No Longer the Party of Lincoln or Reagan

Did one of Trump’s inner circle just admit that fascism has arrived in America? Stephen Moore is Trump’s chief economic adviser, he said the following at a meeting of Republican leadership. If this sounds similar, you have likely studied history, and the speeches of Adolf Hitler in 1939.

Just as Reagan converted the GOP into a conservative party, Trump has converted the GOP into a populist working-class party,” Moore said in an interview Wednesday. “In some ways this will be good for conservatives and in other ways possibly frustrating.”

Since election day, Trump has surrounded himself with unqualified individuals. Every one of them has multiple prejudices, and several are well-known white supremacists. On Tuesday, Trump “dressed down” members of the media, making them aware that their first amendment rights would no longer be valid in a Trump America.

Trump supporters elected a man who was not only unqualified, a white supremacist, and a sexual predator, they elected a man who opposes the nation created by our founding fathers.

I am thankful that I rejected Trump, and continue to. He is not my president, and never will be. I am a patriot, and will never accept fascist rule. Trump’s cronies are planning to take our nation back to the dark days of the 1940’s. Racism and freedoms for all Americans were challenged by the wealthiest of Americans. Fortunately, the greatest president in American history, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, fought for the working class; this will not be the situation with Trump.

Abraham Lincoln predicted the end of America: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

Trump has proven that those of us who learned about his close relationship for the last five years with Vladimir Putin has been a plan to recreate America according to the the design of the Russian president. But only the voting public could make their goals a reality. A hypocritical Republican Party supports their traitorous leader, and accepted the death of a nation on November 8th.

Only a second revolution can save the dream of Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Madison, Adams, and the others. Thanks to a large number of ignorant voters, our government has been hijacked by the worst of America. From a democracy to an oligarchy, and now a plutocracy, our government has devolved into a dictatorship. The majority has no representation in Washington. Our needs are of no interest to the buffoons who sit in the House and Senate, and now they have a president who will refuse to work for anyone but himself.
If you doubt any of my beliefs; time will tell. When a megalomaniac was given power over our nation, the handwriting was on the wall.
