Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling.

The GOP began as a party of ideas, economic growth, unity, and modernization.

No more.

It’s focused on ruling: dismantling checks, spreading disinfo, and entrenching minority power.

Gingrich’s “Contract with America” and Fox News normalized politics as warfare, not governance.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Republicans, the government has shut down.

It's more important for Republicans to protect pedophiles than to protect hard working Americans. After all, they're rich and can weather the storm while a majority of Americans cannot.

The critique emphasizes that the military is supposed to be apolitical and unified, not divided by BS partisan rhetoric. Finally, while acknowledging U.S. military strength, the speaker calls the Secretary’s tone arrogant and self-congratulatory.
