The
orange menace is at the center of a Republican party that exists only
for it's own benefit. 45 was the nominee of a Republican party that
had made a right turn so hard that they wound up going backward in
time and civility; of it's accord. It is not now, nor was it ever,
accidental.
Somewhere
around the middle of the 20th century the conservatives turned to the
self-serving perspective that they, and their wealthy benefactors,
deserved credit for the success of the United States... That
began a process that needed to discredit: facts, science, evidence, etc.. The things that would easily demonstrate that
they were wrong.
There's
enormous amounts of information from: the first, of many, public
schools to the first (the University of Virginia) of many public
universities; the transcontinental railroad and the interstate
highway system, etc... Projects that the US government has
driven that allowed the nation to thrive.
To quote from JFK's speech given, in 1962, at Rice University in Houston, TX, "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things... because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept..."
The goal was set and the process was driven by the US government, as was a group of organizations known as the FFRDC (Federally Funded Research and Development Centers). The rich Americans did, in fact, not create the power house that is the United States of America, they did benefit massively from a society and a government that had literally paved, continues (with the current 45 administration's exception) to pave, the way for their success.
So when 45 and his sycophant Republican party repeatedly, "bend, fold, spindle and mutilate," the truth in the name of, what is very politely called, "unenlightened self-interest," they continue a push back in time to feudalism (a.k.a., laissez-faire capitalism, the dark ages) so that they might crown themselves Aristocrats (Lords and Ladies) of the realm where theft in the name of self promotion is acceptable...
It is truly not new. It is, in fact, a return to a very dark period of our history where chaos could, and did, reign supreme.
