... is beyond immoral, beyond Un-American, and beyond the bounds of sanity.
But rest assured. This is the last gasp for you, Trump, the Heritage foundation, your greedy, racist corporate sponsors, and your entire reactionary band of lunatics. Yes, you are the culmination of the 45 year reactionary project. You are wreaking destruction upon the remnants of the functional liberal democracy that emerged as we actually made progress on the road to a more perfect union. But you WILL NOT PREVAIL.
From the fall of Jim Crowe in the 50's, to the aspirations of a political party that no longer exists, but whose aspirations were expressed in the 1956 Republican platform.
On its Centennial, the Republican Party again calls to the minds of all Americans the great truth first spoken by Abraham Lincoln: "The legitimate object of Government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities.

And on to meaningful progress on civil rights for African Americans in the 60's, and then meaningful progress for women's rights in the 1970's.

backlash in the form of the forty-five year project by the radical right fascist corporatists to turn back all that progress and transfer more than 50 trillion from the many to the few, while making it nearly impossible for ordinary people, disabled people, or people born in poverty to access the American dream, however hard they worked.
Trump didn't co-opt the Republican Party. The Republican Party has been advancing its
racist, immoral, soulless project to destroy the powerhouse of progress that a functional liberal democracy represents for more than 40 years. And Trump is merely the culmination.
And you all have gone too far.
And that is your undoing.
This decade will not mark the victory of fascist corporatism.
OUR backlash will be SOOOO much more powerful over the next few decades than the backlash of the soulless, immoral, racists ever has been.
