MAGA-GOP goes against everything good about human kind

Everything I was brought up to be has been insulted, sneered at, and trashed by the current Trump-MAGA-GOP. They seem to aspire to evil:

  • “Tell the truth” – Ha! The amount of lying from Trump and his supporters astounds.
  • “Help others” – Trump only helps himself. The Trump-GOP is destroying the social safety net and help for those disadvantaged. They are throwing 10+ million off health insurance. They ended foreign aid to those starving.
  • “Be respectful” – Trump-MAGA lies, insults and attacks whoever questions them. They ignore the law and Constitution. They actively hurt innocent people. They never apologize.
  • “Be trustworthy and obedient” – Trump ignores and sneers at his oath of office. GOP Senators and Representatives serve Trump not their oath to the Constitution and the people they promised to serve.
  • “Be kind and friendly” – Trump-GOP-MAGA make extra efforts to be mean and uncaring to anyone less fortunate, to anyone who disagrees with them, to anyone of color and to all LGBTQ+.
  • “Be thrifty” – Their BBB blows the U.S. deficit up by 3 trillion dollars in order to move wealth from regular people to Trump and billionaires. And they lie about it.
  • “Be brave” – Trump chickened out of serving in the military. The cowardly GOP will not push back about violent deportation, impulsive tariffs, illegal firing, and clownish appointments.

We truly live in the upside down right now. And the Trump-MAGA-GOP acts like a death cult; they are maladaptive and uncooperative. What they practice goes against everything good about human kind.
