In reply to the discussion: Rise Of The GOP Authoritarian Police State [View all]kctim
(3,575 posts)4. Yep
People didn't believe the campaign warnings saying the GOP would outlaw abortion, and now abortion is illegal. They didn't believe the warnings that the GOP would kill social security, and now we no longer have this great safety net. They didn't believe the GOP would change our country into a theocracy, but now we are forced to pray every morning, noon and night.
With such a great record of dire warnings, maybe now the people will believe that a "theocratic corporate police state" is coming if they vote for the GOP.
Sigh. We are going to have control of all three branches come this time next year. We don't need fearful propaganda scare tactics to do that.
