Trump evil Trojan House returning Republicans to power


Few Republican congressmen embraced the Trump candidacy. Fewer still outright rejected his cynical appeals to racism, xenophobia, misogyny and utter contempt for decent political discourse. The vast majority blanched when he grabbed the Republican brass ring with the glee he's long enjoyed grabbing certain lady parts, and went all in for his election. They had no choice. He embodies their values: redistribution of wealth to the already wealthy, xenophobia of foreigners, utter disregard to women's reproductive rights, loathing of the LGBT lifestyle, endless buildup of the world's most obscenely bloated military, and denial of climate change to name a few. They disavowed his most egregious comments; some like my congressman Peter Roskam (IL-6), calling them 'slap and dash from a wild card' while promoting his election nonetheless.

They dishonor the profession of politician and lay no claim to statesmanship. They no doubt shrink from examining the pleas of the millions; women and their male compatriots, who took over America's public squares yesterday to vent outrage against a moral monster assuming the presidency. But they don't care; ensconced in the bubble of their safe district or state, thrilled, no doubt, at the prospect of implementing the Trumpian and their agenda for America.

The only remaining question is: now that they used the Trump Trojan Horse to capture the government, how quickly will they move to discard their vehicle to power.
