The assault on our Democracy today, is entirely funded by the #KochNetwork
CRT, Grooming and all their crisis creation campaigns
Are just cover while they destroy Democracy Worldwide
Almost all of the current Republican policies stem from the teachings of John Calhoun a Slaver and Fierce advocate for the protections of the Self Titled Aristocracy of the South
Democracy for all was abhorrent to them
Southern Elitists felt their economic gains threatened by the civil rights movement
How would they get cheap labor?
They sold the public on “Protecting our Southern Way of Life”.
Although only the top 1% benefited #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
The last thing Elitists needed was an educated poor on their hands
White Superiority fears were part of their attack,
Reeling from defeat, the Virginia elite change strategy to teach a new crop of Republicans at University of Virginia
Enter James Buchanan the future architect, of the #KochNetwork action plan to end Democracy #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Buchanan loved philosophies of the Agrarians and their romanticized leanings to Slavery
Although he had never planted or plowed a field himself, the idea of convict/cheap labor appealed to his economic viewpoints #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Ironically Buchanan's earliest works came from twisting the words of Intellectual left leaning economists.
A tactic the Koch/Republican party has refined and still employs today as the main focus of propaganda #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
A generation of Black/Poor Virginians suffered because Buchanan’s economic policies were so harsh, yet he still argued for no state funding at all
His defense of the 1% was Total War against the working/middle class #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Fringe Ind States Theory was born out of Buchanan/Tullock philosophies of the Southern Elites
Appalled at the repeal of Poll Taxes they never gave up on voter suppression laws
A philosophy of the Koch/Republican party now #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Finding his ideas unwelcome at UV after Goldwaters defeat, Buchanan goes to UCLA where he influenced Reagan's horrible policies on de-funding education, as a means to vanquish liberal ideas and suppress Liberalism. #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Gradually, then suddenly
Republicans are systematically destroying American democracy with the clear objective of replacing it with strongman authoritarianism, a American version of what Benito Mussolini called fascism. #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Gradually, then suddenly
In Chile, Pinochet (with help from Nixon) had already infiltrated and gotten the loyalty of both the police, the army, and the civilian paramilitaries he’d spent the previous few years nurturing. #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Gradually, then suddenly
When Chileans poured into the streets, Pinochet swept them up and held them in the national stadium, where 1ks were tortured, murdered, or simply disappeared. #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#DemVoice1#ProudBlue
Instead of using their tax breaks and record profits to raise wages and invest in their workforces, greedy price gouging and/or union-busting corporations are enriching executives and wealthy shareholders. #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#ProudBlue#DemVoice1
Stock buybacks mostly enrich top corporate executives and other wealthy shareholders. That’s because about 90% of all corporate stock is owned by the richest 10% of Americans; and half of that is owned by the top1% #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#ProudBlue#DemVoice1
Not surprisingly, some of the worst corporate actors that utilize stock buybacks are also price gougers and union busters. Padding profit and CEO and bank accounts, while adding no value to their businesses #ResistanceUnited#wtpBLUE#DemCast#ProudBlue#DemVoice1
Do Republicans have anything to offer the working class?
So far, all we’ve heard is that they want to turn Soc Sec over to the NY banks
& Medicare over to the big insurance companies
Suppress wages and deny union rights #ResistanceUnited#DemCast#wtpBLUE#ProudBlue#DemVoice1
Do Republicans have anything to offer the women of America?
What have R's done for climate change?
Republicans are still taking $Ms from the fossil fuel barons every year and denying climate change even exists,
& actively trying to sabotage any effort to move to a green economy. #ResistanceUnited#DemCast#wtpBLUE#ProudBlue#DemVoice1
Rep Gozar prefers a White pointy robe
to a clown nose…but is still categorized as a clown
During Gozar’s act audience members could be overheard saying.." This guys nuts"
And "WTF did he just say?"
