The many, many examples of GOP compassion

Listen, the GOP does not get a fair shake on this board, and frankly it’s getting a little tiresome. Sure, we disagree on many policies (e.g., should citizens die for lack of basic medical care), but Republicans are not without hearts.

So, enough with the demonization, let’s share examples of the kindness and compassion we see every day from our friends across the aisle. I’ll start, with just a few I’m aware of:

  1. Free soft drink refills at any razor wire buoys in border rivers.
  2. Pardons for all at every fifth insurrection.
  3. “Leave a tiki torch, take a tiki torch” baskets at all neo-Nazi demonstrations.
  4. Low-cost, user-friendly “thoughts and prayers” website for shooting victims’ families, 50% discount for repeat customers.
  5. Free number tattoos for families separated at the border, for easier possible reunification if anyone is released alive.

Any others that you’re aware of? Let’s be generous and acknowledge the goodness we see from our GOP brothers and sisters.

Moderating

This is not suitable fare for IMHO. It’s political and ranty. If you want, I can move it to the pit. Or you might ask a P&E mod if it would be okay there (although I think it’s better for the pit.)

Anyway, I’ve closed it here, and it will stay closed until/unless it’s moved.

After discussing with the OP, this has been moved to the pit and re-opened.

Free book turn-in booth at all state/county fairs in Texas, followed by a free-admission book burning on the evening of closing day.

Removal of all references to slavery in history textbooks makes white children feel better about being racists.

They’ve made it so much easier for me to fill in my ballot every couple years!

And for every dozen books cleared out of your child’s school library you get a half-off coupon for your local gun store.

When you buy a Supreme Court Justice, you get a Senator for half price.

For many values of American Christian, you can get your religious sermon and political sermon at the same venue and the same time! Two-for-one is the American way!

Let’s not forget the government subsidy program for all Chanel clothing purchases, available to any and all transgender men. Generous and fashionable!

The GOP’s family planning ideas are wonderful! They’re always thinking of the children!

They claim to oppose affirmative action, but they found Tommy Tuberville a job, and gave him an assistant to remind him to breathe. Now he’s a role model for all stupid people.

One of many examples! They have a lizard person as Minority Leader! Sure, he gets sluggish out of the sun, but so what?

I’m surprised that no one yet has pointed out the biggest example of GOP compassion. They took a totally unqualified person, with a history of questionable behavior, and provided him with a four-year job.

To be fair, it is an entry-level job with very few requirements to being hired. You don’t even need any prior experience!

True. But there are a lot of life-time benefits and fund-raising opportunities available.

pity he didn’t get the extension that he so much hoped for …

sad … I say … SAD!!!

Gotta say that the GOP is quite compassionate for giving somebody who literally tried to have a lot of them killed a second chance at the Presidency.
