As we close in on the most important elections in American history, I want to duck in here real quick today to ask two important questions:
-
WHY DO TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN PARTY HATE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
-
WHY ISN’T THIS QUESTION BEING ASKED BY EVERY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE OF THEIR REPUBLICAN OPPONENT LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS FROM THOSE MIDTERMS ON NOV. 3?
For nearly as long as I can remember, and certainly during the past gruesome decade, there has been this insane notion that Republicans care more for our country than Democrats.
That needs to stop now, and forever, because nothing could be further from the truth. It’s way past time this faulty, and insulting message was corrected for the record, because I have had more than enough of it.
I bet you have, too.
So let’s begin with that truth, which is the mortal enemy of this hideous fascist regime that is currently dismantling our White House. Truth, like America, has been under siege the past ten years by a terrible man and party that lie as they breathe.
So here’s that truth:
Democrats care more about America than Republicans.
Read that again.
Now let’s say that with meaning:
DEMOCRATS CARE MORE ABOUT AMERICA THAN REPUBLICANS.
Feels good to shout that truth, doesn’t it?
So why aren’t we hearing more of this from Democratic leadership?
Why have we ceded this ground to a party led by a lawless convicted felon, who attacked the country we care about by trying to violently overturn an election he lost?
How can THIS odious loser be allowed to get away with his relentless lies that he is making America great again, when he is doing everything he possibly can to destroy it? This whole revolting MAGA movement has been born out of false pretenses and built upon mountains of garbage.
This is gaslighting on steroids, yet we hear almost no pushback from a Democratic Party that should be proud of its decades-long efforts to enrich this country and her citizens. Whether it’s voting rights, equal rights, women’s rights, environmental protections, labor protections, and benefits earned for retirement, the Democratic Party has done nothing but look out for this country and her people.
On the other hand, by his heinous actions, Donald Trump has proven time and again that he hates this country and treats it no better than the countless women he has abused during his worthless lifetime. He is a draft-dodging punk who has never loved anything or anybody but himself.
As I’ve pointed out countless times, waiting for our worthless mainstream media to correct all this for the record, is a waste of of time, but that should not stop us from shouting this out:
DEMOCRATS CARE MORE ABOUT AMERICA THAN REPUBLICANS.
Nearly everything Trump and the vile Republicans have done since gaining absolute federal power in 2024 has hurt Americans, while helping themselves. This is hardly exclusive to the past two years, of course, but they do provide an extreme example of how little Republicans think of Americans, and our country.
Since taking power in 2025, there has been a full-out attack on America’s air, water, environment, government, and affordable healthcare, food, and gas. Instead of safeguarding us from life-threatening diseases like the Measles, they are doing everything they can to spread them.
Understand: A party that says it loves you, doesn’t hurt you, it protects you.
Women’ rights, equal rights and voting rights have been tirelessly battered by a party that carries itself as fascists in words and action, and loathe our Democracy.
Troops have been sent into our streets, and murdering masked agents have indiscriminately slaughtered people, while dragging thousands of others into cages and callously separating little children from their parents.
A party that says it loves you, doesn’t threaten you, it protects you.
Just this past week alone, Trump and his party have once again signaled absolute disdain for our cities, where most Americans live. Trump and his Republicans’ hate for American cities has gotten so bad, that in a repulsive speech Monday night, they actually invited attacks on them from a foreign adversary.
That would make them the enemy of the people. Traitors.
Confidence in our vote—the backbone of any Democracy—has never been lower, and this is all the dirty work of Republicans, who would prefer we never vote again.
The Republican attack on our vote is the most anti-American thing in my lifetime. But what would you expect from a party that hates this country?
No president—let me say this with emphasis—NO PRESIDENT has ever attacked so many American things as this gutless cretan. I should add, too, that no president has been a convicted felon, and spent more time in court than an ambulance-chasing lawyer, either.
And is it any wonder that this lawless, America-hater would pardon the nearly 1,600 traitors who violently attacked our country under his direction on January 6, 2021? He actually told these very people that he “loved” them in the hours following the worst attack on our Capitol since 1812.
Essentially, the criminals in the Republican Party are telling us they are tough on crime, and, man, I have heard enough of this complete bullshit.
Smarmy billionaire tech bros have openly bought off Republican politicians and laid waste to America for their own gains. Does anybody really think for a single second that Elon Musk cares about America? The reprehensible Musk is the most republican Republican ever: A white, male, selfish, abusive, racist lowlife, who assaults our country for his gain.
Even the American flag has been bastardized to further their anti-American agenda, and I have had more than enough of that, too. I loathe nationalism, because frankly it terrifies me, but when I see known bigots flying the American flag it positively turns my stomach.
How DARE they.
Bigots belong in hell, not flying our flag on their front porch.
It’s to the point now where if I see an American flag, I assume the worst, and this just can’t stand any longer. I took an oath and served my country, and know that the values that flag is supposed to stand for are not represented by this anti-American Republican Party.
How many men and women has this grotesque party sent off to war while they waved that damned flag only to return with it draped over their coffins? George W. Bush belongs in jail for his war crimes in Iraq, and now Trump is following in his footsteps in neighboring Iran.
It’s the Republican way.
They just can’t help themselves. They are warmongers for profit, and have absolutely no problem sending our young off to die if it means keeping our bloated military industrial complex in plenty of business.
This insane war on Iran is going so badly right now, we are actually in full retreat, and in far more danger than we were before Trump and his drunken, incompetent, blood-thirsty Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, started it. Under the racist, misogynistic Hegseth, our military is starting to look and act like the Taliban, instead of a cross-section of America’s best.
Don’t you dare tell me that a party that treats the lives of our men and women in uniform with such disdain loves its country, when it is so dreadfully clear they don’t.
The Republican Party is a malignant cancer that is running through the backbone of America, leaving its people hungrier and weaker because of it. Only the filthy rich are better off for their nonstop maleficence.
The Democratic Party has been an imperfect force for good my entire lifetime. It has worked tirelessly to lift up our poor and hungry, while striving to give everybody a shot at living a better life than their parents did.
Has it missed the mark at times? Of course. But it has done so under steady fire from a Republican Party that has proven time and again its only expertise is dragging our best people down, while lifting up its very worst like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
It’s way past time Democrats got the credit they are due, and Republicans the disdain they so richly deserve.
DEMOCRATS CARE MORE ABOUT AMERICA THAN REPUBLICANS.
