The cancerous illusion of republicans (#3708)

     Funny how republicans think that this coming election is like all other elections in the past where subtle confusion and misdirection can go a long way in garnering a majority vote. This coming election is nothing like that! Instead watching republicans pull their dirty tricks with senate rules and fake procedural votes is to me having the opposite effect. Oh sure there are some who are already in the trump camp who are happy with the con, but the democratic and independent voter who sees the illusion are not buying it. Instead they are already feeling the pain of the trump tax cuts and republican cut social spending. As well seeing trump act s if he is innocent while hiding the truth of the Mueller report is almost comical if not so serious.
     Add in that trump is taking money from troops and trying to put it to his vanity wall which most Americans are against and his self imposed punishment on farmers in the form of his unnecessary tariffs we see the continuation of self inflicted wounds trump is heaving upon his chances to be reinstalled. Now he is going after The Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, and it's positive effects for around 21 million working middle poor class citizens, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/health/obamacare-trump-health.html. Of note trump is claiming to be the champion of health care. Talk about an illusion, more in line with delusion. Yet it is his plan to claim to be making health care better while gutting what works now with nothing to replace it.
     I also find it interesting that the rabid pack dog leader of the majority republican senate is thinking his obvious moves to deny the Green New Deal is a winning strategy when all the Green New Deal does is move us back from worsening climate change. Again, republicans don't believe that man made climate change is a reality. So no matter how you look at the republican party, their take on America is profit first, last, and always. I guess being blinded by greed keeps them from facing the dire nature of their actions but that is their cross to ignore. The rest of us majority Americans do not have to be suckers like republicans and instead we democrats can be good stewards to not only our planet but to our modernizing, creative, innovative, egalitarian, democratic society.
