My brother complains about socialism all the way to the bank to deposit his SS check, and to the doctor's office that is covered by Medicare.
Republicans have sold, sold, sold their bankrupt notions to the American public like mother's milk ever since the
Fairness Doctrine was overturned. But most damaging of all was the politicalization of the Christian right. Republicans have flocks of evangelicals who are convinced that the Democratic Party is head by the Devil himself and that all of their religious rights will be stripped and the country will be pure evil if Democrats are elected.
These notions are coming from evangelical pulpits and leaders. This is the EXACT reason why the Founding Fathers wanted religion kept out of politics. They saw how the Catholic Church was corrupted and manipulated by its political machinations in Europe leading up to the Reformation. The Reformation happened because of the Pope's political manipulations of various European governments throughout the Middle Ages.
1776 wasn't that far from removed from the Reformation, and the religious corruption that lead to it. How is this any different from Donald Trump supressing dirty pictures of the Franklins, in return for which Rev. Franklin tells his flock to vote for Trump. Not much God in there for that preacher, is there?
