I Can't Stand GOP Insurrectionists/Quislings or The Hamas Wing of the Democratic Party

There a lot of people who annoy me on both sides of the political aisle.

I cannot stand Republicans whether they worship at the altar of Donald Trump (GOP Insurrectionists) or are just too cowardly to say 2 + 2 = 4 (GOP Quislings) and indulge Trump in his delusions that he won an election he lost by 8 million votes.

While many in the GOP including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minoriity Leader Mitch McConnell were quick to condemn the actions of Trump and his supporters on 1/6 they now cannot bring themselves to support a public inquiry into the matter and act like that day never happened or claim the insurrectionists were benign as tourists as Georgia Republican Congressman Andrew Clyde did despite all evidence to the contrary. 

Their time is spent on so-called election integrity which loosely translated from Russian means they cannot persuade people to vote for them. For a party that decries cancel culture the GOP Insurrectionists and Quislings sure seem ready to cancel millions of votes cast against them. At this stage, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who have firmly spoken out against Trump and his nonsense are voices in the wilderness.

Nor can I stand the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party which seeks to single out Israel for having the temerity to defend itself. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar accuses Israel of "terrorism", AOC invokes "apartheid" while Congresswoman Tlaib publicly berates President Biden for his public support for Israel's right to defend itself. Now they are seeking to block a $735 million arms sale to Israel. Delaware Senator Chris Coons says the view of The Squad (and the Far Left) does not represent the Democratic Party. I have to say the jury is out on that one. At the very minimum, the Democratic Party is indulging the anti-Semitism of Hamas wing of the Democratic Party as GOP Insurrectionists and Quislings are indulging the authoritarian aspirations of former President Trump.

At the best of times politicians are duplicitous creatures worthy only of contempt. Now we have a Republican Party that has hitched its fortunes to a businessman who traffics in conspiracy theory and demands to be worshipped as a false idol while a critical mass of the Democratic Party sees fit to single out the world's only Jewish state for all the world's ills while its mainstream appears to be where the Republican Party was five years ago. I shudder to think what the Democratic Party will be if The Squad becomes its masters.

If these are the only two options I have on the ballot then the only side I can choose is my own.
