Much is being said about how "history" will treat the Republicans

This morning, I saw a post that quoted the obituaries of several Congressmen (they were all men) who voted to exonerate Nixon.

We will not be rewarded by some future shaming of the current leaders who put personal benefit over country.

History is written by the victors in these battles.

Future historians may write about these times in glowing terms; About the brave defense of dear leader against the insurgent Socialists. As the war on media progresses, the truth (as we see it) will be buried as misguided conspiracy theories, much the way we now view Joe McCarthy.

We may be witnessing the fall of democracy.

If they succeed in overthrowing the government, which it looks like they may well do in plain sight, they will decide on the history.

Washington, Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson would have been hanged, and they'd now be brief footnotes in history books, dismissed as traitors.

We're about to see a disgusting new precedent set that allows presidents to cheat in their elections. It's like we're in the twilight zone.

tRUMP on currency and tRUMP on Mount Rushmore, and let's not forget the Pledge of Allegiance to tRUMP for school children.

ALL Republicans everywhere really screwed the pooch in fucking over the USA.
