GOP: A little advice

Dear Republican Party,

There’s a simple solution for your problem. The best way to stomp on the vanity displayed by this den of asps is to invoke real penance.

Hang the gun back over the mantle. Put the thin blue line cap and the Oath Keeper merch back on the valet stand. Replace the “Don’t Tread On Me!” bulletin board with something catchy like “Earth to Major Musk.”

I’m not saying change your values or your politics one bit. Just saying your flash in the pan antics attract the wolves and the wackadoodles every time.

Is it far fetched to see how evil people like Putin see our country’s knack for narcissism as our biggest weakness?

…Or go attend yet another Trump rally and listen for an hour or two about how it’s everyone else’s fault. It’s his party after all.
