I Can Think of Nothing More Republican Than Murdering a Puppy Because it Misbehaves
Then, they double down and act like this is an example of their dutifulness
Did you hear this story about the Republican who murdered her puppy and then bragged about it in her book?
The thing is, I grew up with people like this, and this story is so emblematic of how they think. These are people who get themselves all worked up to do something absolutely horrific, and they use it to justify a delusional self-image of greatness.
They say things like, “Well son, I had to beat you to a pulp because it was for your own good. But now you’ll grow up to be a good person and you’ll thank me. This will hurt me more than it will hurt you.”
Bullshit.
That whole thought process is completely disconnected from reality. When parents beat up and abuse their children, it derails the child’s life forever. Make no mistake about it, I have ZERO respect for any adult who raises his or her hand against a child. Beating your kids is the act of an incompetent, useless, bully.
They say, “There’s a difference between a spanking and abuse.”
No, there’s not. At some point our society is going to have to recognize that you can’t solve any problems with violence. Violence only makes things worse.
Beating a kid is physical abuse. Murdering a child’s puppy is emotional abuse.
I’ve read a couple stories of this Republican puppy murder and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. The worst part is when the Republican’s child comes home from school and asks about the dog. “Hi mom, where’s my dog?”
“Oh, I murdered it today because it was behaving exactly as is normal for a puppy to behave. I took it out to the gravel pit and shot it in the cute little face because it kept wanting to play with me. Now, you have to sit and listen to a lecture about how this traumatic event is the ‘right’ thing, and we should impose this attitude upon everyone in this country.”
This story is flat out sadistic.
The other thing that makes me angry is the next step in the process. Now that this is a “controversy” all the loathsome right wing fascism propagandists are going to go on television and radio and force themselves onto college campuses and lecture us all about how it’s “right” for a repugnant Republican sadist to murder a puppy with probably a high powered assault rifle.
Give. Me. A. Break!
And at NO point does any major media outlet publish or promote a reasonable counter opinion. I guarantee you’ll not see ONE person come on any news station with a 14 month old puppy and talk about how a competent, reasonable, person can train an animal that’s nothing more than an innocent bundle of love.
Republicans just want to kill it and they want a pat on the back for doing so.
This is deranged and sick. I really do not want my children exposed to this attitude.
The Republican complains about how the puppy managed to kill some chickens as if that justifies her. My thought was, “Why was the puppy free to run around? They have things in stores called leashes. Put your puppy on a leash so it can’t kill chickens.”
That’s the reasonable response. Not, “Take the puppy to the gravel pit and murder it.”
Come on!
We have a RIGHT to live in a society where we gather up people who murder puppies and subject them to counseling. What we SHOULDN’T do is elect them to offices of power.
These people are INCOMPETENT.
These people are CRUEL.
These people shouldn’t have access to HIGH POWERED WEAPONS.
At this point, America deserves to hear “the other side of the story.” We can’t hear the puppy’s story because he’s dead. But we could hear the opinion of the Republican’s daughter who had to come home from a hard day at school to find that her mom had murdered her dog.
Let’s hear what SHE has to say.
But somehow all we ever get on American media is self-righteous, abusive, violent Republicans who get to talk and talk and talk and justify how their horrific behavior is somehow what “God” wants or some other nonsense.
Justice for the puppy!
Vote out all of the psychotic, sadistic Republicans.
"... daughter who had to come home from a hard day at school to find that her mom had murdered her dog. ... Let’s hear what SHE has to say...."
Walter, you know what she has to say ... nothing. You ask a kid of a parent like that what reaction she has when her parent kills a pet and I can almost guarantee what the response will be - she will turn to look at you with a blank stare - dead eyes that reflect how dead she feels inside. She can't feel because to do so exposes her to a long, long history of that kind of psychopathology filling up every corner of her life. It existed when she was a baby and pre-speech (and as a result often doesn't even have the words for the feelings she has) right through her formative years, as she carefully, carefully stepped around each potential mistake she might make so as not to anger that parent, not to make herself the target.
And then, to make things worse, she's not even going to be able to hide behind anonymity - to live in a state where people won't come up to her and ask those kind of questions. By state I mean a condition of being, not an area surrounded by borders. Because, on top of everything else going on in her young life, her mother is "important" enough to be "followed," physically by news media and digitally by social media. That makes her daughter a target of those same types of media. This poor kid is not safe at home and she's not safe when she ventures out into the larger world.
So, I'm hoping, but not counting on the kindness of others to do what is right. Leave her alone, don't ask her anything; just let her be. Please! Anyone who reads this, let her grow up. Some day she will have to deal with all this crap - hopefully with a supportive and loving partner, wonderful friends and, likely, with the help of a good therapist.
The cruelty is always the point. And when they think women should die for a fetus, of course they think their dog should die because they fucked up and didn't train it properly. Republicans are depraved and they are wired differently than those that vote on the left. It's time the media/independent media start highlighting that even more.
Women are being maimed because of their abortion bans. Children are getting their bodies obliterated by guns in school. Dogs are being shot and maga thinks that means YER TOUGH. Its just another day in red state hell. And they fucking love it.
Republicans are sick. They are not ok.
