These are impressions of my own observations about our politics in America and how the Republican party has grow into a party for Fascist and self interest groups. It’s like they swing the bat, make a hit and then run to third base instead of first and their voters love them for it. It’s a constant backward motion where it is easy to call out with truth backed up with facts.
“From the moment Trump announced his candidacy in 2015 he has raised fears and sought scapegoats to get supporters to find someone else to blame for their problems. He characterized immigrants as “criminals, drug dealers and rapists” and promised to ban Muslims from entering the country. He has engaged in race baiting and sided with white supremacists. Hitler was a white supremacist whose scapegoats included Jews.
Trump has cozied up to authoritarian leaders in Brazil, North Korea, Poland, Turkey and Russia. Like Hitler, Trump has attacked the legitimate news media as the “enemy of the people.” Accurate reporting that puts Trump in a bad light is always “fake” news.
Anyone who has studied Hitler will recall he loved big crowds and revved them up with rants packed with propaganda and lies. He thought if you told a big lie often enough, people would believe it. Trump loves rallies too. Plus, he has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims as president, telling some of the same big lies again and again, according to Washington Post fact checkers.”

If Sarah Palin finds her way back into politics as an Alaska congress woman, we’re in for more folly. The stooge antics of Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, as well as recent stumbles by other Republicans, have drawn unflattering harm to their party. Add Palin as the third stooge and they have a circus of weekly ridicule and more reason why to not take the MAGA party seriously. Why in God’s name, do they still have Trump in the picture as he has debased himself beyond repair with an attempted coup.
There needs to be more bitching about Moscow Mitch! He destroyed our supreme court selection process and stacked the court with a lopsided conservative margin. He destroyed the way our political system is suppose to work with both parties working together. By Mitch mading a blanket statement, when Obama came into office, to never pass any of his policies. The list goes on and on and on for why Mitch has to go.
This was said after the 2016 election.
January 6th could have been avoided if the Republican Senate had impeached Trump the first time and took him out of office.
Right out of Putin’s playbook.
It was painfully obvious that Putin always had something to keep Trump in line. It’s hard to believe now that anything could bring Trump down from the pedestal his followers bestow on him.
Loyalty and endless deception like a Fascist leader was the mode of operation for Trump.
I felt as though the Twightlight zone came into my life when Trump was elected to office. It was like an unternative reality and we all suffered the consequences on January 6th, 2021. I was so glad when he was voted out of office, it was like a big burden was lifted from our collective consciousness. We lost so much credibility in the world by having such a corrupt human being in the White House. He gave a bonified dishonest and fake news guru, Rush Limbaugh, the meedal of freedom, that is pretty f-d up.
When Trump first took office, the lies started to come in like rain on a tin roof.
When Trump was not impeached the first time, we all wondered what is it going to take to get this corrupt human con man out of here.
