a rant, profound disappointment in my fellow Floridians [View all]

I get that a large percentage of my fellow Floridians are Republicans. If a Republican President like Eisenhower or even George H.W. Bush was running for re-election, I could understand their votes.

However, we have a fascist dictator-wannabe in the White House. By any objective measure, he is a horrible President and the very worst Republican President. At some point, PRINCIPLES matter over PARTY. If President Obama had been this horrible, I would have had to make that difficult choice.

A virulent pandemic ? 8 percent unemployment ? Thousands of small businesses going out of existence ? Food insecurity ? A dictator-wannabe pushing the Attorney General to do unethical and illegal things on his behalf. The gutting of the Justice and State Departments. Swampy appointments to many executive branch agencies. Threatening Dr. Anthony Fauci with firing. KIDS IN CAGES AT THE BORDER. Rampant abuse of the Hatch Act. Usage of the White House for frankly partisan political purposes. Attempting to ban Muslims from entry into the USA. I could go on and on and on.

All of that is NO PROBLEM for those PARTY over PRINCIPLE Republican voters. THEY NEED TO BE ASHAMED OF THEIR VOTES.

I really understand now why Hitler and Mussolini rose to power.

eta: Oh yeah, how could I forget, attempting to pressure the Ukrainian President to do his dirty work about Joe Biden and getting impeached for it in the House and then his ENABLERS giving him a pass in the Senate.
