The modern Republican Party—for decades a diverse, rational,
pro-business / low taxes / economic growth / capitalism and anti-communist loyal
opposition minority party—has in recent decades, starting with Reagan in the
1980s, become the Party of (mostly older male) Whites, the Filthy Rich, Corporate
America, White Evangelical ‘Christians’ and other Culture warriors, and
disaffected working-class people duped into voting against their economic self-interest.
Under Trump, Republicans have become not just the lackeys of the Filthy Rich
and Corporate America, but also the Party of racist and xenophobic fearful,
hateful, willfully ignorant and easily exploited low-education “Middle America”
rural voters, but also the Alt-Right, Religious Right and Far Right. It is now
the opportunist and morally bankrupt Party that refuses to
stand up to Trump, a misogynistic treasonous
lunatic demagogue, even as he attacks vital American institutions—like our Intelligence
Community and FBI, the Free Press, and anyone or anything that stands in his
way, NATO and our decades-long Western allies. A mental and emotional cripple
who displays outrageous behavior that violates all standards of presidential behavior
or even human decency and sucks up to despots like North Korea’s Kim Jong-un
and Putin, leader of Russia, a dangerous adversary.
Trump envies despots and has a toddler’s fascination with
authoritarian “strong men” and the military. He is a reckless emotional and
mental cripple incapable of leading our Nation. He continues to divide America,
feeding his lunatic minority Trump Cult
base, in a desperate attempt to cling to power.
