The GOP & God & Slavery (That's Right!)

It's ironic that because of their pathetic daddy issues Republicans are so desperate for Trump to be their daddy when what they've gotten is a fucking toddler. - 2026

If we could have just one Republican president in my lifetime who’s not ruled by their daddy issues that’d be great, thanks. - 2025 

Can we get a psychoanalyst to assess the GOP's fascination with martyrdom? It goes: Jesus Christ -> The Confederate Army -> all Christians -> Trump -> any Republicans seeking public office - 2024 

... the GOP has turned into that sitcom character who wanders into the charismatic clutches of the leader at a local youth center, and promises to allow the leader to make all of his decisions for him. - 2011 

...it's the GOP's weird daddy issues that are going to fucking get us all killed. - 2025 

This seems to be thruline/pattern for the American Right, that there is not greater honor than being a martyr in their eyes; the problem is they insist on both being the martyr AND wielding the most amount of power over everyone else at all times. - 2024

These are just a few of the bazillion times on this blog I've mentioned Republicans' Daddy Issues or demands for more religion as being both a weirdly infantile infantile way to live but also a crushing & stupid way to run a government; mostly so far I've felt lost in the wild all by myself on this but an article today in The Atlantic shows maybe I'm not the crazy one after all:

Reynolds leaves the strong impression that slavery flourished in the South instead of the North simply because southern religion and ideology depended on mastery rather than because southern topography and climate also favored the plantation system. 

 

As long as daddy issues & fake Christianity run the country, we will be forced to deal with Trump/Trump 2.0/Trump 3: The Quickening over & over again until we're all just dust & bones and Fat Orange Baby Huey is all by himself writhing around in his soiled diapers happily clutching not only all our money but our collective integrity & self-worth with fat, orange greasy fingers. And we won't even be able to blame Trump since each time the bell was rung, 75M people showed up and demanded he be given all of it, so.
