Thank you David Gerrold and Thomas Clay Jr.! Let the truth be told:

Dear Republicans,

I have quite deliberately removed all of you from my life and I’ve felt an overwhelming sense of peace after blocking my last relative from ever dripping their toxic Republican poison into my mind ever again.

I wanted to set a few things straight with the Republicans who used to be in my life to help vent some of the anger I feel at your dastardly deeds the last few years when you put Trump in my life and fell down the rabbit hole that you are all now in.

There was once part of me that thought the health of our nation was dependent on having two virile parties keeping the other in check lest we head down the path to ruination. But I don’t think that’s the case anymore.

Experience has taught me that if you could reason with a Republican, they wouldn’t be a Republican. Have you noticed that trait amongst yourselves? You all no longer change your minds about anything because you think you are right about everything and for those of us who can change our minds, it’s so tiresome to have to listen to the endless parade of grievances you all have.

That’s true of the majority of the nation as well. We’re all sick and tired of you all constantly bitching and moaning about things that do not effect you in any way but you feel the need to bitch about them anyway. Does that ever get old with you?

There is a list of things you hate that can fill a stadium. The only thing that you all seem to love anymore is hypocrisy and gaslighting.

I remember when you all believed that Russia was our enemy and had they attacked us or tried to attack our allies, you all would have been first to call for sanctions or a military response. Now you all seem to be under the impression that Putin is our friend.

You all used to claim to be the party of ‘family values’ but then you elected a man who cheated on all three of his wives and paid a porn star hush money to not tell anyone about their tryst in a hotel room. Then you all had the audacious gall to say he was a ‘Christian’ despite the fact that he never set foot in a church for his entire adult life *and* has committed every deadly sin and broken every commandment.

I remember when you all used to say you support the blue and were the party of ‘law and order’ but then a bunch of you went to our Capitol and began to assault law enforcement and even maiming them. Now you want to sweep that under the rug and act like we didn’t see you doing it or hear the deafening silence from all of you when we all did.

I remember when you all chanted, ‘lock her up’ without specifying what charge you would like her charged with. I sure can imagine what you all would have said if President Obama had a bunch of his closest advisers indicted and he pardoned them! But what happened when it was your man pardoning his cronies and henchman? Nothing but crickets from you all.

We can all imagine what you would have said if President Hillary had appointed Chelsea to work in some official capacity. The howls of nepotistic outrage would have been deafening but your conspicuous silence when Jared and Ivanka were using gmail to conduct government business said that you all didn’t really care about Hillary’s emails, you only cared about setting new levels of hypocrisy the world had never seen before.

You all never shut up about the Clinton Global Initiative and how it did something illegal that you heard about somewhere but can never say exactly what was done. *THEN* you get to see the Trump Foundation get dissolved after it was proven in court that it had stolen money that *you* donated for veterans *and* children’s cancer and again, you said absolutely nothing but you did nod your heads in agreement that it was ‘political.’

Was the Trump University dissolution also political? Because if it was, why did Trump pay the $25 million fine levied against it? Did you even listen to the testimonials from the people who sued Trump for fraud? Do you think they were Democrats? They weren’t, they were Republicans.

I don’t know how to put this very gently but what the rest of the planet knows is that you were bamboozled, hoodwinked, led astray and basically conned by a conman. The sooner you sober up to that immutable fact, the sooner we might pull you out of that cult that you’ve transmogrified into.

You elected a crook who ran a criminal organization. Of course it’s going to be hard to ever admit that because like I said before, you all aren’t known for changing your minds about anything even when presented with overwhelming evidence.

I know this is going to be a hard pill to swallow because there were 75 million of you who thought he should be president again and the 81 million of us who made Joe Biden president are truly horrified that you would yet again attempt to suicide our democracy out of some sense of sheer petulance.

Just once I wish one of you who says, ‘there were a lot of irregularities in the election’ would actually say aloud what they actually are because I pay attention to this stuff as do a lot of journalist who would like nothing better than to win a prestigious Pulitzer Prize by proving there was some manner of fraud but of course, there was none except by people in your party doing it. All of the convictions for voter fraud in 2020 have been Republicans, all of them.

Dan Patrick offered a $1 million reward for evidence of election fraud and nobody collected but that hasn’t stopped you all from lying about it has it? Hillary conceded the day after the election and Trump is still telling the lie that the election was stolen even in the states where Republicans are in charge of the election. So you don’t like those terms either.

If you can’t win a free and fair election where you do everything you possibly can to keep black people from voting, then just give up on elections huh? That’s the prevalent attitude amongst your gerrymandered politicians. Can’t you all win in a contest of ideas if your’s are so much better?

Ah, there’s the rub. You can’t can you?

Hate doesn’t seem to flourish as much among the kids coming of voter age now does it? Tucker might pull in the 55-65 demographic on Fox but that ‘the NSA is spying on me’ nonsense doesn’t sit too well with them youngins does it?

I guess you all aren’t for the ‘free market’ of ideas anymore since you’ve lost the likes of George Will, Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson and Nicole Wallace. Now you have Marjorie Potater Greene and Lauren Boobert as your ‘brain trust’ and that’s nothing to be proud of except at the klan rallies that have spewed ‘America First’ for over a hundred years now.

You’re a party full of racists and child-traffickers and potatoheads who tried to overthrow an election you lost. That treason isn’t lost on any of us and no matter how hard you try to sweep that under the rug or bury it with your endless lies, we all know what you did. The most troubling thing about all of this is that none of it was a deal-breaker for you.

You were more than willing to sit by as those traitorous insurrectionist tried to murder our elected representatives to overthrow our government so you could do what? Make Trump dictator or king?

And you all have the unmitigated temerity to call yourselves ‘patriots’?

You’re not patriots, you’re traitors to every principle this country was founded upon.

The actual patriots of this land see you for who you are and we will never surrender to the brainwashed cult you’ve become
