(2,682 posts)I'm a senior living on Social Security -- Republicans want to reduce and ultimately eliminate Social Security
I have health issues and but for Medicare would have been dead or bankrupt two years ago. They want to eliminate Medicare
I'm a senior and have been registered to vote for many years. Republicans would prefer that I not be able to vote and pass laws to see that it becomes more difficult to do so
And it's not just me -- Republicans also want to curtail the civil rights of people of color, the poor, other seniors.
On the world platform, Republicans do not hesitate to use lethal force as a solution to all problems. They do not understand the wisdom and necessity for negotiated settlements of conflicts. (no money to be made in negotiated settlements, donchano)
Republicans are all about making money, regardless of the environmental effects of doing so.
Republicans are all about making money, regardless of the rights and needs of workers.
Nope, can't think of any reason to consider them anything other than the enemy.
