Can You Handle The Truth?

I have read many attempts by writers to explain what is happening in Conservative Republican politics and the following is the best I have found.  The right-wing phenomenon is bewildering... and out of control.  Their true colors show through when their backs are against the wall and determined to win another four years of carnage.

"To understand the corruption, chaos, and general insanity that is continuing to engulf the Trump campaign and much of the Republican Party right now, it helps to understand the predicate embraced by many Trump supporters:  If Joseph R. Biden Jr. win the the presidency, America dies."      - The Atlantic

"During last week's Republican Convention, speaker after speaker insisted that life under a Biden presidency would be dystopian.  Charlie Kirk, the young Trump acolyte who opened the proceedings, declared, "I am here tonight to tell you - to warn you - that this election is a decision between preserving America as we know it and eliminating everything that we love."  President Trump, who closed the proceedings, said, "Your vote will decide whether we protect law-abiding Americans or whether we give free rein to violent anarchists and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens.  And this election will decide whether we will defend the American way of life or allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it."  And in between, Americans were told that Democrats want to "disarm you, empty the prisons, lock you in your home, and invite MS-13 to live next door" and that they "want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear."

These are the words from Peter Wehner, contributing writer at The Atlantic and senior fellow at Ethics and Public Policy Center.  There is no better description of what is residing in the minds of the President, the Republican Party, and many of their followers today.  

Go back and read this again.  It is absolutely important.  It is factual.  It is frighteningly shocking!

And it is some strange, grotesque version of what was once the Grand Old Party of America.

Can you handle the truth?   

Better yet, can they?
