A real downer

May 5, 2021 by Guest Post

By Phiffe Rogers, Hamilton

Democrats have been slandered and called names such as “libtards” and accused of being secular, socialist and of having a liberal “agenda.” In reality, Democrats aim to follow the Constitution, the Bible and principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence. Recently, Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being Satan worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles.

Republican insurrectionists support the adulation and deification of an ex-president who is a lying, daft dodging, con-man who hires prostitutes, launders Russian mafia money and cheats in his businesses, on his wives, taxes and even his golf games. He is the best only at one thing, he is the best example of a disgusting and evil person ever to hold public office.

Unfortunately for the American people, the Republicans have no idea how to make America great again because their ranks are filled with hate groups such as the Oath Keepers, QAnon, Proud Boys and the Aryan Republican Army. The only things they offer is a catchy slogan, mass psychosis, obstructionism, fear and hate. Republicans are to blame for most of the bombing and violence such as kidnapping and mass shootings in the country. They are against law and order by supporting voter repression, racism and police brutality.

The party of Lincoln has turned against the American people and against the Constitution and Bible. All they have left is lies, false claims, conspiracy theories and degrading rhetoric. If Lincoln were alive he would disavow his party affiliation in protest and support Bernie Sanders.

If you doubt this fact remember what Lincoln said, “I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” Republican leaders are not telling “the real facts” and have caused the death of many Americans due to false conspiracy theories and false claims.

Lincoln also said, “Labor is prior to, and independent of capital. Capital (Wall Street) is only the fruit of labor and could never had existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” If Lincoln was correct, why do Republicans support Wall Street and large corporations rather than labor unions and the American people?

Lincoln was wrong when he said, “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Government for the people has perished. Republicans have shamefully destroyed Lincoln’s dream of freedom, unity and democracy and changed our form of government to either a kleptocracy or a corporatocracy. Either way, the American people are doomed to ignorance and corporate slavery because of Republican hate, greed, lies and false beliefs.
