The republican platform for the time since FDR has been one of Greed, Racism, White power and now it seems Fascism. The socialism backlask from the rich who paid there Fair Share under FDR, after America and its democratic allies thought we defeated the will for fascism, have again emerged to wreak havoc on the beauty of our country’s constitution and the world social-democratic worlds achievements.
Yea FDR did some pretty un-democratic things during that period, but damm it worked amazingly. I lived it and loved it. I believe it worked because the country saw the need for compassion, freedom of choice, education, security, and justice for all. You know that snappy little preamble in our constitution. And FDR recognized it.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of ...
Here is my Diary on some of my experiences with Racism in the mid 1960’s. www.dailykos.com/… The Nixon and Republican use of the south’s racism to divide Americans has always been obvious. Party of Lincoln-BS.
Here is another one on Greed. www.dailykos.com/… The erosion of laws to protect profits over the environment will probably kill us all now with pollution and Global warming.
The 14 warning signs of fascism is very telling. Found a awesome DK diary by AngryExGop, very nice work: www.dailykos.com/…
Now if you cant see the blatant racism, greed, authoritarian trends, total lack of compassion for the sick, the poor, the old struggling with less and less benefits, the immigrants pleading for a little help, then you are supporting the next version of Fascism.
If you dont agree with our Constitution and our fair and ever evolving Democratic system, we will see your ignorance and remind you. Republicans are becoming very disgusting in there support for the A@#-H*&^ Trump that they and Russia elected. You cant hide behind an “Independant” label if you support this crime family named Trump. 70,000 voters stayed home, and this is what we get. Packing courts to protect there crimes, Mitch McConnel is the main enabler. I am so disgusted with all of this.
So the compassionate church people, the educated, the philanthropists, the social justice liberals and progressives will once again need to step up and cleanup the ugly mess. Vote now or you may not get another chance.
To answer my title question i will just say to any Republican: When your loss of Privilege feels like Oppression-What will you do. Think about it.
Vote for humanity, not hate.
