Progressives, no matter where found, must understand, and not forget, that the REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT EXISTS TODAY IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST. THOSE WHO HAVE LED THE CHARGE TO NOMINATE DONALD TRUMP, ARE FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF EXTREMIST FACTIONS WHOSE RISE TO POWER WITHIN THE PARTY HAS BEEN DRAMATIC. IT HAS ALSO BEEN THE RESULT OF THE PARTIES INCREASING USE OF INTOLERANT AND HATE-FILLED PROPAGANDA TO STIGMATIZE THE OPPOSITION, AND MISLEAD THE PUBLIC.
The Problem for the REPUBLICANS, was the Idea that these FACTIONS could be Utilized for the benefit of the Party as a whole, but needed to be controlled and prevented from attaining too much power and influence within the Parties Hierarchy. When needed they could be Mobilized for Money, Votes, Voices on Radio, Demonstrations, or any Party need that could not be satisfied Through Normal, Traditional, Intellectually Honest or Morally Commendable Channels.
These Factions Include Individuals who could be Described in the following ways:
- RELIGIOUS ZEALOT.
- RADICAL ISOLATIONIST.
- ECONOMIC BIGOT.
- ANTI- INTELLECTUALIST.
If you look carefully at these groups, you will find that they have one common Historical THREAD IN COMMON: THE DESIRE FOR A FASCIST FORM OF GOVERNMENT THAT DESTROYS THE CONCEPT OF A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
Now, they're Racists, Bigots, Homophobes, Xenophobes etc.,, to be found in every walk of life. However, in the Republican Parties case, They now call the shots by setting Policy, and promoting certain Individuals as Candidates to Nominate for the Upcoming Election.
...AND DONALD TRUMP IS THEIR LEADER...,
