GOP Just Like Any Other Nazi Group [View all]

If you look at Machiavelli's "The Prince" and look at Goebbel's tactics in Germany you find all the same strategies going on. That's what one talk show caller said today on a radio talk show. And I can't really argue with that because what the GOP is doing runs parallel to that book and those tactics. Attack all the vulnerable and demonize them. Go particularly hard on gay and transgenders. Mix in a good dose of fanatical religion. Take over the media and have it do all your bidding. Establish a repeatable line of hateful, racist and bigoted propaganda. Explode the military budget with all new weapons. Then scrap the economy to make the populace hungry and desperate. Stack the courts with fellow nazis to skew justice. Then broadcast as many lies as you can as quickly as you can. Paralyze government and demonize public workers. Empower a crazy outfit like the NRA. And it goes on and on.

Based on what we see in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania etc and we can see what the GOP thinks of freedom. We can see how they will rule and not represent. This election will truly be the election of our lifetime. The only thing left is to see what the Republicanazi party will replace the American flag with whenever they do get power.
