The R party is a far greater threat to democracy than any foreign power [View all]
When I was younger I considered myself an independent. I think years ago the rethugs didnt always march in lock step and occasionally liked someone in R party. But looking back theyve been an evil element for a long time. They are always devicive, always using fear to further their goals. Not that long ago is was the commies and Russians. Now they think Russians are fine but still terrorize people with communism. I find that amusing, as much as one can be amused by those assholes.
Ive always read a lot about WWII. Im reading a book now about the very early days, right after Pearl Harbor. There was a short period of unity for about two months before the rethugs started using the war to demonize Roosevelt and the Dems. But true to form they quickly tried to make political points with the war. US History tends to gloss this over and todays rethugs would like to portray themselves as patriotic and unified Americans during the crisis. But back then they were more interested in their own agenda. How did they ever get away with appropriating patriotism as if its their main theme?
