A better mascot for the GOP

It took a very, very long time for Mitch McConnell to reluctantly admit that Trump had lost and Biden won the election. The same goes for the vast majority of the GOP members. 

As we all know the mascot chosen by the American GOP or Republican Party, is an elephant. I propose that it be replaced by a scorpion. My thinking is triggered by that famous fable attributed to Aesop, known as the scorpion and the frog; it goes like this: 

"A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature." 

My point is that when all is said and done, the GOP, just like the scorpion in that fable, is inherently malevolent and is intent do do bad, no matter what, and can’t be trusted at all cost. 

Something Biden should always remember during the next four years!
