Sunday Morning Comin' Down

Since every other Republican of the First Water was apparently down with the Rona they got from huffing the Fumes of Victory at one of Trump's superspreader orgies, neck-deep up Trump's ass or hiding out with Bill Barr at the Undisclosed Location Motel, it fell to failed presidential candidate and America's most famous Mormon invertebrate, Mitt Romney, to make the rounds of the Sunday Shows repeating the Republican party line which they will be pounding to death for the foreseeable future:

1. What happened in the Past and who supported whom is irrelevant.


2. Murrica is a Center/Right country that doesn't want affordable health care and only gives a shit about saving the planet if it can be done via tax cuts.


3. Protect our precious coals and oils! 

In case my word isn't good enough for you, here is Mittens on The State of the Union cable program being stared at by Jake Tapper.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) says who he voted for is “in the rearview mirror.”

Now "I want to make sure that we conservatives keep on fighting to make sure we don't have a Green New Deal, we don't get rid of gas and coal and oil, that we don't have a Medicare For All plan ..." pic.twitter.com/6DmUivyzs3

And here is Mittens reciting the same lines pretty much verbatim on Meet the Press:

CHUCK TODD:  Let me start with a simple question. What did you learn from the voters on Tuesday night?

SEN. MITT ROMNEY:  Well, I learned that Republicans picked up seats in Congress, held onto the Senate, picked up statehouses across the country, but we lost the presidency. And so it's a bit of a mixed message. I think people are saying that conservative principles still account for the majority of public opinion in our country. I don't think the American people want to sign up for the Green New Deal. I don't think they want to sign up for getting rid of coal or oil or gas. I don't think they're interested in Medicare for All or higher taxes that would slow down the economy. But they do want to see a change in leadership in the White House, apparently, at this stage. And so it's a message which says, "All right, a change in leader. But we're not going to be turning a sharp left turn in terms of public policy."

Remember, Mittens is the fucking patron saint of the Never Trump crowd.  The very best their degenerate party has to offer. ("Hokum's Heroes").

Now that the Republican party has spent the past four year very publicly shedding any pretense that it is anything other than a full-blown fascist madhouse it is up to lackeys like Mittens and enablers like the Beltway media to begin the important work of pretending it never happened.

No Half Measures
