Four thoughts about the GOP

[Dirty Socialist]

1. One of my ex-Republican friends was friends with a prominent GOP campaign director. He found out the campaign director’s views are “almost nazi”. My friend is no longer friends with the GOP official and is now a Democrat.

2. A writer recently wanted to write a book about the political parties. She wanted to know what motivated the politicians. The Democrats answered their motivation was to get elected. Not great, but there you have it. She then asked the Republicans. Their answer was “to move America as far to the right as possible”. She asked them if that was really the case. Their answer: “write it down!”

3. My right wing brother says “we are nothing if it wasn’t for the rich” and called me a Marxist for pointing out that the top 3 billionaires have as much wealth as the poorest 160 million Americans and he said the poor deserve their fate. P.S.: he is on Social Security, which he favors cuts in.

4. Trump recently phoned the far right European far right convention, telling them they are “doing a great job”.

1. Tell your brother a country is judged by the prosperity of their lowest class not their rich people

Almost every country has some people that are fabulously wealthy. Maybe he doesn’t believe in We the People

2. Also from my brother

He said he would be ruled by a ruthless dictator than by “the bunch of idiots” in the Democratic Party.

3. About #2

I have worked with multiple campaigns through the years, both D and R and without fail the first question asked of me has been:

D - how will this help my constituents?

R - how will this help me?

I think that sums up the difference between the parties in one paragraph.

4. Cynical and selfish

Many GOPpers have a cynical view of doing good. Scary

5. Repubs equal "me".....Dems equal "we"
