GOP: Party has changed

“Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.” Plato

A few weeks into the Trump administration and all we’ve seen is some people believe the game is won when they’ve upturn the game board.  

Republicans like Roosevelt used to be pro conservation/anti trust. Now the GOP is pro “forest management” and anti public sector.

Like Trump, most never venture far enough from the country club to realize a H1B visa and a rake won’t cut it. (No pun intended. We should thank our branch of the DOJ for protecting the Dept of Agriculture from another band of criminals.)

The GOP used to be a party whose leaders fought against fascism and communism. They warned us about iron curtains and crosses. Told us no child left behind and no new taxes necessary.  

Now it’s praise for Putin. “A little pain” from tariffs and a tax funded iron dome over a gated community in Gaza…

What do you expect when a Bishop asks for a little compassion and all you get is demands for an apology? It’s a brave new world as far as DOGE is concerned.
