The republican party has become a complete propaganda party.

In my opinion they have become a major threat to our country. They no longer believe in democracy. They are passing laws to stop people from voting is just one example. They lie and mislead their voters every day. It's become their platform. They are now telling their brain dead voters trump is a genius because he doesn't pay federal taxes. We are all in danger.

For the first time in my life i now consider the republican party the biggest threat to my family and country. I am 57 years old. Never in my life could i have imagined i would think this way about the republican party. But, It's real. It's happening.

But with 24/7 RW TV & radio for them to legitimize all the excuses, that's what keeps them from returning to reality.

Sad but true.

women voting. Women ruined the whole thing according to him. Then right after Bush the stupider got into the WH, our local radio programs following Limbaugh and leaning hard right had the subject one day about "Should women give up the right to vote?". I have thought ever since that they are trying to get the vote away from all of us who vote democratic, in order to have a one party government in the US. I'm 68 and I am just as scared as you are, seems like Nazis are trying to take over.

Cutting government benefits in order to cut taxes for the wealthy isn't a very good deal for most people.

I've considered the gop a criminal enterprise and a major threat to the country for nearly 30 years.

If a private company or even a small group of individuals pulled just half the shit the gop does, they'd be buried in RICO charges.

They have been against everything that is for the people and for everything that helps the billionaires.
