Former GOPer. Civil discourse & critical thinking desired. Truth is essential. Politics, economics, philosophy, history, phrases & quotes with some humor, wit & sarcasm. The chaos of the next 2 yrs will prove necessary to finally correct this MAGA mess.

As a longtime GOPer who became an indy in 2007, I would be classified as a RINO (If I were important). But I believed in limited gov't, free markets, anti-communism & fascism, State's rights and fiscal conservatism, especially controlling deficits & debt. I wasn't a RINO I was a REAL GOPer. No more.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy – everything."

OK, I'll admit it. I don't understand how these inflatable costumes actually work. There, it is said.

I'd bet the farm that all of current day MAGA were anti-fascist in the past. Most Americans were anti-communist & anti-fascist because we loved our democratic republic and the rights/freedoms it guarantees. But now being anti-fascist is deemed a horrible terrorist group akin to Isis. What happened?

Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating?

Folks in red/blue states are losing their ACA premium subsidies & therefore many will lose their insurance. Folks in red/blue states are going to lose Medicaid benefits. The rich in red/blue states are keeping their huge tax cuts. WHILE we give $20++ billion to a friend in Argentina to bail him out.
