Think this ad hits it pretty square on. The Republicans have given up on the idea of basic democratic principles. They've sworn allegiance to Trump and will be looking to advance the next Trump clone, perhaps more articulate and savvy. But just as dangerous. In fact, more so because Trump fans are primed for more of the same, the strongman, the authoritarian, the individual who will make promises galore with no intention of fulfilling them. But always with a scapegoat to blame for failure.

Republican silence during this grim period is a mark of complicity. They've capitulated. They've chosen a side and it's simply not with the American people or anything that approaches what the country yearns to be, a better version of itself.

Never forget, never forgive.

Any of them.

Republicans are an American Fascist party. Plain and simple. It’s not “Trumpism” — it’s Fascism! Expose the m’fers!

Have more in common with DEMS that THUGS, due to a semblance of integrity, maybe there IS hope to work together.

We STILL got a LOT of work ahead of us.


So fricken tired. Well good night DU!!

While I've identified as a Democratic Party member my entire adult life, I can readily understand the appeal of the old Republican Party, the one that actually had our country's best interests at heart. I'm not sure what I would think, what I would do if I were one of them, but I'm sure it would involve a lot of soul searching.

Democratic, Trumpist and Republican.

It will be a lot like the 1912 election.

It is now a tool for fringe extremists of a most horrid nature. The party appeals to fundamentalists of low intelligence who are easily manipulated by bumper sticker slogans and dog-whistle propaganda.

It will also fly straight above the heads of 80% of Americans who vote Republican, and who will not have a clue what the ad is talking about.
