GOP Environment of Fear

Remember back in the '80s and that TV movie "The Day After?"

I was scared sh*tless back then when Ronald Reagan warns us we a in a nuclear threat. And that "Star Wars" program.

I can't believe that even today the GOP wants to put fear in us to obtain their greedy political ambitions.

What do you think?

2. Fear is the tool of despots

fearful people can be manipulated to give up their rights and do things that are against their own best interests. That's why fear has always been used by despots and dictators.
