(20,631 posts)for over 50 years. Since before the Nixon years, the GOP has used dirty tricks, subterfuge, intimidation, vote tampering, character assassination, voter suppression, and a host of other nefarious actions to interfere with the democratic process in our country. The entire lot of them should be in jail. They're the dirtiest bunch of politicians on the face of the earth.
It's no wonder they've found a kindred spirit with Vladimir Putin. He's used all of the GOP's standard methods to stay in power, plus he has the added threat of using strong-armed tactics, including murder, to achieve his dictatorial power. The GOP is drooling over itself to add those strong-armed tactics to their arsenal, and are trying to get their alt-right compatriots to be their answer to the physical intimidation practices, up to and including murder, they lack now. The GOP wants America to be Russia-west, which is why they're in bed with them at this very moment.
The GOP has shown time and again that they will do anything to gain, and keep, power in the United States. And all along the Democrats have played, 'Mr. Nice Guy', and steered clear of playing the dirty type of politics inherent to the GOP. It's PAST time to take off the gloves and start beating these bastards at their own game. We have so much to learn, and so much ground to make up though. I don't know if most Democrats have the stomach for the type of politics the GOP employs as second nature now. If we DON'T, democracy in this country is lost. We're well on our way to an authoritarian, fascist government that only the Republicans have the stomach to employ. Can we stop them? I hope so, but it doesn't look good. They have a taste for the jugular most Democrats lack.
