I used to defend Republicans like McCain and Romney with comments like "he's just a business man" or "he was a Vietnam veteran who sacrificed so much for this country" while ignoring some of the people that were actually right (but for different ideological reasons). These guys are corrupt assholes that only ever cared about their own political career or making some more money squeezing some shitty company (hello GME, or staples in Romney's case). McConnell is no different.

Sure it's fun to make some memes about cocaine Mitch, "defend the turtle", hey that shipping company business is legit, nothing to see here, he's doing nothing illegal. "Hey isn't that funny he's ripping Schumer and the democrats with a little smile."

I tolerated Mitch because it appeared he was doing some things right. He got some good jabs on democrats that make good headlines for a day, and got a few judges through the senate, but in exchange we look the other way on his relationships with china, his wife getting the absolute payola of a job at transportation secretary so she can run her father's shipping business unmolested in the face of china tariffs.

Mitch proved he never had the President's back. He only cared about his own power and career. I'm here to say I know I was wrong for backing and defending these snakes, liars, and traitors (and believe me there are many more than Romney, McCain or McConnell) because I was younger and more naive or idealistic. Hey, I wanted to win as a conservative, but now I see they were only acting as conservatives.

If this past year has taught me anything it's that, the "lesser of two evils" paradigm in politics is evil in itself. I justified voting for losers that wouldn't fight, were too comfortable being in the minority position to ever know how to lead.

Thank you Trump for encapsulating exactly how worthless the current republican party is.
