Today, October 6, 2018, this Republican Party in name only declared nuclear war on the American people. By confirming the nomination of a sexual predator and a pathological liar for the Supreme Court, they offered irrefutable facts that they believe that the Constitution is invalid, and their belief that women have no value other than to serve men, breed, and do as they are told. Sexual assault is not a crime, it is the right of all men to use women as they please.

This was a declaration of the ultimate war between fake-Republicans and all Americans who believe in the validity and equality of women in America.

As long as I can remember women have been treated as second-class citizens. They have been considered inferior to men and expected to serve the needs of men without expecting respect or being treated as equals. For as long as I can remember the old, white men in the Republican Party have been misogynists, racists, and bigots. Since January 20, 2017 they have bowed to their fascist leader and openly share Trump’s beliefs in white supremacy and sexism. Other than the recently deceased John McCain not a single member of the Republican Party has had the courage to stand-up to the man in the White House who does not qualify as an American president.

I am proud that I am an Independent. I am also proud that I have not voted for a single GOP politician since 1992. None of them have deserved my vote. Not a single true Republican exists today. They are tools of Trump, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch, and other leaders of a once great party. Extremists are in control and they must be destroyed.

Those who call themselves Republicans today are nothing but opportunists; ignorant and useless old men and women who have failed the American people and therefore their oath of office. Their only concerns are their party and reelection.

We must destroy these men and women; they are all enemies of the American people.

The truth; the Republican Party began to implode in the early 1990’s thanks to Newt Gingrich. It escalated under the Bush 43 administration, and when the TEA Party infiltrated the GOP in 2010 the end was inevitable. Today it does not exist. The Trump Fascist Party has replaced the once Grand Old Party and all real Americans should be sad.

Please vote. We must all follow the lead of America’s women and the students from Parkland Florida. We can save America.
