(492 posts)It should be headlined with your subject line: History of the Republican Party in 3 Buttons". And I'd suggest a caption beneath the buttons large enough for passers by to read:
"Wrong in '35; wrong in '68; still wrong after all these years."
(Republicans really have been off track and out of touch forever, haven't they?)

(813 posts)They have used it to beat down many, many things over the decades, but of course the worst one is health care.
And the most ignorant of our society - those who truly do not know what "socialism" means - have bought into it, the upshot being that the Dittoheads, Foxbots, etc. now equate any sort of social welfare effort with Stalin, Lenin, Marx and whoever else they can think of.
I remember seeing a bumper sticker during the Clinton Presidency with the words "Clinton Change" in gold on red, with the "C's" replaced with hammer and sickles.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
