This diary is short and sweet, as it gets right to the point. In George Washington’s farewell speech, he said the following about political parties;
"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
FAREWELL ADDRESS | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1796
A country being subverted by one of it’s political parties isn’t new and Washington was aware of this. The Modern GOP/right wing has been heading in this direction for decades, if not at least a century. They failed when they tried to over throw FDR, but that doesn’t mean they gave up. They spent the next many decades whittling away at the laws that had prevented them from undermining our institutions. From being able to buy politicians and the media, to destroying unions and undermining the working class. It really came to the fore when Reagan was elected and became popular for making our government the enemy, which he clearly articulated when he said;
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
Ronald Reagan
They’ve elevated Donald Trump above the law and work hand in hand with our enemies, especially the Russians. Make no mistake, let their be no qualms, about the current treasonous banana Republicans infecting the government with multiple malicious acts of subversion. They have made themselves the greatest enemy our Republic has ever encountered.
Vote for the best candidate to stop them this coming November, the future of country does depend on it. Vote blue no matter who.
