Don’t be fooled by anyone who professes that ideologies dominate American politics today. The United States is a capitalistic society and money rules every action taken by our dysfunctional government and both political parties.

A perfect example is Trump’s failing 2016 campaign. Until billionaire Robert Mercer brought his money; paid spin doctor Kellyanne Conway; and white nationalist Steve Bannon who rescued Trump’s failing campaign staff, controlling Trump’s rants and irrational rhetoric, he was destined for defeat.

Lobbies such as the NRA, the Christian religious right, and the Petroleum industry funnelled tens of millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign fearing that Hillary Clinton would support our environment and our nation’s people and deny the Republican Party’s devotion to the one-percent. Trump is one of America’s 560 billionaires who are enjoined with 10.8 million millionaires whose only goal is to control America by establishing a plutocracy.

Trump is in control of the Republican Party. They bow to their fuhrer and not only control our government, they have chosen to reject the needs and wishes of the majority of our nation’s people, while fully supporting special interests.

Are things changing? Will organizations who financially support candidates decide that the future of America is more important than temporary economic growth?

It is possible that we are witnessing disgust with Trump’s failures from the outside. ‘Crowdpac’ is a grassroots fundraiser has decided to suspend it’s efforts for all Republicans for at least 10 days. It is questioning the needs of the American people vs “Trumpism.” They are assessing whether or not the policies of this administration favor the one-percent of wealthiest Americans and discount the needs of the many and therefore the future of America.

Now, here’s the truth. Supporters of the real United States of America are rejecting Trump and those who bow to his despotic demands. Fascism is unacceptable. We will vote in November, and our focus will be to remove all Republicans from office and insure that congress remains the most powerful branch of our nation’s government. Trump must be stopped, and removing cowardly Republicans from office; returning power to Independents and Democrats; will save our country.

Show your support for yourself and your loved ones; vote in November.
