Hello again people of the Internets.
So here is a #truthbomb for you.
Political Parties are the REASON American politics are so fucked up.
We are not supposed to have political parties.
Political parties are nowhere in our founding documents. They are not only not part of the framers design, they completely break the system. Their existence undermines the entire system of checks and balances based upon three branches of government competing for power.
For example,
In America, if a sitting President's party controls the Senate, that President is above the law.
Fact.
If the Senate won't vote to convict a sitting President who is clearly guilty because of party affiliation, that person is above the law. There is nothing they cannot do except jeopardize the party or its hold on power.
Did you know? George Washington spent his retirement railing against political parties. He went on tour giving speeches railing against parties because he could see, even back then at the very beginning, that they were a fatal flaw.
Instead of the three branches of government competing against each other for power and thus checking each other, the three branches openly cooperate with and cover for each other, but only along party lines.
We all just watched a Republican Senate admit that the President is guilty but vote to allow him to get away with high crimes because he happens to belong to their party.
Because of the GOP's betrayal of the Constitution, we are now witnessing the functional destruction of democracy and the rise of the first functional King of America, King Pussygrabber of the bone spurs. Legend in his own mind. Hero in his own stories. Extortionist of political "favors". Useful idiot to dictators.
Political parties are like cults. Mandatory cults that you have to join to participate in politics in America. Some parties are more literally cults than others.
King Pussygrabber has already begun to flex his new powers and has started to retaliate against the witnesses who testified against his crimes. He even fired Ambassador Sondland, who bribed King Pussygrabber fair and square to get that posting with a million dollars of his own money.
So much for honor among thieves, eh?
Did I mention that King Pussygrabber's cult followers believe he is a paragon of virtue?
Conservatives have always wanted a king. Hamilton offered the monarchy to General Washington, but he turned it down.
It took them 243 years but conservatives finally found someone willing to try and take that position.
I will leave you with a disturbing question. If Trump decided to try and avoid prosecution by staying in office the rest of his life, who is going to stop him? If he declared a national emergency and canceled the elections, do you think the Republicans would turn down permanent power and control?
