Republicans undo FDR values

Kelley Ann Conway talks about alternative facts, Giuliani says truth is not truth.

Similarly, Connecticut Republicans warn about huge deficits, but promise massive tax cuts. Revenue shortfall will impact public employee pensions, schools, welfare, and even health care. This has failed in other Republican states: Kansas, Indiana, Michigan, Louisiana, etc.

Typically, Republicans make it harder to vote, bust unions, loosen gun controls, privatize everything including schools, break the wall between church and state, allow discrimination again, make safe abortion inaccessible, but inflate corporate welfare and the military.

Trump’s racism has produced a humanitarian crisis, motivates his border wall and combined with disdain for democracy is a force for fascism. Republicans continue to undermine U.S. health care, though bringing costs in line with other developed countries would save plenty. Climate denial sets us on a path for destruction. Republicans goose-step to Trump exceptionalism, authoritarianism, corruption, or Russian connections.

Republicans reversed FDR’s high values. They have only disdain for the U.N., the agenda 21 move for sustainability, the universal Declaration of Human Rights.

FDR built infrastructure, stabilized the economy after the Great Depression, fought fascism, but failed to implement the Second Bill of Rights, which is remarkably similar to Bernie Sanders’ proposals. Robert L. Vogel East Lyme
