We should thank Trump for exposing the REAL Republican Party. [View all]

For the past 50+ years, the Republican Party has been able to disguise their true agenda.

They have always favored Wall Street over Main Street.

They have always wanted to get rid of "entitlements": Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.

They have always been a party that welcomed racists and bigots of every sort.

They have always wanted women to be second class citizens, (property), with no personal choices.

They have always been a party that favored white, "Christian" nationalism.

They have always been a party that favored fascism over democracy.

They have always been the shits that Trump has revealed them to be.

This is not to say that each and every person who voted for Republicans was a greedy, racist, fascist. Many people bought into their propaganda of how they were the "Party of Patriots," or the "Party of Family Values," or the party that "loved our military," or the party that "held all life sacred," or the party that believed "everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps," or the party that would "do away with taxes," or the "PARTY OF REAL AMERICANS!"

Many, who didn't know any better, bought into some of all of this snake oil. And they never realized they were voting against their own well being and quality of life.

Then, along came Trump. And the mask was ripped off. What we see today is the true Republican Party. And it's a really inhumane, cruel and totally ugly example of humanity. This November, the majority of Americans must vote to rid ourselves of, not just Trump, but the current incarnation of the Republican Party. -- Any democracy must have an opposition party. But today's Republican/Fascist party ain't it.
