19. We still have to be wary

Wed Apr 22, 2026, 05:05 PM

Wednesday

these control freak conservatives aren’t die-hard Republicans. To them, it’s just a name. Remember, they were Southern Democrats back in 1900s to 1950s. Then Dixiecrats before becoming Republicans. They will worm their way into the Democratic Party (if some haven’t already). Sinema, Manchin, Gabbard were of this ilk. Fetterman is a special case. But look out for Platner.

They need to be identified not by the “R” after their name. All potential candidates need to be thoroughly vetted. And after the eventual destruction of the GOP, these cretins won’t stay humbled. They’re definitely going to work their way into the Democratic Party, the Green Party, and even a possible progressive party, should such a thing exist.
