Republican are Socialist Hypocrites
The above video exposes how Republicans are hypocrites who engage in, and condone Socialism for the Rich in the form of corporate bails-outs, tax payer funded sports stadiums, farm subsidies (22 billion in 2019 when Trump was President) etc, but harsh “pull yourself by up by your own bootstraps” Capitalism for everyone else.
Republicans who say they want to “Fight the Democrats Socialist Agenda” are Socialist Hypocrites, Anti-Democratic Fascist and Corporate Boot-lickers who pander to the RICH.
Per an article at salon.com – “Beware of right-wing scare tactics about Democratic socialism: Conservatives are using this boogeyman to manipulate their base”; “If you polled Republican primary voters and asked them if they supported Social Security or Medicare and Medicaid, an overwhelming majority would say ‘Yes.’ And that would, strictly speaking, make them socialists. Both liberals and conservatives treasure fundamentally socialist programs, but propagandistic polls like this mislead respondents into thinking the choice between socialism and capitalism is a binary one.
“We already have, as Sanders says, socialist safety nets for the very rich and the very poor, but pitiless free market capitalism for everyone else. He’s merely proposing we extend those safety nets to the middle class. Republicans talk about democratic socialism as though it’s interchangeable with communism. The later involves the government owning the means of production (which no one actually proposes); the former is a return to the midcentury norm, to the America of FDR and Eisenhower and Johnson”.
Senator Bernie Sanders stated; “Almost everything he [FDR] proposed was called ‘socialist.’ Social Security, which transformed life for the elderly in this country was ‘socialist.’ The concept of the ‘minimum wage’ was seen as a radical intrusion into the marketplace and was described as ‘socialist.’ Unemployment insurance, abolishing child labor, the 40-hour work week, collective bargaining, strong banking regulations, deposit insurance, and job programs that put millions of people to work were all described, one way or another, as ‘socialist.’ Yet these programs have become the fabric of our nation and the foundation of the middle class.”
Republicans who bashed the Infrastructure Bill as being the “Biggest leap towards socialism this nation has ever seen” are now attempting to take credit for Infrastructure Bill they voted against. This is just another example of Republican’s “Socialist Hypocrisy”.
These are some of the items in the Infrastructure Bill which Republicans called “Socialist”.
Let not forget how it was Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt who lifted America out of the Great Depression and put Americans back to work with his Grand New Deal.
President Harry Truman explains the difference between Republicans & Democrats at the 1948 Democratic Convention
Republicans use boogeyman phrases like “Socialist”, “Marxist” “Communists” and “Democrats will take your guns away” to SCARE uninformed people into NOT voting for Democrats, the very party dedicated to improving lives of the middle class and the poor. Democrats are NOT Socialist, Marxist or Communists. Most Republicans couldn’t accurately describe what Marxism, Socialism or Communism means if they’re life depended on it. Scare tactics is their stock-in-trade, because they have nothing else to offer.
When Republicans use their old, tired scare tactic campaign slogan that their going to Fight the “Democrats Socialist Agenda”, what they’re really saying is they want to take away your Affordable Health Care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other programs which benefit the middle class and the poor.
All Republicans care about is maintaining POWER and giving Tax breaks to the RICH so they can stay in power. They do NOTHING for the Middle Class and the Poor. What has a Republican ever done for you and your family?
Republicans LIE About Socialism to Scare Americans Into Settling for Less Than They Deserve
Jesse talks about socialism in America and its past and future. Also discussed are the many lies that Republicans tell about it in an effort to instill fear in American voters about that which there is nothing to fear.
Republicans have been lying about Democrats for years to convince people to vote for Republicans against their own best interests.
During the 2008 Presidential election, Republicans accused Barack Obama as being a Arab, Muslim and Terrorist. Republican Rep Allen West falsely claimed that 78 to 81 Democrat members of congress were members of Communist Party. The above video also shows Democrat’s policies are wildly popular in poll after poll.
Republicans voted 70 times to eliminate Affordable Health Care and have been wanting to CUT Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid for years
Republicans pursue Radical Right Wing Social issues such as passing Anti-Abortion, Anti-LGBT laws to get a large segment of the population to vote for them and use voter obstruction tactics so they can stay in power against the will of the majority of Americans. They have no problem lying or doing, saying what-ever it takes to hold onto power.
Trump & Republicans lying about the 2020 election, claiming the election was “Rigged”, “Stolen” and he “Won in a landslide” when the facts prove otherwise prove they are liars who have no decency.
Fighting “Democrats Socialist Agenda” means ending programs, services and benefits like these which we all take for granted;
Affordable Health Care
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Guaranteed public education
Public transportation
Fire departments
Police departments
Public libraries
Every branch of the US military
Roads & highways
Public, not private prisons & jails
Public hospitals
The Veterans Affairs Administration
Public universities
Public parks
Public toilets
Public drinking fountains
Public parking
Public everything
For decades, Republicans has used the term “Socialism” and “Socialist” as a scare tactic to try and keep people from voting for Democrats.
Republicans like to proclaim… “The United States will NEVER be a Socialist Country”. Well, it already is and they’re either too stupid to realize it, or too dishonest to admit it.
Taxpayers Funded Stadiums and Sports Socialism
Taxpayer funded construction of sports stadiums is rarely an investment that generates enough revenue to justify the expense.
John Elroy executive vice president of football operations for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL), say’s he’s a Republican because he’s against “safety nets”.
Republicans keep saying they are less government and wasteful spending. As shown in this video, a Democrat Mayor in Atlanta said NO to construction of a new taxpayer funded sports stadium while a Republican in a nearby town said YES.
This is an example of “Welfare for the Wealthy” and how Republicans have no problem using millions of taxpayer money for sports, but do not want to help regular Americans and the poor.
Sports and Farm Bill Socialism “safety nets” is OK fine with Republicans but most of these Repub scrooges don’t believe in helping the poor.
RED STATES ARE THE BIGGEST USERS OF “SOCIALIST” PROGRAMS
Welfare Hypocrisy: Red States Are The Real Freeloaders
For years the Republican Party has been telling us that the welfare system in America is helping to make people lazy and making them too dependent on the federal government.
Republicans Always Pretend to be such “Good Christians”
Republicans constantly site the bible to rationalize their every day actions, but are hypocrites by doing everything possible to take away assistance to the poor.
Matthew 25:40 says “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me”.
Matthew 25:31-46 says “For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’’
Cutting assistance to the poor is in direct opposition to Christ’s teachings, proving Republicans are some of the biggest hypocrites on this planet.
Per Wikipedia, the definition of Fascism is; “a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce. Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party”.
Republicans are proving they’re Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascist, rigging elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction, Voter Purges passing laws to Overturn Election Results, making it illegal to give water to people waiting in long lines, decreasing Drop Boxes and decreasing the days people can vote. They refuse to eliminate the UN-Democratic Electoral College which has made 2 of their unpopular candidates President who LOST the popular vote… Trump in 2016 and George W. Bush in 2000.
Republicans fit all of Characteristics of Fascism described in the article below.
Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt
1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.
14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
NOTE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND ISLAMIC TERRORISTS
Radical Right Wing Republicans can be easily spotted in Pick-up Trucks with flags (similar to Islamic Terrorist in pick-up trucks with flags).
Here’s a few of the behaviors and ideologies Republicans and Islamic ISIS Terrorist have in common;
- Bullies
- Religious extremists
- Extremists who resort to Violence to get their way (January 6, 2021 riots to overturn legitimate election which their leader, Trump lost)
- Condone eliminating a free press and democracy
- Extreme Patriotism. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
The basis of fascism’s support of violent action in politics is connected to social Darwinism. Fascist movements have commonly held social Darwinist views of nations, races, and societies. They say that nations and races must purge themselves of socially and biologically weak or degenerate people, while simultaneously promoting the creation of strong people, in order to survive in a world defined by perpetual national and racial conflict.
The Rules of the Demagogue | #RejectGOPFascism
Republicans are engaging in Nazi tactics by “Accusing the other side of that which THEY are Guilty” and repeating Trump’s “BIG LIE” that he won the 2020 election.
Republicans are constantly demonizing Antifa (Anti-Fascist) as being BAD. Being against Antifa means your against Democracy and FOR anti-democratic, authoritarian Fascism. German Nazis were Fascist.
Expert compares Trump’s politics to fascism
Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader.
POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press
43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll
Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator
Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.
