Republicans Are The Pro-Death Party
Time to Clarify Their Platform
by Elaine Gilmartin
Like millions of Americans today, I am sick, I am angry, and my rage is off the charts, matched only in intensity by election night in 2016. Because Trump said exactly what he would do.
There is a disconnect between Republicans’ purported claim to be the moral party at the same time their poster boy, Trump, personified every vile characteristic, including but not limited to; philanderer, tax cheat, draft dodger, sexual predator, liar extraordinaire.
His Christian Nationalist following is not an aberration but panders precisely to what they embody; the Republican platform of domination and retention of power at the expense of human life.
They hate kids. Hate them. Unless they are straight and white and can be indoctrinated into their cult. And don’t read Harry Potter.
They claimed an entire first grade class didn’t exist when there was a mass slaughter in Sandy Hook. Nope, never happened.
They harass kids when they protest their right to attend school without having to dive under their desks during a shooting and being forced to watch their classmates die a slow and painful death. Can’t imagine what David Hogg felt when tormented by Majorie Taylor Greene.
