I had “love it or leave it” yelled at me by people who were as old as I am now. I considered myself a republican at the time yet believed we needed to get out of Vietnam and in Civil Rights.

From an LTE in todays newspaper(Tulsa World) the belief in GOTP/POT lies remains very strong here. The belief that all Democrats are socialist/communist and that they believe in each and every lie, no matter how much they really contradict…“…However the socialist-communist-Democratic party of today represents a severe risk to our basic values. They want open borders, free college, health care for undocumented immigrants, the Green New Deal, higher taxes, etc. ….. Look at congress; the infiltration of those catering to Sharia Law, anti semitism and socialism(communism) should concern all Americans. We have fought communism, socialism, Nazism and radical Islam. Today, they walk our halls of Congress advocating for the destruction of the American way of life. The communist-socialist-Democratic party wants us to be dependent on government, which will eventually destroy our freedom” and there you have the entire GOTP/POT in a nutshell. Massive ignorance. This is the Fox Opinion(propaganda) network long time viewer 38% of registered voters. GOTP/POT Authoritarianism has been spreading as the older, vastly more ignorant generation spread their fascist beliefs to succeeding generations. With the invention of the internet, these lies spread like wildfire……..

BEGINS:
President Donald Trump is facing a firestorm of controversy over his recent racist and xenophobic tweetstorm attacking liberal freshman members of Congress. And for good reason: His series of tweets suggesting that four U.S. congresswoman should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” reads as if it was ripped from a white supremacist manifesto.
It was shocking to hear the leader of the free world make such offensive statements about other elected leaders. But it didn’t stop there. As the criticism increased, rather than retract his statements, the president instead doubled down, insisting that he’s not racist and that the members he’s attacking hate America and hate Israel.
…
While I also have been deeply troubled — even at times disgusted — by comments from some of these congresswomen about Israel and Jews and have disagreed strongly with some of their policy statements, none of that justifies speaking in such racist and xenophobic terms.
And let’s be clear: Trump’s language was absolutely and unquestionably racist despite his denials to the contrary.

Since Orangeade has spoken so much about how awful America is, maybe he should leave first. We think it’s already great.
As well, he never smiles except when he’s with Putin.

How appropriate, a slogan from the Vietnam War era. When Donny showed his true cowardice by running away from military service.

You’re the one who’s left America, GOP/Trump. You don’t know it, but you have left America and are well on your way to 1939 Germany.

Been having the same stupid fights with the same stupid right wingers since the 1960’s, really wish they would grow up and join the modern world.
