How the Once Grand Old Party Devolved Into This…
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt
Gaetz: these are just a few of not only the worst legislators in American
history, but the worst people ever to unjustly claim the title of “American.”
How did this happen? How did our government become the most corrupt,
incompetent, and uncaring in the world?
Let’s stop lying to ourselves. This situation is our fault.
These people were not ‘hired’ for their positions, they received enough votes
to win elections. We, the voting public, are to blame for the fact that America
has the worst government in the free world. Voters in Ohio, Georgia, Colorado, Florida,
and other states simply chose to support anger, hatred, and support violence
against minorities, Muslims, Jews, Hispanics, and all women rather than display
any form of patriotism.
These fake Republicans who call themselves the “Freedom
Caucus,” have no interest in effectively governing our nation. They serve their
masters; the plutocrats who actually control our daily lives.
If you have the delusion that the Republican Party, the
Party of Lincoln, or the Grand Old Party, exists in 2023, you are totally
uninformed and braindead. In my short 77 years, I have respected many members
of both parties. However, although I am and always will be an Independent, I
can tell you that there are no Republicans in Washinton today. They serve a
wannabe dictator who believes in fascism and would end democracy forever in the
United States if allowed to do so.
The only problem with America in the 21st century
is that our nation has only one concern: money. If you are not one of our
country’s approximately 22 million millionaires and 724 billionaires you do not
live in the America promised by our Founding Fathers. If you have been to a
grocery store, a gas station, or received a monthly utility bill in the last six
years, you know this is a fact. God forbid that you received a bill from a
hospital, and you know that all hope for your future is lost. The cost of a
single night’s stay in for profit hospitals is currently $2883.00. This is more
than the monthly income of millions of our nation’s people. The United States
has the worst and most expensive healthcare in the world, and our government
doesn’t care. Lobbies formed to support the healthcare industry are one of the
owners of today’s American Fascist Party, formerly known as “Republicans.”
As I informed you previously, I no longer trust anyone, and
I do mean anyone, in power. I have been betrayed for my support for my
government, law enforcement, religious leaders, medical professionals, educators,
and even members of my family throughout my 77 years.
I will vote on November 5, 2024. However, I fear that my
choices will become “the lesser of two evils.”
