Embodying his mob boss cosplay to a cartoonish degree, Donald Trump over the weekend went after two of the handful of House Republicans who have opted to leave Congress early because being a member of the House Republican conference has become too annoying. (There are plenty of official reasons for these retirements and resignations, but many of the lawmakers who were once bright-eyed about legislating have also expressed exhaustion with operating in a perpetual state of near-shutdown while ostensibly in the majority.)
“Trump allies plot anti-racism protections — for white people.”
Wordy.
“Trump allies plot racism.”
FIFY. Seriously. The first version is one of a thousand euphemisms and circumlocutions that enable the media not to confront what is actually happening.
If you are represented by a “decent” republican at any level, give’em a call and ask them when they are quitting the Trumpublican Party.
I live in VT and call popular anti-Trump GOP gov Scott’s office every couple of weeks to ask why he’s lending his good name to a fascist party. Really, it’s pols like Scott that allow the NYT and others to give the GOP the benefit of the doubt as a legitimate party.
