My Republican rant! It is spurious that Republican politicians and their mouth pieces have been railing against the poor and those who are struggling mightily to stay out of poverty all the while making it hard for any of these folks to improve their lives. It seems Republicans have no shame or are borderline sociopathic. Not only are they advancing the greedy desires of their wealthy donors but they are also baffling the electorate with their dishonest messaging. They also employ a sometimes subtle and sometimes not subtle message of division centered on race distinction. They are playing to the electorates trumped up fear, another Republican strategy, of each other in ways that destroy the American idea of a melting pot in favor of division. This keeps them from having to expose the real intent of their policies and keeps voters favoring them over others who want to unite our country with the truth of things. This blaming the victim technique is a tried and true method for those who cannot stand in the light of day with the exposure of their policies for all to see. I try to expose them to people and family I know but all I get back from some of them are the talking points the Republicans have supplied to divert and deny the truth. I shake my head and walk away frustrated that some people in my life would rather allow themselves to be racists or haters of others for the sake of their own cowardly fear. It is disheartening to watch Republicans harming our country and our countrymen standing up for them. As if doing harm is now a virtue and not the disgrace it should be penalized and punished for doing. I hope someday in the near future liars are not held in esteem and truth tellers are elevated to being the heroes they truly are.
