Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you are willing to be brainwashed, you watch television news. The Fourth Estate died between 2015 and November 8, 2016. They are no longer protected by the First Amendment, not by our government but by informed voters.    Republicans Hated Trump Until His Illegitimate Win in the Electoral College   Everyone should remember that prior to the 2016 election, most men and women who identified themselves as “Republicans” denounced Trump and his anti-American views of our country. However, after the election hypocrites including Moscow Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, and others stood in line to kiss Trump’s humongous derriere.   No one in today’s fake Republican Party can be trusted because they are all hypocrites.   With a Corrupt Government Who Lies to Our People Constantly, We Can Trust No One   I am an American.
