Republicans must End Their False Claim of Being Conservatives and Admit that They Are Racists and Bigots

M

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 

For decades the media has allowed right-wing politicians to claim the title of “conservatives.” This is a blatant misconception of these men and women in 2024. They have none of the attributes attached to men and women in the past who actually were conservatives. What today’s right-wing politicians are in reality can be defined by the labels “racists and bigots.” 

Today’s fake Republicans are opposed to the protection of voting rights for all, the growth of small businesses, the rights of the LGBTQ community, equal rights for women, an end to extreme racism, fair taxation, an end to domestic terrorism and our nation’s growing gun violence, and First Amendment protection for the practice of religion of choice, or none at all. All of these failed policies are opposed to the beliefs of true conservatives. 

There are no "Republicans" in Washington Today

The ultimate truth is that today’s “Republicans” are not representative of their predecessors. In fact, few of them are loyal to the United States of America. Most of these pretenders are loyal to their Fuhrer, Donald John Trump, not to 330 million people they were elected to serve. 

The reality you will never hear from the men and women who are paid millions of dollars to report the news accurately and without prejudice is that our nation is engaged in a Second Civil War. The war is between those who love our democracy and cherish the ideals of our Founding Fathers, and those who would replace democracy and freedom with a fascist regime. 

America has Become a Plutocracy

Capitalism has been replaced by Plutocrats, and a plutocracy cannot survive without the support of an authoritarian government. This is today’s right wing. Today’s Republican Party in name only is fully aware that they cannot win elections if they are fair and secure. Donald Trump and his minions are selected by billionaires and men and women who believe in fascism and forcing minorities, women, and all less privileged men and women to become subservient to pure, wealthy white men and women. 

Protect your Right to Vote

Today’s “Republicans” want to take away our only weapon against corruption and tyranny: the right to vote in a fair and secure election. While we have that right, please vote wisely. Reject political affiliation and ignore what you see and hear on television. Research the candidates and find the truth for yourself.

I Want You to Think About the Reasons for, and the Reality of Domestic Terrorism

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   From FBI Director Christopher Wray: “Domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people.” Everyone remembers the name Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995 where 168 innocents were murdered, 19 of them small children. The media reported stories about Ted Kaczynski, dubbed “The Unabomber,” for 17 years, beginning in 1978. However, domestic terrorism is much more common in our country than reported by the media. Large events receive the headlines, but mass shootings continue to happen more frequently than the number of days on the calendar. After the cowardly attacks on 9/11, Republican politicians misdirected the facts related to domestic terrorism and focused their attacks on all Muslims, insinuating that they were all enemies of the United States. The truth is that the greatest danger lies within our own people, and it is related to uncontrolled gun violence and the greed of those involved in their manufacture and sales

One Very Serious and Critical Question: Why Do Republicans Hate America?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is an irrefutable fact that today’s pseudo-Republicans hate the principles of our Founding Fathers, and have no interest in the future of the American People. Studies prove that they are opposed to every issue favored by the majority. The leader of their party is a lifelong criminal, a sexual predator, a fascist, the biggest traitor in American history, and the worst American president by far. I couldn’t make this s**t up. The truth is that the real Republican Party began to implode in 1981. Trump and his followers completed its demise in 2017, and it will never return. The ideals and principles of the former Grand Old Party are dead and forgotten. Today’s group has moved so far to the right they have embraced the ideas of fascism. Human rights, liberty and justice for all, and the ideals of understanding and compassion have long been forgotten. Money is their only god, and support from the wealthiest five percent of our nation’s people is priority number o

Why my Wife Wants to Move to Canada

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I continue to claim that after four years of an illegitimate Trump presidency, the United States is one election away from becoming a fascist regime. A Republican win by any of their unqualified men or women in 2024 would signal the end of my America. Our neighbor to the north is already making preparations for the time when our government surrenders 330 million people to a dictator. [Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has been considering a "game plan" for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year's presidential election.] If I haven’t reported enough information to create an atmosphere of fear over the last 10 years, my efforts have failed. Maybe the fact that Canada is taking steps to thwart the effect of an autocratic society to its south will awaken some of the uninformed. Here’s the way I see it, tell me if I’m wrong. About 30-40 percent of all Americans c
