Anyone Who Wants A Decent Living W/Decent Pay/Health Care/Retirement Is A Socialist To GOP.

If you want any of the things that make life bearable and livable you are a taker and socialist even communist. That situation is framed as being TOO FAR LEFT for America. The GOP wants a medieval American where the masses serve the interest of the super wealth. It is a new aristocracy of the rich in America.

The GOP/Trump and its super rich donors want a "Metropolis" America. And they are well on their way to achieving such goal. It is an America where the Dickensonian era in England would look like a socialist paradise.

Making America great agains is about making a great place for billionaires and the super rich. As for the rest of us it will be just crumbs. And using racial hatred, bias, bigotry etc seems to have worked and seems to be still working. Making the immigrants, blacks and hispanics the boogeyman is their stock in trade. And too many poor and economically bankrupts fools have fallen for it.

for example Nixon on pro-environment (father of EPA, after all,) and other similarly 'sane' repugs, pull out videos/speeches, and use them against 2018/20 repug noise machine.

and not pick and choose, then they would understand that Jesus Christ himself cared for the very things the GOPs are against right now.

for expressing that very sentiment;

"is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?"


is what George Bailey thought a working man should have, and that was a radical desire.

This has been going on for a century.
