Republicans haven’t had an honor code since Lincoln and even that is somewhat questionable.
The jury is still out on whether any of this will come back to haunt them. Depends if succeed in their fascist take over.
It’s a bareknuckle street fight now where there are no rules.
There are more Democrats that need to keep this mindset in mind because „decorum“ should have zero place in their political strategy at this pont.
What the working class wants are *firebrands* who will fight for us and stay true to their word.
Honor is a fool’s prize, glory is of no use to the dead.
They don’t have an honor code for themselves, but they certainly have one for everyone else. These are the same people that had a child rapist as the longest serving Speaker of the House but with a straight face call all Democrats pedophiles that drink children’s blood.
Lol we invaded Iraq on an obvious lie like 20 years ago. What honor.
We just had a lot of psychopaths who were much better at hiding it and much more interested in the pomp and pageantry of politics than the current breed of lazy, incompetent psycopaths.
It should. It won’t.
Trump Maxwell and Epstein raped children
“Probably”??
Honor code? Republican voters are pedophile sympathizers.
The only thing Republicans say over and over is to not allow women abortions. So that’s all they have got at this point, are the anti-abortion crowd. So letting women die because they don’t have a perfect reproduction system is okay. They also don’t care if children starve or get sick and can’t go to the doctor, that’s okay. They also don’t seem to care about pollution. They don’t like libraries or books or education. They don’t like labor rights or unions. I don’t even understand why anyone is a republican at this point.
Yeah, like 30+ years ago. It’s worked in their favor so far. 🙁
It’s times like this where I miss John McCain who had a sense of honor and decency defending Obama’s character.
It won’t. Hoping on things like that just contributes to the problem.
No, it won’t. Dems are more concerned with preserving the status quo and maintaining the old guard neo-liberal pro-business line than fighting fascism. Progressivism and people like Mamdani are more of a threat to them than fascists. That is all you need to know.
They will adjust to the new authoritarian regime before embracing progressive populist policy. Dems as a party will never be an opposition party. This is the problem.
Newsom said the Dems lost the 2024 elections because they „went too woke“. We need a real left-wing party in this country. I am not talking communist/socialist – I mean a left of center party. Dems are moderate right-wing anywhere else in the world.
Will it dough?
I’m still wandering if Americans as a whole have any honor or integrity left in them, or money and greed, crookedness and lack of morals and lack good caracter have now taken over. Where is the valour of today’s Americans? Where is the outrage at the pure fascist leadership, where are the mass protests, general strikes and non-acceptance of what’s happening nowadays in US. America as it used to be is over mainly due to lack of honour!
It fucking better.
Republican scum hasn’t had honor in a long time.
Bullseye. Exactly this. They’ve sold their souls for a few more votes.
The American people need to realize that the Republican party are the real enemy of America and they are doing everything they can do keep people as impoverished as possible so companies can continue to exploit their employees as people have no other option
Disband the Republican party, identifying as a republican should be seen the same as identifying as a Nazi
probably??? John McCain is spinning in his grave! 😡
I mean everyone knows where they are. A bomb threat was called into the hotel
Yeah, probably, right.
Where’s Kaladin when you need him?
No it won’t. The American people have proven time and time again that they don’t care. And Democrats just keep playing by the rules and losing.
Spoilers: it won’t.
No honor among pedos
Honor?
That shit hasn’t existed since Bush II campaigned on „brown people bad“.
The pendulum swings. Wait until it swings just as hard in the other direction.
Nope. Being without honor will continue to pay them dividends. They will never suffer for it in my lifetime. Never.
This administration has taken out the prestige and all of the good the presidency stood for. Grfifters, pedos, and treasonous scum.
No one believes this shit anymore, there are no consequences
‘Probably’
It probably won’t. Until it absolutely does. And then for many somehow it won’t matter anyway.
Like the old saying goes: No honor among thieves-
Can we stop posting these click bait titled articles? „It will come come back to haunt them?“ Are you serious?
Republicans gave up their „honor“ with the pedophile, racist, and misogynist Strom Thurmond. The Republican party has been a cesspool of disgusting human beings for decades. This is not new.
>“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” — Frank Wilhoit.
Their code of honor is very straight forward:
The in-group gets to make the rules – the out-groups have to follow the rules.
They demand absolute freedom – but only for themselves. They demand law and order, but only for others. And they don’t see any contradiction in their desires.
LOL. Republicans haven’t displayed any honor in half a century.
This is why I like Jasmine Crockett. The other day she gave a speech and called Trump a piece of shit pointblank.
Subtlety will get you nowhere in this era of politics.
😂 they have the House, Senate, WH also the SCOTUS. Haunting? 😂
This article is amazingly well-written, to the point that it would be a pleasure to read the whole thing aloud. Moreover, its logic is timely and incisive. Whereas the author and magazine deserve to be paid, many cannot, and the American people very much need to read this. Therefore, here is the archive link:

As far as I know, the USA is the only western nation constantly talking about ‚honour‘.
Simple rule: those who talk about it, don’t have any.
Seen from the outside, that shit is cringe worthy.
