POSSIBLE REASONS PEOPLE SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND FASCISM

POSSIBLE REASONS PEOPLE SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND FASCISM

It is quit normal to want things your way.  It is a bit more sophisticated to listen to other people’s ideas and wishes and take them into consideration to measure both your ideas with other people’s.

Fascists are typically politicians and individuals who are self centered and want to promote their own selfish gains to achieve rewards at the expense of the broader society.

Fascism seems to be a bit more exciting than the workings of Democracy, thus the attraction for some people.

Fascism appeals to the immature which goes along with low intelligence.

Some people are only concerned with themselves and have little regard for others.  Fascism fits this pretty well.

Some individuals think that having a dictatorship would be more entertaining than the slow quiet plodding of having a Democracy!

Fascism is self centered ideals that negate serving the broad inclusive society.

At the core may be a poor or flawed education.

Very poor history appreciation leading to poor understanding of why fascism is bad for society.

People in the USA read at 6 grade level which flaws one’s education.

According to The Literacy Project, the average American reads at a 7th–8th grade level, which is equivalent to 12–14 years old. However, most content is written at a 10th grade level or higher.

Individuals support white supremacy for self centered ego needs and fail to understand that we are all equal.

Some information organs seem to support fascism.

Christian right beliefs may contribute to beliefs in fascism.

(Book: American Fascists,Chris Hedges, veteran journalist and author of the National Book Award finalist War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, challenges the Christian Right’s religious legitimacy and argues that at its core it is a mass movement fueled by unbridled nationalism and a hatred for the open society.)

What Is The Attraction Of Fascism?

What Is The Attraction Of Fascism?

Some Factors Of Fascism:

  • You can be ignorant of history and thus fail to understand how your decisions and operations might not work.
  • You can have very little compassion for the interests, health and welfare of others.  You are self centered intellectually.
  • You think your decisions are more important.
  • You are attracted, enticed, with what little you know about former fascism elements and governments and how they are wrong for societies.  You may be attracted to having tight control and not understand you loose society input.
  • You understand that your abilities working from within a democracy are rather pale.  Less chance for success when you have to work within an intelligent group of people.
  • Fascism might be seen as the best method for rather quick political gain and maintaining your gains.
  • Fascism is usually attractive for the insecure individual.
  • Self centered and selfish intentions planning and actions can more easily be started to finish under this form of dictatorship.
  • Fascism officially controls information release to the public including truth and lies as a means to control the political situation.
  • Fascism is believing my ethnic, religious group, is superior and my group should get more politics and legal rights than other groups.

  • Racial equality.
  • Liberalism.

Fascism Supports:

  • Self centered interests.
  • Inequality.
  • Discrimination.
  • Nationalism.
  • Racial purity.
  • Democracy almost requires, thrives, with a population that has a good education.  Fascism seems to flourishes within a low education population.
  • Fascism, in some instances, exists in countries that has varied ethnic groups that make gaining political consensus difficult.

Other Factors:

  • Government by the wealthy, plutocracy, typically supports Fascism because the wealthy do not want to include a broader class of the population.

Reasons To NOT Vote For The Republican Party

Reasons To NOT Vote For The Republican Party

One of the primary, somewhat secret, obligation of the Republican Party is that it functions to enhance the rich class of people, the plutocracy class and not, you, the general population.  

“The main reason Billionaires practice stealth politics, Page says, is that taken collectively, their political preferences do not align with what a majority of Americans want.  Their near total silence on issues like taxes and Social Security is “almost certainly deliberate — probably caused mainly by a desire to avoid offense concerning their unpopular political opinions.” This makes it easier for them to avoid being held accountable.”
(Copied from 
The New York Times Magazine, With ‘Stealth Politics,’ Billionaires Make Sure Their Money Talks, Published April 6, 2022)

There are reasons why anyone might support a political party which works against the people of the United States.  Let me list a few reasons from the viewpoint of a corrupt politician:

  • Vast amounts of money is offered by the plutocrats to help fund a GOP political campaign.
  • Alleged secret payments of money could be made to be an added incentive.
  • The plutocrats most often possess significant political power, other than money, to help their candidate get elected.
  • Plutocracy philosophy can attract some individuals to follow their mission.

There are a lot of factors that result out of this belief system.  For the reasons listed below, do not vote Republican because that political party mainly works for the betterment of the small group of wealthy individuals and they do not care for what is best for the whole American nation.  

The GOP politicians usually receive large donations from their benefactors.  One example is a contrived political action group called the Federalist Society headed by Leonard A. Leo.  

The Supreme Court is a big part of this alleged corruption exemplified with the ruling in Citizens United which allows money that is not recorded, thus secretly used, so as to rig the political system in the favor of the rich.  

The GOP has become a rather despicable self serving party by working to serve the needs of the plutocracy who, most of the times, works against the best interests of the nation.  Here are just some of the examples of it’s corrupt ideology actions:

Welfare:

“The Republican Party opposes government run welfare programs for the poor, believing it encourages laziness and dependence on the government.”

Bigotry:

Republican attitude toward some segments of the new American population is that those segments are perceived to be below expected normal standards by some minority of individuals.  

  1. Immigrants and minorities typically have lower financial success because they are newly arrived and it can take a long time for anyone new to this country to achieve parity.  Immigrants often live quite a distance from the middle and upper class which adds to feelings of distance.  
  2. Immigrants and minorities often look a bit different, may speak differently, might dress differently which adds a small perceived factor of fear in the minds of some people.  
  3. Group membership within the broad electorate should not be added to by these new “strange” individuals who do not fit perfectly with what the GOP think their group should look like.  This feeling of not connecting, may lead to opinions of bigotry.
  4. Some GOP individuals may be concerned that “my nation” might change from their perceived current norm.  This change comes about by allowing too many of other type individuals to change the current group image in some way.  A small sense of fear that “my country” will change can promote a belief in bigotry.

Women.  

The existence of men and women, most of the time, appears to be equal and deemed necessary for the continuation of the humane race.  But women are so different from men in so many ways which can lead to some male sexism, a mild form of bigotry.   It seems that child birth is rather unusual because the birth process is mainly an all women effort and men are just witnesses to the process.  But, for some rather stupid reason, men seem to hold a bigotry belief that they can decide when and how a women can bear a child.  Because a man is a partner with a wife, men do have a voice but for child birth, a husband should realize that he must bow to the needs of his spouse.  Politicians therefore, must allow a women to have an abortion and stay away from this decision process.  Women were created free and should be free to decide their own future.  More Republicans push for abortion bans without rape, incest exceptions.

Race:  

Republicans feel that white men are supreme to non whites.  This typically comes from fear of anyone not possessing the same skin color as themselves.  Because the United States population mainly has white skin, silliness sets in over any perceived difference from white.

Republicans some times work to minimize the voting power of minorities in an effort to suppress those who it feels do not fit the perceived mold of what is akin to themselves.  This is rather silly because how a person votes is believed to stem from skin color?

Taxes:

Republicans seemingly most important self serving issue is to lower what the wealthy have to pay in taxes.  In part this is because the super wealthy do have to pay a lot of money out of their vast wealth.  This is a huge concern for the wealthy.  Because the plutocracy seems to work hard to take over the United States from being a democracy and move it to being a fascist state, we should gain control over these pending fascists and raise their taxes so they can no longer use money to overturn our form of government.

Business:

Republicans believe that there should not be any large government programs such as Social Security and Medicare which helps the general population of  citizens but that such programs should be privatized so that some plutocracy business can make a profit for performing that social program. This is just another example of corporate and plutocracy greed.

Unions:

Republicans work to rid and diminish the power of unions because unions work for the interests of the workers and not always for the interests of the business owner.  Unions are viewed, by some plutocrats, as working against the interests of the rich.  A good business person should always examine all aspects of their business to maximize profits.  Working against unions should NOT be one of those efforts because the worker is an integral part of any business and is as important as the owners and managers.

Education:

Republicans seem to show a disdain for higher education administered at the federal level. 

The GOP reasons that education should be run by each  state not federal administered.  Problem with this is that this avoids a national standard that all education systems must adhere too.  Too many states seem to be corrupted by the GOP, which is why a national standard is necessary.

 

Health Care

Gun Control

“The share of voters who support stricter gun control laws has reached a new high, with more than two-thirds of Americans backing them, a new Morning Consult/Politico poll finds.”

 

GOP Attempts To Control State Elections

The pervasive myths of a stolen 2020 presidential election and widespread voter fraud are still dominant in many state legislatures, as Republican policymakers call for more investigations and reshape election administration in a way that could give them a partisan advantage.

 

Some Concern That Fascism Is Part Of Republican Party 

 The actions of some Republicans allied to former President Donald Trump fit the definition of fascism, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Friday, a day after President Joe Biden said they edged toward “semi-fascism.”

 

Summary

Do not vote for the Republican Party because they work for and support the plutocracy.   Vote GOP is a vote for fascism.  Please save this nation by moving it back toward being a true Democracy again.  Vote for Democratic candidates.  And stay informed.

Manchin And Sinema Possible Intentions

Manchin And Sinema Possible Intentions

There are two current Democrat senators, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who appear to be trying every avenue to thwart the Biden agenda to vastly improve the planet from climate devastation, improve the crumbling US infrastructure and improve the lives of most citizens.  Why would anyone impede this terrific positive political move forward?  Let me list some possibilities for you to consider: 

#1). Are they working for the plutocracy class to turn the United States into a fascist country by making the Democratic Party look to be a failure?

Evidence:  

#2).  Looking at the past actions of Manchin and Sinema, it seems quite clear that both are doing their best to make themselves happy, reward themselves, and not consider  how to do their paid job to better for the whole nation.  It is all about themselves and very little for the people they represent.

Manchin: 

Sinema: 

“Sinema is clearly still drunk on her own power, and maybe the power of her new best friends in private equity and in Silicon Valley that she now gets to pal around with.”

 

  • Thumbs down to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
  • Holdout for scrapping the filibuster.
  • Fails to support President Biden’s agenda.

Sinema has received “a big assist from the pharmaceutical and financial industries, whose political action committees and top executives stuffed her coffers in the middle of negotiations on Democrats’ massive infrastructure and social spending bills.” 

Summary:  It is possible that both Manchin and Sinema honest intention is to not work toward moving the United States being a fascist country but it still remains that their possible stupid actions are working toward that end.  In any case, they seem to be working toward their own self interests and not for the whole nation.

Consider What You Can Do:

  • Work toward impeaching both Manchin and Sinema.
  • Do everything to diminish the power of the plutocracy actors and organizations that have supported these two politicians.
  • Consider not doing any business within the geographical area where each senator represents their constituents.   If the voters in Manchin’s and Sinema’s political districts support politicians that work against what is best for the rest of us, then why not stop offering any personal support to people and business within those geographical areas?  Do not stay in hotels and motels in those areas.  Do not buy products that are manufactured or sold in those districts. 
  • If both Manchin and Sinema vote to support President Biden’s Build Back Better plan and it passes Congress then Score Card will remove this post.
