(81,110 posts)I've been calling them that for years. 'Cuz that's what they were - and STILL are.
They've been building toward this "conquest" for at least 40 years. Abolishing the Fairness Doctrine, Equal Time provisions, the ownership restrictions (enabling huge monopolies to form, unrestrained). Pox Noise - which has now metastasized into the ridiculous "One America News Network" (OAN), AND the Sinclair stations, AND the Salem stations - both entities with their own dreams of market domination from the right and far right and even farther right.
And, on edit, don't forget the rise of Limbaugh and hate radio across the country, once the way had been clear to build those new media monopolies that could control 1,500 or more stations from coast to coast, especially booming into small markets and rural areas, to spread and reinforce and echo-chamber their Gospel from Hell.
republi-CONS. They DON'T want to help you.
For those with ANY remaining doubt, how else would one explain the raging obsession to destroy the Affordable Care Act? "Let's get rid of that and THEN come up with Something Better!" And you know what that's about, right? Destroy it - WITH NO PLAN WHATSOEVER FOR A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM - and then get deep into bickering about a "replacement" that nobody on their side really wants or believes in, to begin with, so it's guaranteed they won't come up with anything that even remotely satisfies what the objectives of the Affordable Care Act were. BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU. THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP ANYBODY WHO'S NOT ONE OF THEM. And they'll just tell their minions they're "working on it" and simply go back to trying to cut more taxes for those poor put-upon multi-millionaires and billionaires. And NOTHING will be "worked on" that's aimed at helping anyone other than multi-millionaires and billionaires. The poor, needy, sick, and disabled can simply go pound sand.
Republicans. THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU. THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU. AND THEY DON'T SEE WHY THEY SHOULD HAVE TO.
RESIST. And VOTE THEM OUT! Every. Last. Fucking. One. Of 'Em.
VOTE, DAMMIT!
And Yes, I'm SHOUTING!
