As a result of REAGAN'S REPUBLICAN POLICIES. This guy drank too much Czech water growing up. But what do you expect--the Russians walked in and took that country overnight without firing a shot. Now he wants to allow China to do the exact same thing here. Czech tanks are the ones with rear view mirrors.“When, in the early 1990s, I first arrived in Washington, D.C. as a student from the newly free Czechoslovakia, the Republican party was a beacon of hope.”
Have to disagree.
There was nothing ‘hopeful’ about the GOP in the early 90s; this was the party of Reagan and Bush, the party of the Southern Strategy, a party hostile to privacy rights and gay Americans, the party of the intolerant, authoritarian religious right, a reactionary party looking backwards, a party seeking to turn back the clock on the progress made to ensure the rights and protected liberties of all Americans.
Yes, the GOP is much worse now than it was 30 years ago, but the rot was well underway starting with Reagan.
People coming from Eastern Europe have fond memories though of Reagan rigorously opposing the Soviets, and his tear down the wall speech in Germany.
While I agree with your assertion, I can sympathize with the authors political leanings, coming to America at that time, from that environment.
The GOP And Conservative Media Now Resemble The Communists Of My Youth
You get more stupid everyday.
Nazi's can be "Rightwing" but Communists can be whatever you decide they are.
How do you view CNN?When, in the early 1990s, I first arrived in Washington, D.C. as a student from the newly free Czechoslovakia, the Republican party was a beacon of hope. It steadfastly advocated for liberty, both political and economic. It harbored no illusions about Cuba and other totalitarian states. It largely understood the importance of a strong American role in the world. I became an honorary Republican.
More generally, I was impressed by American political culture and the professionalism of the news media. They presented a sharp contrast to Central Europe’s post-Communist mess, in which vicious smears, naked lies, and corruption were our daily bread. I remember how much I wished Czech and American media and politics were alike.
And now they are. A significant portion of U.S. politics and media slid down the sewage to be as bad as ours were back then.
The sorry state of American politics is not due solely to Republicans, but they are by far the more responsible party. It is frankly astonishing how closely today’s GOP resembles in mentality the Communist party of my youth, right down to Donald Trump’s brownnosing to Moscow. It is incredible to see Fox News, let alone Newsmax and OANN, use the same methods as Czechoslovak TV and Rudé právo (Red Right), the official Communist paper, in the 1980s.
