TrumpubliKKKons want to pay workers less to work harder so they get more profits. Their real dream would be to return to SLAVERY — the ultimate expression of low wages (how about NO wages) for harder work.
TrumpubliKKKons are not about freedom except for the wealthiest corporations and few richest elites who already have the most (after they inherited it from Daddy), because they think they are better than you or me — people who actually suit up, show up and GO TO WORK every day for what we EARN.
Senator Daniel J. Morrell of Pennsylvania, a REPUBLICAN, was elected in 1866, slightly after Lincoln’s assassination.
In his first speech in Congress Mr. Morrell uttered the following plea for labor: "The American workingman must live in a house, not a hut; he must wear decent clothes and eat wholesome and nourishing food. He is an integral part of the municipality, the State, and the Nation; subject to no fetters of class or caste; neither pauper, nor peasant, nor serf, but a free American citizen. He has the ballot, and if it were possible it would be dangerous to degrade him.
The country stands pledged to give him education, political power, and a higher form of life than foreign nations accord their laborers, and he must be sustained by higher rates of wages than those of Europe. Our industries operated by American citizens must be freed from foreign interference and organized into a distinct American system, which will exact some temporary sacrifices but result in general prosperity and true national independence. In maintaining diversified industries we utilize every talent, provide a field for every capacity, and bind together the whole people in mutual dependence and support, assuring the strength and security of our Republic."
So, WHAT does that have to do with TODAY’S Republican party?? NOTHING!!!
Yet oddly enough, “Sorry to Trouble You” is being marketed as a comedy , rather than a dystopian film in which the poor (and especially poor minorities) are enslaved through a corporate work service called “WorryFree”. Why would this possible future be plotted as funny ???
Activists in New Jersey have crowdfunded enough money to buy their own “Baby Trump” blimp (enough for two!). Several other groups are attempting the same. Just thinking….wouldn’t Mango Mussolini be supremely P.O’d if those insulting little figures became the new Garfield the Cat figure…stuck to the inside of car windows everywhere – with the phrase, “Crybaby in Chief”??

Well, he’s more popular with conservatives, maybe. But probably not after the Helsinki Treason Summit.

Lincoln freed the slaves, but Trump enslaved us to Russia.

He really IS that delusional, isn’t he? His mental breakdown from his untreated Syphilis is getting worse by the day and accelerating his Alzheimer’s.

The party of Trump bears no resemblance to the old party of Lincoln.

The toon does show how the Civil Rights Act changed southern Democrats to Republicans, and Trump’s going for the hood and cross burning crowd.

Imagine if we obliterated all laws that came after 1900. What kind of country would we have?
