I wish I could say I was surprised, but Matt Bevin has been a deplorable piece of shit for a while now. The whole Republican Party is and has been a corrupt joke for years, with every passing day making it less and less a political organization and more and more a mafia full of lunatics and psychopaths who are perfectly happy to watch the world and everyone in it burn as long as they get their gilded disaster shelters, first.
It must be harder for you, who has identified with the party for so long, to see and recognize exactly what this means about the thing you’ve believed and supported for so long. In a lot of ways, many of us had it easier in never buying into their hype, so this sort of thing isn’t disappointing or shattering to our long held world view. It’s like the difference between someone who has never believed in God and someone who comes to disbelief after a lifetime of the special happiness faith can bring.
For whatever it’s worth, welcome to the ‘resistance’.
