The White House Red Room 2022

Christmas, even for non-Christians, is a time of joy, peace, giving and caring. Caring for friends and family and providing a little cheer to strangers less fortunate than us.

Not so it seems for Republicans and their leaders, for whom cruelty towards others outside their clan overrides anything their “God” might have prescribed. This is what TX Gov Greg Abbott did during these holidays, trying to outdo his twin ghoul-mate in FL — drop busloads of migrants after dark in 15F temperatures outside VP Kamala Harris’s house in DC. Gov — have you no soul?

Yes, Republikans cannot cut down on the cruelty, not even on Christmas Eve. OTOH, this is nothing new or unexpected. They have been doing this all year. Dehumanization of immigrants and minorities is a way to control the empty and fear-ridden minds of the base. The Bible is just another weapon in their war on humanity.

x Worthless @GovAbbott dropping off people with no money and no means on Christmas Eve in 15 degree weather near the VP’s residence. How Christian of you, Greg Abbott. Being a heartless POS isn’t going to make you the next Republican President. https://t.co/AM0xrUGLvo — Joaquin Castro (@JoaquinCastrotx) December 25, 2022

FYI — the unfortunate victims of Abbott’s cruel stunt were taken care of by DC organizations. DC govt has also been helping. From www.cnn.com/… —

They (the migrants) were given blankets and put on another bus that went to a local church. Amy Fischer, a volunteer with the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, which has been receiving migrants sent to DC since the spring, said her organization was prepared for Saturday night’s arrivals. Busloads of migrants have been arriving in Washington weekly since April. This is how Democrats celebrate the holidays —

Republicans cannot even bring themselves to the simple act of sending a message of joy and peace to everyone on Earth.

The White House holiday decorations also reflect the inner thinking of Republicans vs Democrats.

There is a positive and inspiring message in every decoration in a Democratic White House -

This is how this White House celebrates the holiday season.

The purpose of this diary is not to generate anger or outrage on our part; we get enough of that every day from the shenanigans of Republicans. It is to encourage all of us to share this info and the underlying truth with friends outside our circle, so that it can change a few minds along the way to the 2024 elections. Democracy depends on it.
