Letter: Republicans always on the wrong side of history

(Orlin Wagner | AP file photo) Then-Kansas Republican gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach speaks during an election night rally in Topeka, Kan., in November 2018. Kobach wasn’t fazed that fellow Republicans worry he’s unpopular or too brash in pushing his hard-right views to keep Kansas’ open U.S. Senate seat in GOP hands next year.

The stunning hypocrisy and sheer mind-blowing, boot-licking incompetence of Republicans is immeasurable.

It should be obvious to anyone with even a modest amount of intelligence that Donald Trump is an illiterate, ignorant, bumbling, lying, vindictive, corrupt, know-nothing dim-wit. And those, by the way, are his only qualities.

But, for some reason, Republicans cannot see that. Why?

Or they do see it but refuse to acknowledge it, which is even worse. They are willing participants in his corruption.

They choose to support this lying, corrupt imposter over their own country and its people? Why? They are enabling his subversion of the presidency and the U.S. Constitution.

Republicans always, and I mean, always, come down on the wrong side of history. They are petty, power-hungry and greedy. They can’t see anything beyond that. They are generally far less intelligent and far, far less empathetic than anyone else.

I’ve always believed that Republicans inhabit a place two or three rungs lower on the evolutionary ladder than other people and they never fail to prove me right.

Why people continue to vote for them is beyond me.
