Of course it’s theatre. The GOP won’t approve it. The show now is to prove how ALL of the GOP is both complicit in corruption AND traitors. This is what we call a link. Something people have to actively work around in their heads.

If they vote GOP, they now vote for people who are ok with children hospitals being bombed by the Russian military. If they vote GOP now, they are OK with the fact that the wealthy can make donations for or against ANYTHING they want - including dismantling their entire life because of something they didn’t think about before. The rest of us always knew it, but they had done a better job of hiding it.

Now it’s out there. Now there is a link. Now you have to say “I am ok with being a traitor for a party that doesn’t have my best interests in mind.”

So yeah it’s theatre. It’d be pretty stupid to not make this big.

Are you still foolish enough to believe that GOP voters care about things like ethics and morals?

Oh you sweet summer child!.

I’m with this guy I think we should throw our hands up and never try to do anything difficult. Life is easier when you just give up, and it’s more fun when you can demoralize those around you as well!

Look at these slacktivist losers complaining on the internet like they’re actually accomplishing anything.

Yet you’re going to go and vote for the exact same people you’ve all been voting for your entire pathetic lives.
