Evil: (Psychology Today) *
‘Evil’ people are those who are unable to empathize with others. As a result, their own needs and desires are of paramount importance. They are selfish, self-absorbed and narcissistic. In fact, other people only have value for them to the extent that they can help them satisfy their own desires, or to which they can exploit them. This applies to dictators like Stalin and Hitler, and to serial killers and rapists. I would argue that their primary characteristic is an inability to empathize with others. They can’t sense other people’s emotions or their suffering, can’t see the world from other people’s perspective, and so have no sense of their rights. Other human beings are just objects to them, which is what makes their brutality and cruelty possible.

GOP actions/attempted actions:
- Kill healthcare for millions of Americans, which will kill Americans and lead to great suffering for many to give money to millionaires, billionaires, corporations, and their selves.
- Penalizing blue states for having competent governance to give to incompetent red states.
- Eventually raise taxes on those who can least afford to have their taxes raised.
- Cut services and increase fees on those who can least afford it.
- Colluded/Conspired with Russia to undermine U.S. elections, and continue to do so.
- Subverting our democracy by suppressing democratic voices, during elections, and within congress.
- Planting people within government like targeted cancer to erode and undermine every branch/office they touch. Incompetence is their goal. They do want to drown it in a bath tub.
- Working to end Social Security Insurance and Medicare. They want people to die in the streets so they can pay a dime less in taxes; no, they haven’t said that, but it was why SSI was created and they don’t get to plead ignorance, IMHO.
- Never hesitating to work to undermine Democratic (as in the party) governance through deceit and propaganda.
- Support for extreme hate groups, while suppressing the rights and voices of groups seeking equality.
- Working with foreign countries to further subvert our democracy, such as Iran/Contra and sending a letter contravening the President of the United States in an effort to undermine the executive branch when under Democratic control; see the U.S.-Iranian nuclear deal.
Matthew 25:45 "Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.”
Matthew 7:16 “You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?”
I only add those, as they, the Republicans, love to claim they’re a Christian party, whereas I don’t see them as anything of the sort.
I know there is a hell of a lot more all of you can add to this list, but it really is time to call the Republican’s agenda and who they are through their actions out for what it and they are; evil.
I would also like to note that the media hasn’t offered a mea culpa for allowing these monsters, especially President Trump, to come to power.
