Donald Trump and his hypocriticl cult are now stuck with his priority revenge policies.

 GOP’s march to tyranny finds its ultimate success with Trump

Echo opinion letter published in the Boston Globe:

The Purge begins.

The Republican Party‘s relentless march toward repressive, divisive, bigoted policies began with the Tea Party movement and found its ultimate success with the rise of an unhinged, immoral cult leader.

Donald Trump and his lily-livered, hypocritical apologists have transformed the party creed from one that celebrated private freedom, social responsibility, and fiscal temperance into one that defines personal freedom based on their narrow white Christian lens, demeans the value of helping those less fortunate, and dismantles policies that grow economic opportunities in order to satisfy the avarice of wealthy people and institutions seeking to minimize taxes and limitations on their pursuits.

As with previous Republican administrations, Trump’s policies are bound to send our economy into a tailspin and hurt the aggrieved working class who helped put him in office.


Trump’s second term will demonstrate the existential danger of the Republican Party he leads. Words, facts, and appeals to long-held values and moral codes have had little or no impact on this drift into tyranny. The pain of promised punishment of Trump’s detractors, rising inequality, international disgrace, and deteriorating communities, environment, and living circumstances that follow may be the only cure for the mindless angry fervor that has gripped half of the American voting public.
