Republicans are not, and never were, nice people. Their entire agenda has always been one of disgraceful inhumanity, economic injustice, and intolerance. I will never understand, how, over the long term, that Democrats have failed to recognize that a Republican is just a Nazi waiting to happen.
Democrats are the adults in the room. We should have been pointing out that Republicans are nothing but anti-American fascists the day Nixon was elected. The situation we are now in with little Adolf trying to become dictator is, to a great extent, the result of long term appeasement of fascists.
Nixon, Reagan, GHW Bush, GW Bush, Trump...all inhumane fascist authoritarian bigots who robbed from the poor to give to the rich.
If we continue to fail to message that Democrats are the true friend of working class people everywhere, that Republicans are nothing but anti-democratic, authoritarian fascists intent on destroying democracy, and we begin immediately to aggressively act to block the avenues that Republicans use to promote and legitimize fascism and destroy democracy, then the fascists will destroy our democracy as quickly as they possibly can.
The GOP is the greatest threat to our democracy, and the most dangerous enemy of the sovereignty of United States, that presently exists The majority of Republicans have supported Trump's coup attempt, and make no mistake, they will rejoice if he somehow succeeds in his quest to become dictator.
