The Republican Party is only committed to maintaining its own power. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is rapidly becoming the American fascist party.

@rbreich
At what point do we stop telling ourselves "...it's becoming..." and start admitting it's here?
What's the tipping point? When will they have gone too far?

@rbreich
The #Republican Party is “rapidly becoming?”

That ship has sailed, the #GOP IS the American #Fascist Party. They are rapidly becoming the #FourthReich.

@rbreich It became the fascist party years ago, but no one paid attention to the signs of fascism that included but are not limited to, scapegoating people of color, the LGBT community, democrats and non-evangelicals.

@rbreich The GOP has been openly working towards fascism for generations now.

We got marginalized and called alarmist for saying so the entire time. We're proven right over and over and still people who should know better are minimizing the danger.

Fascism is here. Fight it every way you can.

@rbreich as soon as they gave up following any formal planks to a party platform, they swung fascist.
it is right before us but we are too afraid to see it for what it is.

blind ambition with no direction must fall back on a hierarchy to set any course. they are rudderless without a leader to tell them what they want. so they fall back on the base instincts rather than try to see the civilization for what it is.

@thedemocrats really need to take the fight into the red states.

@rbreich Amerika's AKP(Justice and Development Party) LoL
@rbreich You’re correct Mr. Reich, the actions of the GOP show an unapologetic brazen party willing to use any means necessary to grab the controls of government including gerrymandering, voter suppression by restricting certain types of ID, closing polling stations at colleges, restricting voting by mail, outlawing ballot drop boxes forcing voters to use an unreliable post office.
@rbreich It’s not “becoming”!! It IS the American Fascist Party!! America has three main political parties, let’s not kid ourselves!! Democratic, Fascist, and the smoldering remains of the Republican!! MSM should up it’s game and report that fact!
@rbreich I think that can be said of many, if not most, politicians. But the GOP has, indeed, been perfecting it.

@rbreich

It is what they are about it seems, grabbing power and clinging to it. Truly undemocratic and vile… such attitude does only belong in autocratic regimes and should be fought with all means.

@rbreich Now, if the Democratic party had not been playing "lets keep power together" game with the GOP for so long, pushing real democracy down, maybe we would not have gotten to this point?

As horrible as the GOP is now, we cannot ignore the fact that the Dems have assisted in getting us there, by opposing changes to the democracy model that most every other democratic country has implemented.

You never really had a democracy. This is the logical conclusion.

@rbreich please stop saying it’s becoming fascist - it clearly openly is
@rbreich becoming? I think you messed up the tense

@rbreich It is the American fascist party. There are no redeeming characteristics remaining in this once proud patriotic Conservative Party.
