Our Constitutional Republic faces a clear and present danger more deadly than that of the Civil War. The danger is the Republican Party, a "political party" that has sold out to white supremacy, autocracy, misogyny, and hatred of everything our Nation stands for. Republicans dismiss any sense of a common American narrative. The "Republican Party" is an outlier in our history – ideologically extreme; contemptuous of social and economic policies that have sustained us for a century; unwilling to compromise; dismissive of evidence, fact, and science; dismissive of the legitimacy of any viewpoint except their own. America needs to face the simple, frightening fact that the Republican Party is a clear and present danger to our Constitutional Republic.

Here is a message to Trump supporters:

Trump did not lower your taxes. Here is a list of other things he did not do for you.

DID NOT fix your bridges or roads
DID NOT get you a “beautiful healthcare plan”
DID NOT lower the price of your prescription drugs.
DID NOT decrease the deficit or pay off the national debt.
DID NOT revive the coal industry.
DID NOT make “COVID disappear in 14 days”.
DID NOT “build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.”
DID NOT “drain the swamp”, instead he brought in a whole administration filled with swamp creatures.
DID NOT put “America first.”

So — when you say he “fought for you,” what you really mean is that he hates the same people you hate, only he said it out loud so you can say it out loud. He did not do a goddam thing for your except make it okay for you to shout at the people you hate.

He hates who you hate.

And sadly, that’s all you need.
