Im tired of Republicans holstering a gun, holding a Bible, waving a flag, and fooling millions of Americans into voting for them. Im tired of Republicans calling Democrats the tax-and-spend party and promising to get the Democratic Partys big government off their backs.

This is what the Republican Party wont tell you. Their small government comes with eroding what the Democratic Party has created for the middle class. This includes Social Security, Medicare, environmental protections, consumer protections, minimum-wage laws, prevailing-wage laws, overtime pay laws, disability insurance, workers compensation, unemployment insurance, work safety laws, student loans, education funding, job training, affordable-housing programs, flood-disaster insurance, and affordable health insurance for people with pre-existing conditions. In 2016, the Republican House of Representatives voted to cut benefits from our nations most successful education program, the GI bill. On CNN, President Trump said he doesnt support the GI bill.

The liberals dragged Republicans into the 20th century, kicking and screaming with their heels in the mud, fighting anything thats progressive, everything thats made America great. Republicans have never understood that the spending power of blue-collar workers, obtained through Democratic Party policies is what really made America great. Republicans cloak their greedy tax cuts for the rich in religion and patriotism.

Im sick of it. Arent you?
