Republican Party has become the Klan [View all]

...every action is anti-women, anti-black, anti-immigrant, anti-minority.

The republican party is a good-old boys club which not only resembles the Klan, it's actually gone full-on racist, advancing policies and practices which are, essentially, revived and expanded Jim Crow with brown-skin immigrants targeted out of opportunity, residence, security, citizenship, and well-being.

Trump is the defacto Klan leader with republicans around the nation comprising a network of racism and discrimination, adopting all of the divisive rhetoric and demagoguery of the past under his umbrella of bigotry and hate.

This generation's Klan, unlike their forefathers, are on their own insular islands projecting all of their bigotry on a rapidly diversifying society. They're surrounded, and that may be the thing which makes them all the more insidious and malignant.

It's funny, here's a sizable swipe of America racing headlong into a storm of resistance which would, if successful, ensure these racist dinosaurs' descent into obscurity - a fate the Klan has been trying to engineer for women and minorities for centuries.

The Grand Wizard in the White House and his minions are under siege. Starving them out and banishing them from government and society is our moral and material imperative.
