Here are three signs that MAGA Republicans today are sending America straight to hell.
First, Republicans are playing footsie with China again. After Republican Richard Nixon started an American friendship with communist China, we then built China up economically into the military menace it has become today.
Then, for some God-forsaken reason this country went deeply into financial debt to China, which gives them tremendous long-term power over our children and grandchildren.
Now, Trump says of China’s Xi, “I like him a lot.” What’s to like about a repressive totalitarian dictator?
Secondly, when informing Congress about its militaristic efforts in the Caribbean, the Trump administration met only with Republican leaders and excluded Democrat leaders, because it sees them as subversives and criminals, just like brown-skinned immigrants.
Thirdly, MAGA has decided to wage war on “internal enemies,” meaning middle class and poor populations in big cities, who have been expressing themselves at “No Kings” rallies. MAGA is doing this with the combined forces of ICE agents, border patrol, FBI, and state-based National Guard troops turned against their own neighbors.
What a hellhole the president has turned this nation into.
