I can't believe the Republicans are appeasers. They beat the drum for decades how Democrats couldn't stand up to tyrants, and now Republicans are literally appeasers. It's 1984 levels of turnaround.

They don't believe in anything but power. Internal consistency is not a concern.

Republicans are an existential threat to the US and we should treat them as such.

I wish there was only some evidence the GOP is aligned with Russia........

It’s not like you’re gonna find them all flying over to Russia together, like during the 4th of July or some crazy shit like that…

They will verbally jerk off Ronald Regan for "outspending the USSR into dust" and then act like Ukraine Aid doesn't do the exact same thing

It's a whole party caught between giving head to their long term partner, the Military Industrial Complex, or their new side fuck, Vladimir Putin. Either way, the rest of us are forced to lick up the leftovers.

They always were and always will be appeasers and bootlickers. Democrats are also appeasers who lack conviction and courage, but they're not (anywhere near as often) bootlickers.
