Apr 15, 2023 — The modern Republican party is hurtling towards fascism ... America no longer has two parties devoted to a democratic system of self-government.

Both the RINOs and the Demwits are Globalist, Socialist, big spending warmongers. They're owned and operated by a "higher power" of Elitists that pull the puppet strings of the Banking System, globally.

Recall that in 2018, after Wisconsin voters elected a Democratic governor and attorney general, the Republican legislature and the lame duck Republican governor responded by significantly cutting back the power of both offices.

Meanwhile, a newly installed Republican supermajority in Florida has given Ron DeSantis unbridled control – with total authority over the board governing Disney, the theme park giant he has fought over his anti-LGBTQ “don’t say gay” law; permission to fly migrants from anywhere in the US to destinations of his own choosing, for political purposes, and then send the bill to Florida’s taxpayers; and unprecedented prosecutorial power in the form of his newly created, hand-picked office of election “integrity”, pursuing supposed cases of voter fraud.

Without two parties committed to democratic means to resolve differences in ends, the party committed to democracy is at a tactical disadvantage. If it is to survive, eventually it, too, will sacrifice democratic means to its own ends.

In these circumstances, partisanship turns to enmity and political divisions morph into hatred. In warfare there are no principles, only wins and losses. America experienced this 160 years ago, when the civil war tore us apart.

Donald Trump is not singularly responsible for this dangerous trend, but he has legitimized and encouraged the ends-justify-the-means viciousness now pushing the GOP toward becoming the American fascist party.

We are witnessing the logical culmination of win-at-any-cost politics – and Donald Trump has encouraged it

For once I agree

By continuing to capitulate to the DNC the GOP is quickly making themselves into a party both sides hate.

Then there will only be the DNC and fascism.

Well said.

It's the same difference really.

LOL! The people who forced kids to take an experimental medical procedure, closed schools for two years, and took away other peoples' jobs, homes, businesses and children are lecturing us about fascism.

Fuck you, Nazis.

Are you serious?

Trump.was your first Outsider president and the Establishment hated it. Only a wealthy billionaire could ever run as a third Party as Ross Perot (I think) did.
