One appropriate definition of parasite is, “applies to one who clings to a person of wealth, power, or influence or is useless to society.” Trump sycophants are those politicians who follow him into his depravity, defending his crimes, trying to save their own careers.
Sadly, this is the Republican Party we face today. The simple reality is the only way decent people will win the culture wars we are fighting in the United States today, is to vote every Republican out of office.
To do that we need to explain to people the realities of our system of government. Teach them which decisions are made at the congressional, or presidential level, and which at the state and local level.
Explain how every vote counts including those for school board, county council, state legislature, and governor. When you look at Florida, it becomes clear how dangerous state government can be to LGBTQ people, women, and all minorities.
