Republicans Are Upset

[NanceGreggs]

I just read a headline from Huff Post: House Republicans Are Upset Democrats Are Investigating Voter Suppression Allegations

It struck me how often we’ve seen the phrase “Republicans are upset” – especially over the past two years.

It also struck me that the Republicans always seem to be “upset” about anything that benefits the citizenry and gives it a voice.

Republicans are upset when more people can vote, when more people have access to healthcare, and when more people can earn a living wage.

Republicans are upset when women claim dominion over their own bodies, when transsexuals can use public bathrooms, and when programs that feed the hungry and shelter the homeless get funding.

But at the same time, Republicans never get upset about a pResident who has told over 9,000 lies, grovels before Puttin and takes his side over our own country’s, is a racist who incites violence, is a self-proclaimed ‘pussy-grabber’, and is under investigation for a myriad of crimes.

Republicans never get upset about children locked in cages, non-existent national emergencies, or a “pResident” so unhinged he’s proudly announced that the noise of wind turbines causes cancer, and his Bronx-born father was born in Germany.

Republicans never, ever get upset about tax-breaks for billionaires, kids doing without a good education, incompetent toadies being appointed to powerful positions, trusted advisors to their “pResident” being indicted, homeless vets, people having to work two jobs in order to get by, and easy access to assault weapons.

When you look at what Republicans get upset about and what they don’t, it really tells you everything you need to know.
