All the “good” Republicans

It is funny* to think about how much time and energy Coons has put into promoting the idea that some Republicans are the "good" ones. For years this fantasy has allowed him to utterly ignore all crimes, the voter suppression, climate change denialism, the greedy-shitheadedness that is central to modern Republicanism. None of that terrible anti-American stuff matters because the silent majority of "good" ones will reveal their goodness in due time. *sad funny, not haha funny
