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.
