Go Republicans!

A friend posted on Facebook the very nice letter she wrote to a good friend about that friend's plan to vote for Trump. My reply:

Nice letter, Carol. Of course, it's a complete waste of time and effort if you were hoping to affect her priorities, positions or votes. Republicans have given up rationality and realism in favor of power at any price, leaders that will tell them the lies they want to hear, hypocrisy at levels that would kill anybody with a conscience, and over-arching "Otherism" (fear/hatred of people/groups that are different from "us" in any way). Trump is not the problem, he is merely a symptom and logical expression of modern Republicanism.
