"Donald Trump didn’t make the Republican Party corrupt and bigoted – he just supercharged its corruption and bigotry. As evidence, I offer this timeline of the last 50 or so years, starting with Richard Nixon. I think it drives home the point that lovers of liberty must stop Republicanism, not just Trumpism."

@rysiek Astonishing, isn't it, that peole still peddle that drivel, and without a hint of sarcasm.
@wdlindsy In a free country, this would be taught in grade school.
1968/1972 POTUS “Crook” Nixon
& 2016/2024 POTUS “Felon” Trump probably consorting to consolidate 5 decades - Reagan, Bush Sr and Bush Jr - of conservative bigotry & corruption ?

@wdlindsy Barry Goldwater, Bob Taft, Nazi medal wearer Charles Lindbergh, it goes back to Hoover and beyond.
@wdlindsy Start by calling it corporatism. Most can't even define "republic."
@Nazani Do you think Mark Jacob wouldn't agree with that proposal?
@wdlindsy
Which Mark Jacob? Not that I would care what any of them thought; the public needs to see that GOP goals have nothing in common with the Roman or any other republic.
@Nazani I had assumed that since your comment responds to a thread headed by a statement of Mark Jacob, that's to whom you were responding.
@wdlindsy Since Nov 4, this applies to Americans in general. Those of us behind enemy lines need to look elsewhere for friends.
