"As we watch the Trump campaign prepare to replace 50,000 civil servants with
fascist toadies if he wins the White House, it’s important to remember that
Dwight Eisenhower was the last Republican president who believed in democracy,
the rule of law, and that government should prioritize what the people want.
From 1960 to today a series of leaders within the Republican Party have
abandoned the democracy that American soldiers fought the Revolutionary War to
secure, the Civil War to defend here at home, and World War II in Europe and
the Pacific to defend around the world.
This has brought us a series of criminal Republican presidents and corrupt
Republican Supreme Court justices, who’ve legalized political bribery while
devastating voting and civil rights.
None of this was a mistake or an accident, because none of these people truly
believed in democracy."
