1981 Thru 2023: the Politics of Self-Destruction


Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart


What I refer to as “the great change” began in January of 1981. Ronald Reagan’s efforts to remake the “Party of Lincoln” into what it has become today, the American Fascist Party. Today’s RINOs choose not to serve the American people, but to rule over us.

Reagan began wars on minorities, the working class, and women. He demanded loyalty without dissent and openly supported our nation’s wealthiest Americans. For eight years he violated the First Amendment as he accepted Evangelical Christianity as our nation’s only religion. 

What was once the “Grand Old Party” has devolved over the last 42 years. It has become the party of greed, negativity, and has moved so far to the right many right wing politicians have embraced the fascist ideas of Donald Trump. No longer are these men and women supporters of individual rights, small business, or family values. Today these anti-Americans seek control over the lives of everyone, controlling their physical and mental activities and beliefs. 

There is no longer a “Republican Party” in Washington. The few which were left of the Party of Lincoln reneged their last principles during a final implosion in January of 2017 when they discarded their principles and morals and bowed to their Fuhrer, Donald John Trump. 

Trump, Pence, McConnell, Cruz, Johnson, Grassley, Hawlings, Tuberville, McCarthy, Jordan, Gosar, Gaetz, Greene, Boebert, and many others who oppose the ideals of our founding fathers cannot claim to be Americans. They renounce the Constitution, with the exception of the controversial, vague, and poorly written Second Amendment. They are heavily indebted to the NRA gun lobby.

Finally, a fact our government and the mainstream media would prefer to hide from most Americans. Our nation’s laws do not apply to any of our federal elected officials. Proof? Donald Trump committed treason on January 6, 2021, and remains a free man running for the presidency in 2024.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncoming

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have writ

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically biased a
