This is the truest look at the reality of Republicans in power in any branch of government .

They have proven , over and over again , that they care little ( actually not at all) what happens to the rest of Americans after they suck up to wealthiest 1% and crush the rest of us.

They are sleazy, slippery and accomplished liars, all of them .

Im sure there are a few GOP members that disagree with these putrid policies.

However, their silence puts them in the same category as the loathsome Maga’s.

So they continue to destroy our economy , supported by the equally loathsome Heritage Foundation , the Koch brothers and all other supporters of the Republican attempted coup on January 6, 2020.

Make no mistake they are fine with destroying anything or anyone who does not play by their rules of ‘pillage, plunder and blame the other side’.

Something repeatedly thrust on the American people.

Im asking any sane individual that loves our country to support and encourage and remind President Biden to not give in to their lying demands to be allowed to destroy this country. Call your Congress persons and your Senators and your President. Support their no compromise position. Remind them and the people around you of the truth.

Republicans have no problem with destroying ours and the worlds economies.

Stop them now .

As I read Thom’s factual history of Republican shenanigans since Nixon I realized that most of my life I’ve witnessed the back and forth/seesaw effect of the deliberate funneling of America’s resources to the super rich, year by year,decade to decade. This deliberate theft of our tax dollars and future earnings of our next generations earnings should wake Americans up and you would think inspire a rebirth of actual economic policy legislation to benefit all Americans besides the 1%. But no. The Republicans have the percentage of Americans they need who believe the BS, exist in the Fox snooze bubble and question nothing but “why the Biden crime family hasn’t been arrested yet “, or believe the Republican misfit party is the party of “fiscal responsibility “ when historical facts prove otherwise. Even a recent statement by never -trumper David Jolley (I read The Bulwark also for other perspectives) provided a fact that the tRump administration raised the deficit by an astronomical amount which of course President Biden’s administration is now saddled with. And it was all designed to pass the buck to the incoming administration. I firmly believe the Republican strategy at the time was to force through the 2017 tax cut windfall for the rich then they believed tRump would win the 2020 election based on a number of factors( including a coup as a last resort) and then they would “magically save “ the economy by whatever they would pull out of a hat to make tRump and themselves the heroes. Thus they would be locked in and in power to serve their corporate and billionaire masters in perpetuity. I’m very concerned that with the dearth of factual reporting by MSM outlets (“both sides do it!”) and the dominance of the Fox bubble-loop, not enough tough questioning of Republican BS as well as a lack of accountability by voters has now given us the clown car fascist party in charge of Congress and many local and state government offices. Thus we have the book banners, dress banners, anti-democratic fascist evildoers in all areas of government. And the scary part is that these idiots are in the minority but have dominance over the rest of us (or have the biggest microphone and loudest voices) and too many Americans accept and nod their heads in a mind melt obedience to their exalted rulers. ( Thank you for the opportunity to rant ).
