I truly think we are struggling to come up to speed when it comes to realizing fully what we are dealing with as pertains to this government. The GOP is going places we can’t bring ourselves to call what it is because it’s so far over the line of what we thought could ever happen in this democracy.
We keep saying “they can’t do that”, yet they do it and they get away with it. At some point pretenses will be gone and we’ll wake up and find we are so far over the line there is no going back.
Things are being done that are impossible to comprehend why anyone would want to do this, why would a law prohibiting the release of toxic chemicals from coal mining into rivers and streams be repealed, so that they can? Why would chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects be legalized, so corporations can make more money at the expense of future generations?
As much as we seem to be speaking about unspeakable evil and disregard for our people, there is an equivalency in direct proportion to the intentional murder of huge numbers of people. Is this party any better than Nazi Germany was as far as their vision of killing people? Intentionally taking away healthcare and medications that are and can save people’s lives, if people can’t get what they could be getting that saves lives it is the same as killing them.
Let’s call this what it is, the GOP is implementing policies that are killing people, whether it’s repealing safety regulations in coal mines, lifting bans on toxic chemicals, making healthcare unaffordable. Trump is no better than Hitler, and the GOP are no better than the Germans were, and the people that support Trump are no better than the religiously inclined people who supported Hitler and made that possible.
Perhaps this is a message and correlation that should be repeatedly put out there, let the GOP try to defend against this factual equivalency. We are in some deep shit people, and we better ramp up what we are calling it to what it is.
Wouldn’t you agree that while we are trying to figure out how bad this is it has gotten way worse than ever seemed could be possible? The GOP is jamming things through that would never fly if done under normal timeframes and protocols expected in our democracy.
The right was running ads calling Obama Hitler and his administration a Nazi regime. This is fitting the GOP right now far more than it ever did Obama.
