Traveling from Then to Now, I'm looking for ways to explain how a simple world, appearing complex, is still simple. Trust Yourself. Not the famous, rich, glamorous, lionized or glorified.
The history of The Republican Party, the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 and Donald Trump.
How we got to 1933 in 2025.

And the similarities to HOW Trump rose to power and what he has done in his first year:
1933 and 2025 are eerily similar.

Republican Party was ripe for embracing Nazis and segregationists. From "Mr. Republican" through Barry Goldwater, to Ronald Reagan, George Bush (both), to Trump.
It isn't a conspiracy theory, but documented by the Party and the think tanks that support them.

religion when others are avowed atheists. Others simply didn't know.
My friend at the RNC thinks he's supporting an old VIEW of "Republican conservatism," without examining what "conservatism" and the Republican Party are, and how they've diverged. And when.
History tells you. It tells how the

EXACTLY, why and what my positions are, and I've persuaded many of them to either change their positions, or mute their absurdities.
Some have argued about their fears of "socialism," while working for companies and wondering why rent keeps escalating but wages don't.
Others have argued about

predominantly voting Democratic, but the push and pull of urban discourse, the diversity of opinion is far greater, simply because there are more viewpoints.
I live in NYC and have friends who supported Trump, and even works for the RNC in Washington. But we know each other's views. They know

I know that people in smaller communities, farm, rural, Western and Plains states like to think of themselves as "Independent," but you aren't, if you consistently vote Republican when you don't KNOW the person you are voting for.

For people across this country claiming to be "Independent."
True "Independence" is a greater responsibility than either Party. You have to "independently" learn, and know, each person you vote for, the implications of your vote, and the consequences.
You can't be both "Independent" AND

Just like Nazis, they have to actively be resisted, constantly.
But these Nazis are funded and protected by the Republican Party. (Government was recently ceded to the Republican Party by "Independent" voters who either didn't vote, or voted for Republicans.)
I say this so that Republicans

Choices of both acceptance or refusal - a choice.
True Freedom - is Choice. If Socialist cannot make the argument in a democratic Society, they won't be favored.
But democracy, is offering THE persuasive argument, and delivering.

"Life" may have importance, but how a Life is lived, what Choices are made by individuals, guide their entire lives.
Capitalism, also is a Choice of "responsibility" to see that all stakeholders (customers, employees and owners (or investors)) are treated fairly in balance, as each has to make

Society is going to be "equal" with Socialism, as opposed to "a responsibility of a government "of the people" to provide a "floor" of survival. They view it differently.
If people understand that in any religion "sanctity of life" is not as important as "Choice." They see religion differently.

When you zoom out on anything - any position at all. It is the "culture," that guides adjustment or acceptance of abortion, socialism, and even capitalism.
HIDING facts, Lying, gaslighting, is part of managing the cultural issues in decision-making.
For instance - if people believe that all

All kids should be hit in the face with a baseball to learn the difference between fiction and Real Life.
I love fiction. I love stories. I love fictitious characters, but I've been hit in the face with baseballs.

They claim that "Free Speech" allows them to Lie and spread their lies. It is our job to enforce that "Free Speech" is met with unending barrages or Truth and Facts. SHUT THEM UP!

Attacking every person who tries to justify indiscriminate murder should be exactly what every person on this planet should be doing.
Whether butchering villagers, bombing boats or high-rise buildings in Kyiv or shooting people in the face. Please continue forcefully pushing back. Put them back

Just to be clear, I've despised self-avowed "Liberals" and "Progressives," and "Conservatives," and "Independents," for arguing the same thing.
I would challenge any of these self-described people to argue the "both sides," or "all politicians" argument. Tell me, as an "Independent," why you

Every single one of those "Conservative Justices" were nominated and confirmed by a Republican president and Senate.
Try telling me that "both sides" are the same.
It bothers me when any person of color tells me that both a segregationist and POC are "the same." "Two arms, two legs - same?"

UNACCEPTABLE. I cancel Liars.
Not DEI, but Lying Republicans.
I might not agree with Liz Cheney or other former Republicans, but I can respect anyone who steps up to take responsibility, instead of trying to blame people you shot and killed.
