Donald Trump’s illegitimate presidency has been embraced by the Republican Party. The greatest problem with this truth is that Trump hates America. Trump rejects the first amendment and supports the ideology of fascism. Trump rejects democracy and the Constitutional protections for all Americans. The fact that his Republican Party supports his beliefs displays one party’s ideal that our founding fathers were mistaken, and our nation must be re-invented in a manner which will forever change our nation’s original intent and principles. The once ‘Grand old Party’ now supports a plutocracy which will harm the majority of the American people and end democracy.

Revolutions can be somewhat benign or they can be bloody. In America we have our Constitution. As long as it exists, we can change our government. We, the people, can start petitions, demand legislation, and we can vote. I have used a statement by Abraham Lincoln many times previously, but it has more meaning today than at any other time in my life.

“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.”

Every Republican in Washington is attempting to rule the American people, not serve us. They know that Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin to win the election, but instead of protecting our nation’s future, they are attacking Special Investigator Robert Mueller in a desperate effort to protect Trump’s illegitimate presidency.

The Republican Party is our enemy, and the enemy of democracy. They are owned by the one-percent and will make every possible effort to protect their interests.

Trump is making concerted attempts to remove all democracy from America and reshape our country into a fascist state. His admiration and close relationship with Putin is no longer a secret. The two men have been communicating since the Miss Universe Pageant was taken to Moscow in 2005.

If the Republican controlled congress refuses to accept facts, we, the people can remove them from our government.

On November 6, 2018 we must remove any candidate from office who has an “R” next to his or her name.

Please re-post; thank you.
