Trump was a Democrat for many years. But then they were not of his choosing. Instead he joined the Republicans When it came to Him leading. That was very telling. Why would this amoral Man Choose the Party with God in its name? Yet, there are many parallels. Can they be One and the Same?
The face of Republican Party Leaders Have remained the same for years. A stark lack of diversity – With no attempts to change, They don’t seem to care. A great support to Big Businesses Who support them in turn. A Party entwined with Special Interest Groups Who openly lobby for benefits and returns.
And who does Trump attract? Who makes up his Base? The Alt-Right, White, Rich and Privileged It’s with Him they found their Place.
It’s a wonder that the Party with God in its name Is the Party for the Privileged and Rich. The Party that Oppresses and Restricts. Its Members serve as Judge and Jury They try to limit Free Will They promote their religion with such fury While they side with what cages, maims and kills.
How did Trump get Evangelists and Christians on Board? He promised to promote their Christian Cause. And in turn, they would support the Sins And embrace the Cesar. As he said he would make Their religion advancement easier.
For the Party, there’s been no shame in their goals and aims For the Powers they want to maintain and reclaim. Questionable behaviors – not above board – Shrouded with rhetoric and in hypocrisy. Disrespecting the Constitution, norms and rules Engaging in corrupt behaviors, undermining Democracy.
Undermining President Obama To undo what he accomplished. Obstructing his Supreme Court Nomination To stacking it with Conservative judges. Their Bills are often filled with fluff Which the Democrats try to block. When Democrats agree to compromise The Republicans did not keep their Promise. Yet Trump and Republicans often put a spin to blame the Democrats for the Stalemates.
Trump has been stripping the country Wasting tax-payers money. He does not use Intelligence reports Or seem to take Daily Briefings. Instead it’s from Fox News He’s been getting his information. He ignores scientists and the science He politicizes the CDC to water down their guidance. He uses the Justice Department and the Attorney General To protect himself personally and as President.
The People call for less Government The Republicans oblige. They give more money and power to Corporations With the well-known lie That the money will trickle down For the common man to benefit from the pie. If that was truly the case Then companies should have policies in place To send the money directly to employees Not to the CEOs, Administrators and Wall-Street.
Trump demands Loyalty to Himself Republicans willingly give it. They turn a blind eye to all he does and says And they do nothing to oppose Him. They treat Opponents like enemies And are quick to comment against them. But when it comes to Trump They choose to remain silent.
Trump shows favors to Republican-run States And they in turn support his Cause – To blatantly abuse his Power And keep himself and those who are loyal above the Law. Trump receives favors from Republicans In the Senate and House of Representatives. As they blindly support all that he does And the Scales of Justice Tip even more, to benefit the White and Privileged.
Trump surrounds himself with people Who could easily depart from the truth. They would either already be corrupt Or are easily influenced to partake of the forbidden fruit.
It’s not about being just and fair It’s more about the Win They don’t care about how they get there Just as long as they are voted in.
– Gerrymandering, Redistricting, Voter Suppression, They do what they can to prevent People of Color, the poor, the disenfranchised
From getting to the Polling Stations.
– Lying, deception, outside influence,
Unfair practices, rejecting norms and rules
Has been part of Trump’s game plan
To win the highest office in this great land.
Republicans are playing a dangerous game In order to gain their leaders’ and people’s praise. It’s no longer what’s good for the Nation Instead they are elevating personal freedoms. So they fail to govern and mandate When and what is crucial to create A safe and prosperous society. As they engage in improprieties. They display outrageous behavior To protect the President. One bangs on the table to drown the voice Of a witness who testifies. Another votes against a Bill which he co-wrote. Blindly following the President is normalized.
So it’s clear that the Republicans and Trump Are entwined today With their corrupt and unjust ways. But the disturbing part Is that there are Americans Who continue to prop them and allow them to stay.
America’s foundation is being shattered – The Constitution, Liberties, Justice, Checks and Balances, Moral Compass- No longer matter. Power, Party, Greed, Personalities Corruption, “What’s in it for me” Propel their decisions and their Policies.
America pays a hefty price Out go the values, in with the vice. They are paving the way for a Chavez, a Castro. It could happen before you know. What would the Forefathers think? What will become of this Republic?
