How America’s ultra-rich dismantled democracy, one Supreme Court ruling at a time.
Thom Hartmann
The inaction of high profile and leadership Democrats is not just weakness—it's a betrayal of Democratic principles and thus our nation.
While most Americans who voted for Trump probably knew he was a convicted criminal, it’s unlikely they also thought he’d commit crimes in office that would gut the protections and programs that so many of them need.
In the face of a growing fascist threat from Trump and his captive GOP, America desperately needs Democratic politicians who can lead, inspire, and energize.
Trump referred to his second presidency as the start of a “golden age” for America. Most likely, though, it’ll just be a golden pile of cash filling the money bin of the most corrupt president in American history.
The oligarchy of the old Confederacy never really went away and arguably it has just taken over the United States 164 years after they first fired on Fort Sumpter, this time with “Tech Bros” replacing plantation owners.
Evil doesn’t negotiate—it devours. That is the peril of trusting Republicans with America’s future. The GOP isn’t interested in Democracy, and it’s time to wake up.
A single memo launched the Republican strategy to control media, courts, and public opinion, reshaping American democracy. Democrats have a ton of work to do to reclaim it.
Trump and his "people" are creating exactly the sort of environment which can turn normal people into monsters who then seize control and ultimately destroy nations from within.
Republican politicians don’t give a damn about your job, particularly when they can find somebody else to do it cheaper, although they do have to put on a little show from time to time to keep the racists happy.
Americans—and people who want to become Americans out of hope or desperation—deserve better. And throwing some of these rich white employers in jail instead of terrified immigrants would be a good start.
Republicans are generally convinced—and surveys show they’re right—that when people have a good, well-rounded education they will vote for Democrats.
Hopefully this time Democratic politicians and our media will, finally, call the GOP’s Two Santa Clauses scam and put an end to it once and for all.
We should be using the Tea Party’s playbook to reclaim the Democratic Party and advance real progressive change.
As the old guard fades and democracy is under siege, the next generation of leaders is missing in action: who will step up and fight?
Americans are wondering out loud why we’re getting ripped off by giant insurance companies when every other developed country in the world has healthcare as a right.
