The problems within the Republican party have been visible for decades. One example of many, just look at the GOP’s Young Guns from 15 years ago.

On Tuesday, before the votes have all been counted, Donald Trump is going to claim that he won. Trump and the GOP are going to say Trump “won” so that they can say things like. “On election night, we clearly won the election, but these mail-in ballots have ‘flipped’ the election.

The Republican party is evil. The Republican party has been evil my entire life, so that’s at least 47 years. However, this new GOP has taken evil to the next level and the next level after that.
