Hartmann: Repug Party is an organized gang of sociopaths

Note that he's not saying that about conservatives generally, or healthy conservative values. He is though making the case that the Repugnantan Party has turned sociopathic. Again, not conservative people who have been conned with lies and who are manipulated as props to support the Party, which is the only use the Party now has for them.

Hartmann thinks it began in the Party in 1980 when it was embedded in their policy positions as well as being a criteria for being elected. It was all about further enriching the already rich and to hell with the rest of us. One expression of this was to drown the government in a bathtub along with any program that gave the working class a helping hand up. Of course unions had to be destroyed because they could not have the working class bargaining for reasonable protections and wages; instead they must be enslaved or die. They lied us into wars that killed hundreds of thousands in order to make a profit. They support industries that kill us or endanger our health and that of the environment. Our very lives and health are disposable in a pandemic response that only cares about the bottom line of business. They throw people off much need assistance to survive when millions are unemployed through no fault of their own. Hartmann provides many examples.

Twitler is just the end result of their long history of sociopathy. That's why Republicans are leaving the Party in droves and supporting Biden with whom they disagree on nearly every policy issue. They want their Party back to again represent the human decency and social concern it used to. A Party that used to engage in respectful debate with its opposition, that could negotiate and compromise for the benefit of we the people. They recognize that their Party has been taken over by the sociopaths and hate it as much as every other decent human being. Their Party has abandoned them and they want it back.
