Are You Now

So, back in the day, the Republicans all full of themselves, and all full of Patriotic bull shit, and were fervent anti-Communists. McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence. The term refers to U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) and has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting from the late 1940s through the 1950s It was characterized by heightened political repression and a campaign spreading fear of communist influence on American institutions and of espionage by Soviet agents. After the mid-1950s, McCarthyism began to decline, mainly due to the gradual loss of public popularity and opposition from the U.S. Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren. The Warren Court made a series of rulings that helped bring an end to McCarthyism.(Wikipedia)

Other forces encouraged the rise of McCarthyism. The more conservative politicians in the United States had historically referred to progressive reforms, such as child labor laws and women's suffrage, as "communist" or "Red plots", trying to raise fears against such changes.[15] They used similar terms during the 1930s and the Great Depression when opposing the New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Many conservatives equated the New Deal with socialism or Communism and thought the policies were evidence of too much influence by allegedly communist policymakers in the Roosevelt administration.[16] In general, the vaguely defined danger of "Communist influence" was a more common theme in the rhetoric of anti-communist politicians than was espionage or any other specific activity.

So, now in the DAY, the Republicans, THE PARTY of voter intimidation, gerrymandered districting, voter ID’s, voter restrictions, and INFLUENCED by a base of the Confederate States shall rise again, this nation was never intended to have a division between church and state, and should become a Christian Theocracy, White Nationalists, the KKK, and the insidious self-promoting bigots of Faux News, AND RECEIVING PLENTY OF EXTRA CASH, from the billionaire Soviet Oligarchs, has become the Party that begs the question of all of its members, “WHY ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE NEVER BEEN A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY. The GOP sadly still clings onto pretending the health and welfare of even its most ardent supporters is an unnecessary burden on the government, and sadly the Supreme Court has lost its standing as a neutral guidepost for the nation. The Senate Trial regarding IMPEACHMENT looms high on the horizon, and from the direct words of the Jury Pool, it seems a moot cause, that any justice will reign…because too many, let me be clear WAY TOO MANY REPUBLICANS, understand, left to their own devices they will lose the power they currently have. So the New Normal (and I hate that term) is the more foreign money that flows into the pockets of the GOP, the fewer Patriotism matters and who could give one shit about Democracy
