The Republican Party is trying to unravel; our Democratic Republic with a group of homegrown American fascists. and tyrants.
Its GOP name was christened in an editorial written by New York newspaper magnate Horace Greeley.
Greeley printed in June 1854: "We should not care much whether those thus united (against slavery) were designated 'Whig,' 'Free Democrat' or something else; though we think some simple name like 'Republican' would more fitly designate those who had united to restore the Union to its true mission of champion and promulgator of Liberty rather than propagandist of slavery."
How can we solve a problem called Republicans?
"What passed for society was a loud, giddy whirl
of thieves and pretentious hustlers, a dull sideshow
full of quacks and clowns and philistines
with gimp mentalities."
-Hunter S. Thompson
“You demagogues are like the fishers for eels;
in still waters they catch nothing,
but if they thoroughly stir up the slime,
their fishing is good;
in the same way
it's only in troublous times
that you line your pockets.”
-Aristophanes, The Knights
"A man who has no mental needs,
because his intellect is of the narrow
and normal amount, is, in the strict sense of the word,
what is called a philistine."
-Arthur Schopenhauer
"You know, the Philistines have long since discarded
the rack and stake as a means of suppressing
the opinions they feared: they've discovered
a much more deadly weapon of destruction
- the wisecrack.
-W. Somerset Maugham
"Nothing is more exhilarating than philistine vulgarity."
- V Sirin
Liz Cheney's "dire" warning against reelecting Trump
Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney says that voters have become increasingly numb to politicians warning of looming dangers to democracy, so in her new book, "Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning," she lays out the case for the threats to the Constitution posed by Donald Trump should he regain the White House. Cheney talks with CBS News' John Dickerson about how the leading GOP candidate's own words reveal his plans for a second term, and why she believes blocking Trump and preventing a Republican House majority in the next election is "the cause of our time."
