Are You Tired of Hearing All the Bad Things About America from Republicans?

 

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Clips I’ve seen of the Republicans in name only Convention, are depressing. I heard yelling, lies, enormous verbal kissing of Trump’s humongous derriere, and more lies. What I heard most from every speaker were complaints about how bad things are in America.

I might point out one irrefutable fact: the worst things about our country are the result of failed leadership from Republicans.

Three out of the four last Republican presidents are in my estimation, the worst presidents in history. They damage they caused is immeasurable and much of it is irreparable.

FACTS REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW, AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU

Trump began his illegitimate presidency with efforts to undo all of the positive accomplishments made by President Obama in eight years.

Here are some of the destructive plans for America if Trump riggs the election again and wins the Electoral College.

Project 2025 is Trump’s vision for America, compiled by the Heritage Foundation. However, Trump denies that he has any connection with the more than 200 men and women who worked for him and their input into Project 2025.

He has his own plan, which I highly doubt. Regardless, he calls it “Agenda 47.” Reading it I see no difference between the two fascist documents, with the exception of length.

Both have plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act which would leave 25-30 million Americans without healthcare. It would also remove the rights of men and women who have pre-existing conditions to obtain any form of medical care unless they possess great wealth.

Both plan to reduce or eliminate Medicare and Social Security. Both plan to give tax cuts to billionaires and force the working class to pay for them.

Agenda 47 and Project 2025 would give additional powers to the executive branch, while removing powers from the legislative and judicial branches. The result would be a dictatorship and the end of free and fair elections.

Agenda 47 has a plan to solve the homeless problem. They would be removed from the cities and placed in unpopulated federal land, which in many situations means the desert. They would receive nothing but the right to put up a tent.

“Trump's agenda plans to crack down on gender-affirming care for minors, ban critical race theory in schools, and introduce a tax credit for teachers who undergo firearms training to address school shootings. His immigration policies include ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and fully securing the southern border.”

Say good-bye to your Constitutional rights.

I only covered the “lowlights.” Both documents mimic the policies of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and currently Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un.

I REALIZED WHAT I HAD NOT BEEN SEEING OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS

I have written about my fear of losing my Constitutional rights, and the great dangers of the extremist right wing’s movement towards fascism. However, since January 20, 2017, when one entire political party dissolved and became loyal to Trump, not to the American people, they became willing members of Trump’s fascist party. What I feared has been here for more than seven years.

In the 1940’s a strong movement towards fascism was clearly in support of Adolf Hitler and his efforts to conquer the world. They wore the uniforms of Nazi leaders and held rallies with thousands of men and women in attendance.

The only difference between 1940’s American fascists in the 21^st century is those on the right side of the aisle today refuse to be honest about who they are.

I AM GLAD TO BE AN OLD MAN, BUT I FEAR FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTERS

If the American people make the same mistake they made eight years ago, and the worst president in history is allowed to defile the White House again, some changes will happen almost instantly. However, many will take years, maybe a decade as he and his traitorous party amass power.

I feel sad that future generations may never know about the America of our Founding Fathers. The history of the real United States will not be in the new “history” books. History will be rewritten to justify fascism and why one man, one dictator was allowed to make decisions which affected three to four hundred million human beings.

Sadly, I leave you with a prediction from our second President.
