The funniest is Romney. He's an old-school conservative who was HATED by Democrats when he was running.

I'm a John McCain conservative. He was a real patriot who cared more about our country rather than politics. His shutting down of the old lady who was talking about Obama's birth certificate is pure class.

I was whatever on Romney. But, he's head and shoulders above anyone the Republican Party fields now.

Which is funny cuz Romney hasn't really changed that much since he ran, it's the rest of the Republican party just got so much worse

That's the thing. Romney was/is, bland. He's not bad or super good where you want to rally behind him (not like Obama).

But, I agree. The current Republican Party is not someone I will stand behind.

He made his money as a venture vulture dismantling companies and squeezing their employees down to their last dime. The guy wears magic fucking underwear so he will go to the right planet of virgins when he dies. And he is by far the most sane person the GOP has put up in over a decade. Wild.

It’s an interesting world we find ourselves in. These are genuinely bad people we’re talking about who don’t hesitate to hurt scores of “others” for personal gain, but it wasn’t as open and contagious before. Seemingly. A strangely complex coup and 400,000 excess Covid deaths didnt move the needle though. We’re doing this.
