Something else entirely...

 Today's Republican Party really is the party in favor of a Confederate States of America - but as a gateway drug to something entirely else now. The realignment of the old Dixie Democrats happened almost three generations ago, right around the time LBJ signed the civil rights bill. This Republican party is NOT the party of Lincoln. Not even close. I used to say it was the party of Stephen A. Douglas, and it was, for a time. And then, more recently, I used to say that it is the party of Jefferson Davis. That is much, much closer to the truth. But with the rhetoric coming out now from their "leaders," - lets put it this way: There are movies out there - pick any one of them, and you used to draw direct parallels to the German third reich. Search your feelings. Is that still the first thing you think of when you re-watch these movies now? If you're like me, you're thinking of today's republicans (small "r" from this point on, as they are the RINOS, not those these neo-fascists call RINOs). The people in charge of this party will make sure you do not have the right to vote in a meaningful way forever, if they have their way. Think of the sham elections autocratic governments run out there now. Hungary, China, Russia, et al. This is what you will get if today's republican party gets real power. They are close. Oh, so very close. Don't say I didn't warn ya. I said back in August of 2015 on twitter that Donald Trump was a horrible human being, and anyone who votes for him is also a horrible human being. I was wrong then about Donald J. Trump. He's no human being. He's something else entirely.
