Is America Witnessing the Collapse of the GOP?
Around the same time Donald Trump issued an executive order to slash the revenue to Social Security, a Republican sheriff in Florida required police and people who come to the police station to take off their masks. This is the face of the Republican Party: greedy, petty, angry, and stupid. Republicans have fought Social Security ever since it was created in 1935. They have fought Medicare ever since it was created in the 1960s. They oppose voting rights for minorities, want to insert themselves between women and their doctors, and are trying to destroy American families by cutting education, food support and access to good housing. They even oppose the right of working people to unionize so they can have decent pay and good benefits, and the right of average Americans to send their kids to good public schools.
