1. If only elected republicans had

Marketable skills or a desire to work for a living. Sadly what they do have is a desire not to be primaried regardless of how many will suffer because of their desires. And we have no need to discuss patriotism relative to republicans. It does not exist. They are comfortable cowards.

2. That's it exactly.

Republicans know that if they go against TFG they - and their families - will be subject to threats and he'll make sure that they'll be primaried. So they follow TFG's orders rather than working for the constituents who elected them and who they are supposed to represent. Unfortunately, I have one of them.

3. To My Fellow Americans

Who happen to be elected republicans in Washington, more than 400,000 Americans died in WWII defeating tyranny. The least you could do is pretend to be concerned about the future of democracy and act accordingly. Stroll the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Monday. Those 58,000+ heroes fought an enemy far more badass then the senile selfish moron you worship.

4. Well said.

And are they still teaching history in schools? As WWII fades into the background, too few of the current voting generation know anyone who fought. Both of my grandfathers fought (and survived) WWI, but my father and uncles were too young for WWII. But in 10th grade World History, WWII played a prominent part and my grandmother was active in taking us kids to memorials of all American wars - though the Revolutionary War was memorialized in most of them since that's the war that was fought in this area and my grandmother had ancestors who fought.
