It's Time For A Republican Sickout
Hello, congressional Republicans who still care about the Republic!
I know you're out there because I kept hearing how differently Donald Trump's cabinet confirmations would have gone if only the votes had been secret.
We have reached a crisis point. We have reached so many crisis points. In fact, we've flipped our foreign policy so radically that we are now the villain of the world. It seems like all decisions on this end have been handed over to Vladimir Putin and a bunch of preening technofascists.
Our economy is crashing toward a depression, and the only trick the Trump administration pony has is more insane tariffs.
High-level cabinet members endangered the lives of our servicemembers by discussing classified information on the popular hacking target Signal app, and that doesn't even cover gloating over civilian deaths, adding a journalist to the group text, and further damaging our relationship with Europe.
The Trump administration is trying to start wars with freaking Denmark and Canada. DENMARK AND CANADA, for chrissakes!
The most insane thing is that this is an abridged list. There are paragraphs and paragraphs of human rights horrors that I have skipped.
This is it. You are a part of an authoritarian government, a twisted and vile parody of what we once had.
Elon Musk is stripping it for parts and awarding himself lucrative contracts while Donald Trump threatens Republican judges and quite likely lobs all of our state secrets straight to Putin.
The window for stopping this is small and vanishing. The most patriotic thing you could do is stand up and impeach Donald Trump, but, whether it's due to a fear of Trump or fear of his zealots, you're not doing that.
The second most patriotic thing you could do is resign and leave your seat open to a flip by the Democrats. But you don't seem to be doing that either.
So here it is: The third most patriotic thing you can do, your last option for saving your beloved country from falling into chaos.
You need to get the hell out of the way so someone else can save us all!
