Right wing extremists displayed themselves in their full, foul plumage during the CNN Trump "Town Hall" where The Former Guy spewed his fire hose of lies, vitriol, and threats to the applause, laughter, and amusement of the adoring MAGA cult "audience".
What has happened to the Republican Party that I was once part of?
- They violate the Constitution by claiming to defend the Constitution - for example:
- This was the only presidency that tried to violently overthrow a presidential election
- The Former Guy stole classified military and espionage secrets with a likely aim of selling them to hostile foreign powers
- They do all they can to limit the voting of blacks, browns, reds, yellows, the young
- They violate Christ's teachings and life by claiming to be Christians - for example:
- They openly and proudly proclaim their bigotries:
- against blacks, browns, yellows, and reds
- against gays and transgenders
- against women's right to empower their own lives with reproductive choices
- By choosing threats, guns, and violence in total repudiation of The Sermon on the Mount
- They violate the law and celebrate the lawless while claiming to be the "Law and Order Party"
- They assaulted the police on January 6, 2020 and praise those violent thugs sent to prison
- They worship the Former Guy and his multiple financial corruptions
- They worship the Former Guy and his multiple sexual assaults on women
- They send armed, threatening MAGA cultists to voting locations to intimidate liberal voters
- They violate the environment and the balance and health of nature, for example:
- Are dedicated to reducing environmental regulations on manufacturing and mining discharges
- Are dedicated to reducing environmental regulations on air pollution
- Are dedicated to reducing environmental regulations protecting species extinctions
- Are dedicated to promoting fossil fuels and impeding green energies
- Are dedicated to promoting giant chemical farming practices which, when abused, despoil the soil and reduce nutrition and sustainability
- They violate democracy claiming democracy isn't as important as forcing the country to do what they demand. For example:
- The Former Guy tried to violently overthrow a presidential election
- An Arizona governor candidate still refuses to concede her loss
- Election deniers after election deniers are nominated and sometimes elected by them
- They do all they can to limit the votes of blacks, browns, reds, yellows, and the young
- The violate personal freedoms and claim to be the Party of Freedom
- No freedom for women and couples to control their reproductive lives
- No freedom to live a harassment free life if you are gay
- No freedom to live a harassment free life if you are transexual
- No freedom to read books that the extremist fanatics disapprove of
- No freedom to teach about the history and presence of racism in America
- No freedom to teach about gays
- No freedom to teach about the atrocities of slavery
- No freedom to teach about the atrocities of Jim Crow
- No freedom to ---- more to come I am sure, just give them more time.
This is just a half hour top of the head listing of the violations of the Right Wing Extremists.
You could say they are hypocritical, but that is too kind. I think they are just corrupt and righteous tyrants with a good enough propaganda system that they fool enough people so that they can get away with it. For a short time, anyhow.
Their time will be over, and goodness truth and beauty will prevail.
This is America, not the Confederacy, not Russia.
