Trump and Moscow Mitch Completed the 40 Year Implosion of the once Grand Old Party

 In November of 1980 there was a presidential election. I voted for the winner of that election. He fooled me and millions of other Americans. We believed he would serve all our nation’s people by upholding the principles and ideals of the Grand Old Party. What Ronald Reagan did was begin a war on the working class. He began to move America towards a plutocracy by destroying unions, increasing the profits of large corporations, and lowered the wages of the majority.

By 2000 the Republican Party became the party of special interests; ignoring the needs and wishes of the working class. 20 years later, after four years of the worst president in history, the Party of Lincoln is nothing but a memory.

Although millions of Americans remain uninformed and choose not to see the truth, that the right-wing represents big business and other special interests, including the unconstitutional Christian Religious Right, it is an irrefutable fact.

Here are some of the issues important to and supported by the majority: raising the minimum wage, a woman’s right to make decisions about her own physical and mental health, same-sex marriage, full equality for women, universal healthcare, free or affordable higher education, and many more.

Trump and his corrupt party refuse to admit that Biden crushed their fuhrer, although he is currently leading the  orange buffoon by five million votes in the people’s decision, which doesn’t count as long as the unconstitutional Electoral College exists, and won the last four contested states, including Arizona and Georgia.

More importantly, Trump’s ignorant supporters refuse to believe that Biden won nearly every demographic, and made great gains with the military. Could this be because Trump called those who gave their lives for our country “losers and suckers?” Here’s what one brainwashed Trump reporter said.

“I did find it odd that, throughout the day/night, I saw a few dozen military ballots be counted. Although I cannot provide specific numbers or names, I can estimate that at least 80% of the military ballots I saw were straight ticket democrat or simply had Joe Biden’s name filled in on them. I had always been told that military personnel tended to be more conservative, so this stuck out to me as the day went on.” 

Over four years Trump has alienated every real American. He preaches anger, hatred, and violence constantly. He has proven himself the leader of white supremacy in America. Trump and Pence have displayed their bigotry towards the LGBTQ community, Muslims, and belief that women have a single purpose; to serve men. Every policy was designed to increase the profits of the wealthy, while losing American jobs. His refusal and inability to lead in the fight against Covid-19 cost more than 239,000 men, women, and children their lives.

Trump’s supporters refuse to face the facts and admit that their president is incompetent, and unfit for the office to which he was illegitimately elected. This is America in the 21^st century. We can be better.
