  This title is so badly structured 😐
context: Maybe someone should point out his party to him.  Cruz, Boebert, Green and others. >
  
  ...Lee, Gohmert, Tuberville, Biggs, Hawley, Jordan... >
  
  ...Mitch.... >
  
  This is the right answer.  Mitch could and should have made a difference, but he played the game like everyone else. >
  
  Common Mitch, if it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, squawks like a duck...it probably is....you are who you hang with.... >
  
  Man, maybe if republicans weren’t so nasty and chaotic, people wouldn’t think that >
  
  True; Trump just let us see that with no self-censorship. >
  
  Old Republicans have always been pretty nasty, chaotic, and bitchtastic.
  Since the Reagan times, they have been the stuffy kick poor people in the face group.  I never understood why so many of my fellow poors lined up to be punched in the jaw. >
  
  People lined up to support the republicans because the democrats abandoned the unions and the working class with policies like globalization (NAFTA) and tax cuts for the rich. Plus they got the racism side perk which gave them an “other” to blame over the white men creating their problems. >
  
  To be fair- despite democrats being significantly better and more supportive of unions. Union members in large numbers decided to abandon the party because of culture war bullshit and racism. >
  
  In northern Minnesota’s Iron range forever we’re conservative democrats.  All the union members.  Really only democrat mainly because of unions. But the combo of environmentalists “against” new mines like the proposed copper mine near BWCA and Trump, never before democrat strong holds voted republican.  And it looks like they won’t return anytime soon.  
  Now I know democrats are the supporters of unions, but up in iron mine country it’s more than that.  Most of them think democrats are anti-mining and so that’s their lively hood.   That is the iron range all along northern/northeast Minnesota. >
  
  I know this is going to suck to hear but a lot of union jobs simply don’t make sense anymore economically like coal mining. It’s funny to hear coal miners bitching and complaining about immigrants and bitching and complaining their shitty podunk mining town is dying. It was their great great grandfathers who moved from their home/country to find work in these mining towns and they can’t see that these immigrants they hate so much are doing the same to provide for their families, while they sit there too lazy to move, to dumb to read the tea leaves and expecting that the modern equivalent to alchemy coming back. >
  
  I Agree with ya.  I see it all the time.                       My Grandpa, was a little kid when his family came over from Poland through Ellis island.  Became a navy man and when he came back after ww2 he worked in the iron mines in northern mn.  In their hay day.  Mining towns are boom or bust.   Their argument to what you just said is, “Come here legally! Like my grand parents and their parents did!”   (Not my family, they don’t say these things).   But the iron range has become 60% MAGA country. >
  
  Uh. No. The platform of bigotry, misogyny, racism, and greed existed decades before Trump even ran. Republicans, especially McConnell, fully supported Trump in pushing policies that are killing women, stealing people's right to vote, facilitating the continued transfer of property and wealth to corporations. Trump made the inevitable outcome of conservative thinking plainly visible to millions who insisted it couldn't happen here. >
  
  Exactly. And Mitch skated past every opportunity to pull it out of the ditch. He traded the chaos and lies for power to stack the judiciary, enabling all of it. >
  
  Trump only brought out the inherent nastiness in already nasty Republican electorate. >
  
  yea. you don't turn into a racist mysognist just because one guy got elected president. it's more like they finally got a guy who said the things that they want to say out loud >
  
  Nah, Mitch. It was when you held a US Supreme Court seat hostage. Probably before that, too. >
  
  Newt Gingrich in the 90s is usually referenced as the beginning of the "soulless/evil" stage of the republican party.  Though you could make a case for Reagan in the 80s.  They've been evil for a long time really, they've just been slow to reveal themselves behind their masks >
  
  Newt "the Contract on America" Gingrich
  Tom Delay was another one >
  
  Reminder that Tom DeLay was taking “donations” from Russian oil execs way back in the 90s. >
  
  Huh, I didn't know that - I just knew he was a corrupt POS. >
  
  So much to ridicule here:
  1) He made them "think" they're nasty and chaotic? They are nasty and chaotic.
  2) Trump's influence has waned? Maybe, but the Republican base still loves him. No one who opposes him is actually going to win a primary.
  McConnell is living in cloud cuckoo land. >
  
  A lot of us thought that about your party, regardless of Trump. >
  
  but they are.... >
  
  No that was the behavior of the republican party that did that. >
  
  Moscow Mitch did a pretty good job of it too. >
  
  Haha.   Come on Mitch Boebert, Green. Gaetz ,  I could go on.  It isn’t just Trump that makes the party look bad.?    Blame yourself. >
  
  Oh I don't know Mitch. Maybe you been running that type of platform for over 40 years and maybe you really didn't know what you were doing with stacking the Supreme Court. Because your in-laws think like the 1930s and you never told these conspiracy people: "Would you shut up! If people thought your way when we were all kids we all be dead by now." But nope, had to be: "But making Trump and MAGA responsible will destroy the GOP. I can't do that!" Now he is: "Shit! What did I do!?" >
  
  Does the Turtleman own a mirror? >
  
  Are we positive he’s not Zuckerberg from the future? >
  
  Still in denial about the character of his Party. >
  
  More about trying to put a positive spin on his party.  Like “Seriously we’re not the party of Trump or out of touch, sexist, racist supremacists, we like rich people and ‘conservatives’ too!”  Despite, all the video evidence showing mostly the contrary.  
  If W’s 8 years and Trump’s everything in 4 didn’t show you what this party does when in power then either you have a short memory or just don’t care. >
  
  “If we nominate Trump we will be destroyed…and we will deserve it” 
  -American Traitor Senator Lindsey Graham >
  
  Republicans did that.
  Trump is a symptom, not the cause. >
  
  Mitch is right. Before Trump I only thought Republicans were greedy, cynical, sociopathic and cruel. >
  
  
  Trump Made Voters ~~Think~~ Realize Republicans 'Nasty'
  
  FTFY >
  
  Well, come on now. I mean, every time is see 'Former White House Advisor Ivanka Trump' ...I just have to laugh a little.
  It's like we're living in a Mel Brooks movie >
  
  Trump held up a mirror. Some Americans loved the reflection. Some hated what theysaw. >
  
  I mean maybe we think that way because of how they are? >
  
  “Chaotic?” Seriously? The entire planet has PTSD after the chaos trump & the GOP wrought upon our world. “Nasty,” just isn’t a strong enough term about how most of us feel about them. I’m going to go with VILE. >
  
  Sorry Mitch but you are just as guilty as Trump >
  
  Only the 1% think Republican's are not nasty and chaotic. They get the best representation that money can buy! >
  
  Gee-wiz golly Mitch, 
  think you have had a spinal column with you the last eight years? You aided just as much as anyone in the party because he was semi useful to you.
  I don’t suppose anyone in Kentucky would like to run against and club him over the head with how useless he has been for his constituents. >
  
  No not really. We got there on our own observations. >
  
  Yeah, all I’ve heard from them over the last decade or so is that I’m a coastal elite, that being college-educated means I’m a brainwashed idiot, and that I’m not a “real American”because of it. Screw ‘em. >
  
  Ignoring the GOP’s shift to the right in the 1900s and their growing affiliations with the KKK, David Duke, antimodernism, homophobia, etc. is pretty much peak McConnell political analysis, and not very smart. Even he used to support abortion in the 1980s before falling into the wayside. >
  
  I don't know, I think the hypocrisy has a lot to do with it. Not holding a vote on a supreme court nominee a year before the election and then rushing one thru only months before. I think acting nasty pretty much reveals the nasty ass characters that republicans are >
  
  Ewan McGregor voice You have done that yourself! >
  
  Trump Showed Voters That Republicans Are Treasonous and Hateful. >
  
  We knew long before Trump came along. What we didn’t know was how republicans would fight tooth and nail to protect him.
  You’re accomplices. >
  
  Don’t forget racist, misogynistic, corrupt and stupid. >
  
  The Republican Party is fundamentally broken >
  
  I would throw cruel in there as well. >
  
  Trump made voters aware republicans are nasty and chaotic, thanks to people like Mitch McConnell. >
  
  They were before Trump. Now they are worse. >
  
  Mitch made that happen >
  
  ~~B~~ Mitch, please! >
  
  I mean they are, but we already knew that. >
  
  Can it, Mitch. You whispered sweet nothings in his ear for four years like the rest of 'em. We're angry that Republicans didn't try to rein him in when he was a bull in a china shop on the international stage. >
  
  He encouraged republicans to show their true colors. And they obliged. >
  
  Mitch "One of my proudest moments was when I told Obama, ‘You will not fill this Supreme Court vacancy’” McConnell says what? >
  
  McConnell can f*ck off. Trump isn't the problem - he's a symptom of the problem. I got out of the GOP 20+ years ago when it became clear the inmates were taking over the asylum. The party is run by crazies and/or spineless power mongers like McConnell who will do anything to appease the so-called "base." >
  
  No republicans did that by not putting trump in this place including you mitch >
  
  Chickens've come home to roost, Moscow Mitch. >
  
  McConnell : "how dare he make voters think we're nasty and chaotic, we aren't chaotic!" >
  
  We are, in fact, brutality efficient in our cruelty towards the Poors. If you’re too chaotic, they start to think about rebellion. Can’t have that.” McConnell said jowly. >
  
  The GOP is a rotting corpse. Trump just had his way with it. It was already nasty. He just took it to a new level… with his “genius.” >
  
  think?
  More like realize. >
  
  Oh no, Mitch. Believe me, we thought that long before Trump. He just solidified that, while reminding everyone that the whole of the GOP is rotten to the core.
  That includes you, Mitch. >
  
  Here comes the epic re-branding where we are all supposed to forget about the horrible shit Republicans said and did during the Bush and Obama years while pretending the problem is just Trump as opposed to decades of 'conservative' bigotry and support for fascism. >
  
  They've been hinting at it since the Lincoln Project, but now they're going full Madison Avenue >
  
  Probably should have whipped his senators into shape during the first or second impeachment. Asshole. >
  
  Fuck off, Mitch, you gaslighting piece of shit. Republicans are nasty, Trump just made more of them feel comfortable being upfront about it. >
  
  Says the guy who is blocking legalizing marijuana. Dude y’all are nasty and chaotic. >
  
  When in truth you’re just organised evil. >
  
  McConnell aided and abetted Trump for 4 yrs.  If people like McConnell had stood up for integrity we wouldn’t have had this mess >
  
  This. McConnell could have stopped him long ago.  
  Moreover, Republicans were nasty fucs long before Trump came along.  Gingrich ushered in the current era of vilifying the opposition. >
  
  Then why you still standing behind him? Is it because republicans are in actuality quite nasty and chaotic? >
  
  “But we’re not nasty and chaotic, we’re hateful and stubborn!” >
  
  Republicans made voters think Republicans 'Nasty,' Chaotic... they're really trying to pin this shit on Trump? They've been getting worse ever since the election of Bush. This turtle was also a huge part of that. >
  
  The quiet part is now out loud. >
  
  Lol. Oh and it took you this long to figure that out?? Oh and by the way, there is a pretty large number of them that actually are nasty and chaotic! >
  
  Republicans have done a solid job of doing that themselves >
  
  Coming up with a policy platform other than whatever trump wants would be a good start, ahole. >
  
  Glossing right over the fact that Trump is a symptom, not the disease. >
  
  "Why don't people like us?" asks a culture that fought a war to preserve slavery, resisted civil rights at every turn, and now openly threatens democracy. Trump didn't make republicans the way they are. They've always been nasty. >
  
  It was all the nasty chaotic Republicans who did that for me >
  
  As opposed to nasty and calculated. >
  
  I don’t know if he made me think it, but he sure help solidify my position in that direction >
  
  Late to the party on that one... the Tea Party did that all by itself, though tRump certinally added to it. >
  
  Mitch had many opportunities to defend democracy and decorum and chose to support Trump knowing all of this a long time ago. Zero respect and no forgiveness. >
  
  Trump is just a symptom of the disease. >
  
  Thanks for the wake up call, Trump!
  Best cure for indoctrination I've ever had. >
  
  The lack of republicans condemning Trump when he did horrible things is what made me think republicans were nasty. I have always been liberal in red states. I always assumed my Republican friends were religious, moral people who were single issue voters. The mental gymnastics they did with trump showed them to be nasty people, who only embrace religious ideals as an excuse to support nasty candidates. >
  
  Nah, you did that Mitch >
  
  The Republicans who stood with Trump for years should fall with Trump now. >
  
  Yep, that’s who you are. >
  
  I dont think those things mitch; your voters actions’ made me know those were true. Trump only made them feel comfortable saying it out loud >
  
  No No No,
  Trump did not make people think of the Republican party and think nasty are bad thoughts. I'm someone who has voted for Democrats and Republicans.
  Trump is a crooked politician, we know this and they know this. More importantly our founding fathers predicted this and in all their wisdom they set up checks and balances for this exact same reason. When people think of the Republican party and think (nasty), its not because of anything Trump has done it's because what Congress and Republican senators have not done.
  
  
  When he said grab them by the pussy. You stood by and said nothing, instead you held him up at your nominee and then elected him to office.
  
  
  When he said there are good people on both sides. You did nothing.
  
  
  When he fired the director of the FBI you did nothing.
  
  
  When he pressured a foreign leader for dirt on his opponent. You did nothing.
  
  
  when his family allowed for Nationals to stay into his hotel clearly bribing him. You did nothing
  
  
  When he allowed covid to spread across the United States and told his supporters not to wear mask. You did nothing.
  
  
  When Trump picks crazy lunatic candidates for the position of Congress and Senate. You did nothing
  
  
  When trying to pass gun control to stop school shootings. You did nothing for decades
  
  
  When he tried to overthrow the government of the United States of America, you did nothing.
  
  
  When he scams his supporters over and over again, you do nothing.
  
  
  When Biden tried to pass covid relief for millions of Americans that were hurting, You did do something. You try to block it.
  
  
  When Biden try to forgive student loans to help out people in need, you blocked it.
  
  
  I find it hilarious bet out of all people Mitch McConnell would have something to say about the way people view the Republican party.
  When Garland was nominated for the supreme Court Mitch McConnell stated that the people should have a right to choose who is elected to the supreme Court and because this was an election year (18 months away for the record) The Republican party did not even hold hearings for Garland. 
  2 weeks away from the election and Ruth Ginsburg passes away, the first thing Mitch McConnell does is rush somebody into the supreme Court.
  For the first time I'm going to stand up for Trump and say please Mitch McConnell do not blame him for everything you had a big part in the way Americans view your party. >
  
  Nah, they were that way long before Trump. >
  
  Yeah, but that's a feature, not a bug.
  Put out Republican candidates that aren't as shitty and the shittiest Americans won't feel nearly as motivated to get out and vote for them. >
  
  it sounds like what he said about Trump before the election in 2016 but he supported him completely for 4 years. Oh well. >
  
  No, Republicans did that. Trump is just presenting a scapegoat. >
  
  For me it was abortion. That’s what is was Mitch.  The GOP desire to legislate my body. >
  
  And Mitch made the Republicans look like they choose party over country in a very orderly and compromised manner. >
  
  I have to admit seeing all this infighting within the GOP is quite enjoyable it really has escalated over the last week. >
  
  No Republican support for Trump, no matter what he did or said, made it very clear that Republicans are nasty and amoral. >
  
  The only Tuth^tm that Trump ever shared with America. >
  
  Proof that even a broken clock is right twice a day! >
  
  *see clearly what they somehow hadn't seen before >
  
  Given how much the turtle has bowed to Cheetolini, I would say this statement is nasty and chaotic. >
  
  r/leopardsatemyface >
  
  Because they are? I’m confused here. >
  
  Trump made them see the truth, Mitch. Your party is scum, no point hiding it. >
  
  No, it was the lack of a response from those republicans to his nasty and chaotic behavior that cemented the knowledge >
  
  Not really, Mitch. I always knew you and your cronies were evil sacks of shit. Cheeto Mussolini was just more loud about it. >
  
  this is from the man who stood in front of congress the night of the jan 6th attacks and implied he had enough of Trump then when it came time to impeach him twice refused to vote to do so and pretty much discouraged others from doing the same and looked the other way.
  so dont act like your all butthurt now over him. >
  
  Nah, Mitch McConnell did that ages ago. Trump just solidified it permanently. >
  
  They literally put up a banner that said "We are all domestic terrorists" at the CPAC conference. >
  
  Mitch isn’t doing anything to lessen the nasty chaos >
  
  Trump = Chaotic Evil
  McConnell = Neutral Evil >
  
  And you contributed you bloated scrotum with eyes! >
  
  No, Republicans and their supporters did that on their own. >
  
  Says the guy who blocked Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court by not allowing a vote.  I'd say that's pretty nasty, Mitch, wouldn't you? 
  And as for "chaotic", you bought into Trump world lock, stock, and barrel.  Two impeachments, two effective stonewalls by Senate Republicans.  You could have gotten rid of him, but instead you chose "chaos".  Way to go, Mr. Hypocrite. >
  
  And losers >
  
  Wait until DeSantis comes to town and kicks McConnell out. Desantis was the legal torture czar at Guantanamo according to the prisoners there. He makes McConnell look like a choirboy. The fight is not over yet. >
  
  Mitch is responsible for his fair share of that sentiment as well. Hypocritical old turtle! He’s the one who essentially ruined the Supreme Court. >
  
  Mitch just mad because trump really highlighted just how shitty the Republican Party is. >
  
  The biggest issues on the left are abortion and gun control.  The biggest issues on the right are gender pronouns, Hunter Biden and Dr Fauci.  Conservative media has been feeding questionable information to their voters for so long that they are losing touch with reality and eating their own propaganda.  Then they can’t figure out why they are losing elections.  It’s gotten to the point where they are starting to obstruct themselves now. >
  
  Mitch should have said “overtly nasty and chaotic.” The only difference is that 45 & company say the quiet part out loud. Mitch is just as much a monster. I do appreciate his understanding of the importance of defeating the Russians in Ukraine, but he’s a POS. >
  
  It’s not just Trump.  It’s a bunch of other republicans. But not only that.  It’s MOST republicans.  You said nothing when trump did evil and despicable things.  You’re silent agreement, disgusts me.  The party of laws? pfft.   The party of Jesus?   Pfffft.   Never have I seen a party so bereft of the values Jesus taught, or even just basic laws.  It’s like they were trying to be as evil and as nasty as possible. 
  I blame all republicans.  And it serves you right.   You guys did this to yourselves.   You saw what trump did.  You saw him break law after law.  It was all over the news.  You had the opportunity to remove him from office during the two impeachments.  And you chose to roll with the consequences. >
  
  We've thought that since Reagan. Only went downhill from there. >
  
  Said the guy who tanked his own bill when Obama was in office. >
  
  Ol mcdouche thinks he can wash out the stink with fading trump. >
  
  Um, because they are, Mitch. >
  
  They always have been >
  
  Nah…moscow mitch and the gqp swamp lizards did that very well long before they got suckered by benedict donald. >
  
  Trump was a symptom, not a source. 
  Republicans are nasty and chaotic. >
  
  Well Mitch is nasty >
  
  "We ARE nasty and chaotic, but we have to tone it down a bit in 2024 to attract a few independent voters." >
  
  Quoting McConnell, "We lost support that we needed among independents and moderate Republicans, primarily related to the view they had of us as a party—largely made by [the Repubicans who look in the mirror].
  What's obvious is that Republlican leadership is convinced the Republican voters are infantile, intellectually incompetent, unable to think or understand anything, but who love a good conspiracy and illogical bullshit.  And I don't disagree. >
  
  Funny, Americans have been thinking McConnell is nasty and a bad look for Republicans way before T-Rump became politically viable. >
  
  Republican platform consists of: Obstruction, ineptitude, corruption, owning liberals. 
  Nothing helpful. No agenda. >
  
  One word: hypocrite >
  
  McConnell should just shut up. He knew what he got into back in 2016, and had every chance to get rid of him, but didn’t. This one is one you, Mitch. >
  
  No, you bloated rotting turtle corpse. Republicans made voters realize they were nasty and chaotic by showing their true colors through their support/embrace of someone like Trump.
  Trump was merely a bright orange spotlight that brought all that nastiness and despicable bullshit out in the open. >
  
  Weird. I always figured Mitch was a self aware asshole. >
  
  Who is worse the nasty, chaotic one or the one too afraid to stand up to him? >
  
  You would think at some point these fucks would start dying off. How old if Mitch. 87? >
  
  No. Republicans behavior made me think they are nasty and chaotic. Trump just happened to be their key official >
  
  Well Mitch you can feel free to prove us wrong any day. 
  All you have to do is pass any kind of legislation that makes America a better place for the average person.
  Just one bill, Mitch. You’ve been in the senate since 1985. Prove us wrong, any time you want. >
  
  Trump was just abrasive shitty sand paper, exposing all the rust and rot underneath the paint >
  
  I thought that before Trump tho >
  
  Chaotic Evil vs. Lawful Evil >
  
  Translated: we prefer to stab our constituents in the back and not loudly in their face >
  
  I think nasty and chaotic is a good description of Mitch. >
  
  Oh my god fuck this guy >
  
  Allowing the Tea Party to take over your party is no fault but your own. >
  
  Aaah  , the turtle turns to topple Trump >
  
  Not so much think as observe >
  
  Dude you made republicans nasty way before Trump >
  
  Whattever. I am not going back. >
  
  As if Trumpism isn't the logical conclusion of McConnellism >
  
  Between the two of them, I genuinely think McConnell is nastier and more evil, and that’s really saying something. >
  
  But they are Mitch, they are >
  
  Republicans really do get off on making ridiculous statements that correlate to the fantasy world inside of their head. >
  
  “Trump made voters think”
  Hilarious. >
  
  Finally McConnell is truthful - republicans are chaotic nasty and let me add hateful. >
  
  Change "made" to "showed". >
  
  Yet refused to vote to impeach him. Talks cheep when it’s all lies. >
  
  Truth hurts, don't it? >
  
  I think Mitch is starting to get really worried about his legacy. Not that it was anything to be proud of in the first place. >
  
  Trump has his faults and believe there are so so so many…. However he took advantage of the conditions McConnel set up in the US… Trump is a mere beneficiary of what McConnell has done to the judiciary system and Constitution.. He deserves all the smoke for the explosion of the Republican Party .. He has been in power for decades and Trump was able to blow the party in 4 years… Give me a fucking break… Both POS deserves equal blame… 🤷🏽‍♂️😒🥱🗑️ >
  
  Here's the thing. They could drop a bunch of the culture war stuff and basically be unstoppable. Just let gay and trans people alone and they couldn't lose. But they're infected with right-wing christian nationalism and so are forced to bend to their increasingly insane demands. >
  
  Shut the fuck up Mitch. >
  
  No, Trump didn’t do that. You did. By standing next to him the whole damn time, and never standing up for a single moral principle, eventually abandoning him only because he was no longer expedient. >
  
  Again, no - REPUBLICANS did that. Your voters, your “policies”, your shameless theft of SCOTUS seats & other judgeships in pursuit of partisan power. You ARE “nasty” terrible people. >
  
  STFU Mitch. Repubs ARE "Nasty, Chaotic", with or without Trump. >
  
  Nah, Newt Gingrich and Mitch McConnell made me realize the fact that Republicans are nasty and, let’s face it, total assholes, long before the orange douchebag came sliding down on his pile of shit. >
  
  Says the guy who’s been a fraud his whole career… >
  
  I don't like the former President. I didn't vote for him, he's a criminal, and a traitor.
  That having been said, Senator McConnell is really just upset that he said the quite part out loud. McConnell was perfectly happy to use the guy for his own greedy, corrupt, evil ends. It's a difference of degree, not kind. The Traitor President didn't do anything that wasn't already part of the platform, he was just crass and stupid about it. >
  
  Nah, we already thought that about the GOP before Trump.
  The Donald just confirmed that it ran deeper and much worse. >
  
  I don't know Mitch, I think we have slightly stronger thoughts about them.
  Traitors, Insurrectionists, Bigots, Kleptocrats, Fundamentalists, Extremists, Criminals...
  I'd personally rather if they were just nasty and chaotic. >
  
  "Mitch McConnell Made Voters Think Republicans 'Nasty,' Chaotic" now blames the fuck he created. >
  
  “I mean we are. But he made people realize.” >
  
  Uh.... who wants to tell him? >
  
  Trump Made Voters ~~Think~~ REALIZE Republicans 'Nasty,' Chaotic, Mitch McConnell Says >
  
  And then Coco Chow agreed with Mr. Turtle's wise assessment. >
  
  Mr. Trump had better not let them blame Republican nastiness on him.  Fight back, man! >
  
  the word is "realize", not "think" >
  
  R's have been nasty for a long time.  Birchers, McCarthy, Nixon, Limbaugh, Gingrich, etc.  Trump and the current R's are just continuing the pattern.
  Hey, Mitch, how about coming up with some actual policies to fix the country and the world ?  Positive policies on climate change, renewable energy, poverty, healthcare, wealth/income inequality, guns.  Not just denial and destruction. >
  
  Just goes to show you even the nastiest people like trump have some redeeming quality. >
  
  Republicans are worse then trash, because at one time, trash was meaningful. >
  
  "America First" was the cry of the American Nazis/Fascists back in the 1930s. The "Country First" slogan of the McCain campaign wasn't an accident either. >
  
  That's because they ARE nasty and chaotic
  But we knew that before Trump too >
  
  Showed, they showed themselves >
  
  Are they not?   All evidence up to this point indicates they are.
  Taking rights away.
  Pushing and believing crazy conspiracy theories. 
  Supporting and defending insurrection.
  Downplaying any concerins of insurrection and espionage.
  Pushing religuous doctrine.
  Openly supporting racism.
  Pushing for and openly trying to support Russia and pushing any policy that would do so.
  Thats just the beginning. >
  
  I think this title could use a little work…. >
  
  A rare truth >
  
  They have done that to themselves. >
  
  Newt is rolling over in his grave…before getting up in the morning. >
  
  Mitch found his spine now that Trump is irrelevant. 
  Mitch McConnell was nasty traitor way backwhen he intentionally sabotaging the nation’s economy for the purpose of making Obama a “one term president” >
  
  Well Mitch, I think you have some culpability here as well. Didn't you like back him for the longest of times? >
  
  They are nasty and chaotic. It's not an illusion. >
  
  Uhm, because Republican politicians ARE nasty and chaotic! [And also racist, anti-education, anti-equal rights, anti women, .. the list goes and on…) >
  
  See them for what they are* >
  
  And what was he wrong about? >
  
  They're not? >
  
  Nasty has been for several decades now but I’ll agree with chaotic. At least the older school republicans seemed to have some over arching evil plot. Trump just turned them from lawful evil to chaotic evil. >
  
  No Mitch,
  You all falling in line behind him is what makes us think that way >
  
  Nah we knew that long ago. I think during the Clinton Administration was when I figured that out. What Trump showed us is how craven they are. They have no beliefs at all except to lust for the appearance of power. And I say appearance because to get there they have to surrender the actual power to their orange god. >
  
  It's funny that they keep saying the quiet parts out expecting people not to notice. >
  
  You mean they were judged merely on the person they decided to represent them and their ideologies to the world? >
  
  Has Mitch forgotten how he cheated twice to get two Supreme Court justices chosen by Republicans?  I haven't.
  It is cheating when you have the power to change or make rules and you change or make them to benefit your side.  Every child knows this, even Republican children. >
  
  Not think, we watch it every day.  Marjorie, Lauren, Matt, Josh, Ted... all nuts in a bag. >
  
  He didn't make voters think that, he just tore the very thin veneer of respectability that your average uninformed voter still believed the party had. Mitch is pissy that the GOP has been outed, not to mention his personal power plus his influence within the party is now slipping and in danger of being lost.
  Man needs to retire. >
  
  They are both >
  
  Boat sailed on that shit decades ago you old sack of cum with eyes. >
  
  A real leopards ate my face moment here.
  He had the ability and multiple opportunities to stand up to trump.. but DIDN'T. >
  
  Because all of you are Mitch >
  
  Republicans are nasty and chaotic.  All Trump did was expose them for who they truly are. >
  
  …which is incorrect. They are misogynistic, selfish, lying, evil, racist bastards. But not nasty. >
  
  Yet he doesn't denounce any of the wackos... >
  
  I've been thinking that since the 90's. >
  
  Mitch really looks like a turtle here. >
  
  Trump made it acceptable to be unapologetic in how nasty, sexist and racist the Republican party already was. Only difference was, they were just smart enough to hide it (arguably not very well) behind disguised language so they could claim otherwise. Then comes along Trump saying he grabs women by the pussy, mocking the disabled, calling black countries 'shit-holes' and a laundry list of other things and suddenly all those horrible people are no longer hiding what they say anymore. Now all these vile, racist, sexist people are claiming they have been hard done by Trump. No, he was just stupid enough you willingly stripped off that veneer of civility. >
  
  Says the decaying turtle worm >
  
  Trump only magnified the obvious. And the odious. >
  
  I looked up and saw that the leopards weren't just eating the men's faces. But the women's faces and the kid's faces too. >
  
  “Made”!?? >
  
  Republicans are nasty people! The fact that McConnell is saying anything is a pussy move!!! Voting against anything democrats present in the house, even if you believe in it, is garbage!!! >
  
  Support the middle class and drop the white-supremacy and culture-war BS and then we can talk. >
  
  Coming from a guy they call Moscow Mitch... >
  
  I wouldn't say "think", I would more say "realize" >
  
  If the shoe fits… >
  
  I’d agree if I didn’t think they were also amoral garbage humans. >
  
  And? >
  
  Well, they are >
  
  No. The fact that they love Trump makes me think that. >
  
  Is this r/leapordsatemyface material? >
  
  Noooo…he didn’t make us think that. He just brought it to the fore, ripped off the rotting exterior of your party and showed you all for who you are. >
  
  We already knew that Republicans are Nasty and Chaotic. >
  
  Republicans are nasty and chaotic, obsessed with conspiracy theories and lies. >
  
  For 6 years, going on 7, McConnell did EVERYTHING he could to support Trump, while occasionally mouthing some insipid concern. McConnell made Trump viable. He belongs in hell, with a common eating area with Trump. >
  
  They are. >
  
  Nah I think he just brought everything out in the open, because Repubs are nothing but nasty and chaotic. Just look at McConnell, he's a nasty POS. >
  
  Yeah, I used to think … well, my grandpa was a Republican so it’s not like there aren’t a few good ones. 
  But after trump I realize being GOP is kinda like you sold your soul to the devil for this or that. And the devil usually has the last laugh.
  So, no, I do think GOPs are nasty and chaotic. They’re all in hock to some power addiction and can’t be trusted with anything. >
  
  Funny that >
  
  Almost like they literally are >
  
  Mitch McConnell also made them think that. >
  
  Ummm. Mitch. You did that yourself buddy. >
  
  Fuck you Mitch! You helped to create this monster by not injecting common sense when you had the chance. You rode the wave just like every other Republican for your own personal gain. >
  
  I have always thought republicans were nasty, but chaotic was not a description that I would have used.  Nasty, cruel, inhumane, hateful. spiteful, methodical, malicious, manipulative,  terroristic, and unrepentant.  Donald Trump was all of the above and worse.  He would be chaotic. >
  
  Trump is not done. He will not be done until he destroys the Republican Party, either by spilling beans all over the place, or by sparking the creation of a third party, which will split the GOP vote. >
  
  Not all on his own he didn’t >
  
  Yes Trump did, but after the election and the events of January 6th a mistake was make by normal Republicans , to allow a wounded elephant in the room ,  escape. >
  
  Holy shit, I guess he did at least one thing right. >
  
  McConnell prefers nasty and organized. >
  
  Republicans did not have to embrace trump nor reward him for being nasty and chaotic. Get fucked GOP liars, crooks, and traitors, i can’t ever see myself voting for one of you absolute scumbags ever again. >
  
  Because all Republicans are exactly just that, Mitch you b*tch. Every. Last. One. Is a nasty traitor. >
  
  Aw c’mon Mitch. Give yourself at least some credit. You did your part! >
  
  I thought Mitch McConnel was nasty long before DT came on the scene. >
  
  You don't say, the party that nervously declined or couldn't bring itself to write a party platform in 2016 is nasty and chaotic?
  You don't say >
  
  Nope.  People decided that on their own. >
  
  That's funny, I thought Barry Goldwater was the one who started that, after the Dem leadership started turning there back on racism. >
  
  No.  We’ve known that for years. >
  
  These two should just have a nice tight hug… and jump off a cliff together >
  
  More projection here. Republicans were and still are nasty, chaotic, and more: narcissistic, hate filled, racist, bigoted, selfish, self serving, anti freedom, nosy, intrusive on our privacy, corporate servants, pro-pedo, and all around anti American. McDickface can go to hell, he and republicans embraced and own Trump and his lunatic fringe fool sheep supporters. >
  
  Meaning he exposed their vileness >
  
  Didn't they prove that themselves? 
  And aren't they still? >
  
  This photo of a skin suit and an Oompah Loompa is all I can take on a Friday >
  
  “Yeah, he made us seem like Chaotic Evil, when we’re clearly Lawful Evil, maybe Neutral Evil.” >
  
  “You have done that yourself!” >
  
  Know what would have helped voters NOT thinking republicans are nasty and chaotic?  Voting to impeach the SOB when he incited an insurrection…just saying >
  
  Their platform is chaos and nastiness …. >
  
  Well obviously the side that calls for the hanging of Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and Fauci is both smart and rational. No where near as bad as those liberals possessed by demon cause magic is real of course lmfaoooo >
  
  Similar to Donald Trump, Mootch Mookonnell is also a terrible human being. >
  
  Yeah but you too Mitch >
  
  McConnell politicized SCOTUS -- he is nasty. >
  
  Maybe work across the isle once in a while or not be such an asshole would work to improve that image >
  
  He almost showed signs of introspection - but then he put all the blame on Trump.  Republicans have been “nasty” and “chaotic” for a long time.  Making it seem like they had no policies to tell their constituents about because Trump was being so nasty is just a weak cop out.
  Their entire platform is built around stripping people from the rights, dehumanizing people of color and the LGBTQ community, cheating, and giving billionaires more money - no substantive policies.  Trump was an inevitable outcome for their party because he is that platform personified.  Greed, hate, deliberate ignorance, and no morals whatsoever.
  Mitch, you lost because your party is poison to democracy.  Trump is your creation.  Now you are stuck with him. >
  
  No, Franklin, Republicans were doing that just fine on their own. Remember how you guys acted when a black man dared to be elected to the Oval Office? Trump put his foot on the gas, but you were already speeding away from common decency without his help. >
  
  The word you're looking for, Mitch, is "revealed". >
  
  McConnell sees the writing on the wall. It is written in 57 different varieties. He can't rewrite it or change it. The Republican party of his own making got away from him. Whichever way Republicans go is a dead end. Merry Christmas everyone >
  
  Literally incapable of self reflection. >
  
  Republicans are disgusting and idiotic >
  
  “We will make sure Barack Obama is a one term President.” - Mitch McConnell >
  
  Me to McConnell (best Ewan McGregor impression from RotS): “You have done that yourself!” >
  
  "They're mistaken if they think we're Chaotic Evil! We're Lawful Evil all the way, baby!" >
  
  Instead of being nasty and chaotic, Mitch McConnell is nasty and calculated. >
  
  I guess he told the truth for once. >
  
  
  Trump Made Voters Think Republicans 'Nasty,' Chaotic, Mitch McConnell Says
  
  Republicans' support for Trump showed voters they were right. >
  
  The Republican Party is lost in its own propaganda right now. >
  
  Yep. 
  Sincerely, a voter. >
  
  Young people are realizing that the Republican Racist Party are hateful mean nasty old white ignorant and uneducated … >
  
  With ample evidence, we transcend from think to fact >
  
  LOL - this is by biggest laugh of the day.
  Mitch may not be 'chaotic' but he is nasty as hell and a sociopath -  I treasure the video clip of the  capital police who refused to shake his hand when awarded a medal for heroism. >
  
  No, he just made 81 million people look at their neighbors and realize there isn’t any kind of mutual disagreement or anything surmountable like that; they’re just evil. And have always been that way. 
  That’s the only good thing he did: he pulled the wool off of America’s eyes and put a mirror to our face and showed us what we are. At least right now. >
  
  Nah, republicans did that themselves 😃 >
  
  “Trump exposed a lot of us for who we really are.” - FTFMitch >
  
  They bowed down to that a$$clown so they are all wrong, dangerous and criminal. >
  
  I agree with you all on mitch. Hes just a rino. Most of the politicians are out for their own financial gain. They dont care about us and our families. And id say, the way this platform acts. Neither do you. Do you care if your grandchildren can find work? Its not looking good for them as these politicians have sold to the highest bidder. Including the current president and pelosi and friends. They all have. While you fight against trump, they stealing your kids future. Trump is over. But they still using him as a distraction. >
  
  He exposed the truth in other words >
  
  That’s because Trump Republicans are that way. He didn’t make these people, he gave them a voice. >
  
  No. He only solidified the reality that Republicans will reject democracy in a heartbeat particularly if it means they can have leaders that allow them to express their racist and hateful inner beliefs. >
  
  That’s what happens when you invite in the wolf and make it comfortable for everybody to take off their masks. >
  
  Mitch my man - You cornered unscrupulous tho. >
  
  exposed their true colors for all to see >
  
  Trump just pulled the curtain back and proved that Republicans are nasty and chaotic.
  The GOP, at least since Reagan, has lain the fascist foundation that made Trump inevitable.
  None of this has been just a happy conservative accident, and McConnell has been the force behind much of it.  I look forward to the day he passes and his grave becomes the nation's preeminent unisex bathroom. >
  
  Republicans made me think they were nasty and chaotic by acting that way along with being traitorous seditious sacks of shit. >
  
  No Mitch, you've proved to us a very long time before Trump came onto the scene. >
  
  And Mitch, you enabled him. >
  
  Yes, mother fucker, we did take note. >
  
  Nah Mitch you help start that all on your own. Frog reaper >
  
  Sure, but does anyone remember the Bush era? Republicans have been insane for the entirety of most of our lifetimes. This didn't start with Trump, won't end with him, and efforts to divorce Trump from Republicanism are efforts to legitimize the far-right effort of the party. >
  
  It’s not just trump. I wouldn’t consider voting for a Republican until Gaetz, Greene, Boebert, Jordan, Gohmert, and the rest of those crazies are gone >
  
  Mitch, bubby, Republicans made people think that Republicans are nasty. Cuz ya nasty. >
  
  They are >
  
  I mean, they’re acting all nasty and chaotic.  It’s not like Trump was marching around like a psycho alone this whole time. >
  
  “…that’s my job.” 
  -Mitch >
  
  because that’s what they fucking are >
  
  What are you? Their driver's licenses? >
  
  And the nasty ones hate Mitch.
  Couldn't happen to a more deserving person imho.  Democrats hate him, and a large chunk of Republicans hate him. Probably thought his legacy among Republicans was safe after his career of saying no to absolutely anything and everything Obama was ever in favor of, including times when Obama was in favor of things Mitch was previously in favor of. >
  
  What actually happened: Reagan opened this door slightly.  Newt Gingrich opened it a little more.  McConnell took the door off of the hinges entirely, which allowed for even someone with as big of a head as Trump to leisurely stroll through. 
  Trump was an inevitability based on the 40 year trajectory of this country.  What we really need to be concerned about is what comes next. >
  
  Mitch complaining that republicans have suddenly appeared as chaotic and mean?  Mitch who has the humanness and warmth of an earthworm?  Are these people created in a lab devoid of human interaction? >
  
  I told my dad conservative is a bad word now and he should stop using it. >
  
  I do not think Republicans are nasty and chaotic.  I think they are violent murderous fascists. >
  
  Yes. >
  
  Is chaotic nasty the same as chaotic evil. Like, are we in a giant game of DND? >
  
  Holy crap those 2 images side by side make me want to bleach my eyes >
  
  Mitch did a good enough job doing that himself. >
  
  Dear Mitch . . . YOU HELPED!   Still glad you didn’t impeach the motherf—er? >
  
  Mitch is just playing politics again. >
  
  Trump made people think the Republican leaders are spineless and weak  against Trump and their crazies QAnon and Maga believers. >
  
  McConnell, takes one to really know one. He is definitely included in the disgusting bunch. >
  
  "He sad the fucking quiet part out loud and now everyone knows about it! Bastard!" - Mitch McConnell >
  
  I loathe McConnell’s values (such as they are), but when you’re right, you’re right. >
  
  Republicans made voters think Republicans are nasty and wicked. Luckily Democrats made voters think Democrats are not ideal and those are equivalent so it's moot and doesn't matter >
  
  Yes, they are. >
  
  Right... Trump did that... >
  
  Got that impression from McConnell's own hypocrite behavior already. >
  
  Republicans are the wealthy few that control the ignorant and prejudiced many through propaganda. They let the baffoon take the wheel to stay in the race and let him self destruct as expected. The leaders just want the cleanup to be a quick and clean affair. >
  
  Y’all are. >
  
  McConnell and other Repugs were nasty and chaotic, supporting Trump no matter what. McConnell is a spineless weasel that sells out to whomever he thinks has the most power. What an absolute waste of a human being. >
  
  Uh. Because they are when they support the likes of MTG, Lauren Boebert or however you spell her name. Mitchy ain’t free from blame either. They’re all trying to save face and ditch racist trump because now he’s “toxic” for the party. News Flash, the GOP has been toxic since Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy. There’s no redeeming qualities, period! They talk of identity politics, when their entire schtick has been convincing poor white people that their problems are the black and brown folk, when in all honesty we’re all in the same boat. And this battle isn’t so much about race as it is about class. >
  
  Oh, don’t sell yourself short Mitch. You got there first >
  
  Yeah, it’s almost like tons of us said that during his first run-up and were laughed at by the people who became obviously trashy when his presidency went exactly as expected. >
  
  Trump made someone believe the truth?
  Holy crap. >
  
  He's not wrong. They used to do their racism and evil quietly, behind closed doors, or with sort of a winking, self-satisfied smirk. Trump removed the hinges and blew the doors off for everyone to see. As Chandler Bing put it: "Can: open. Worms: everywhere." >
  
  All Trump did was say the quiet part out loud, most Republicans agreed with what he says 100% long before he ever ran for president >
  
  Pot calling the kettle ‘black’, no? >

  No no. You did a lot of that work as well >
