Trump has pulled the scab off the wound and it is bleeding. The GOP and Republicans at large have been able to use code words and misrepresentation to hide their bigotry and racism for so long. And they have gotten away with it for decades.
I remember them calling themselves the "big tent" or "diversity" party all along. And the Democrats have been shy about calling them out on that reality. Democrats are seem to be too scared to be publicly blunt.
Now that Trump is trumpeting who they are all over the country and world they cannot bear it. So they want to silence him and hope the electorate forgets and they can rebrand themselves by November as the patriotic party that loves America and freedom and is FOR women and workers.
If they can fool the voters this time and gain even more power they may rule tyrannically for a generation or more. And that possibility is most worrisome and frightening. The Reagan fraud revolution has succeeded very well for the 1%. And they are eager to fleece America to the last penny.
We can now understand why they desperation grows by the hour.

Then this upstart from Arkansas got in their way and they have never forgiven him or the Dems for it. It was the first time in my lifetime that I had seen such animosity and obstruction all the way to impeachment. I am thankful we at least worked Obama in for the past 8 years. I just fear where the GOP wants to take us next.
VOTE AGAINST THEM!!!
