The Fall of the Republican Party and the Rise of American Fascism

The party of Ronald Reagan, both George H. and W. Bush, along with many others who have influenced America in various ways, is no longer the party familiar to Americans. By choosing to align with Trump, despite several previous derailments, the party was entirely transformed.

It also doesn't come across well when you say, "We're racist. We don't want your children to learn about our past actions or future intentions. There's nothing to see here, and as long as you remain uneducated, listen to your preacher, and hate those we direct you to, you can work for us until you die."

Expressing those ideas openly to others isn't very attractive. It's crucial for the GOP to soften their messaging and generate numerous distractions using social issues such as gun rights, LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, and border protection. This approach keeps their base preoccupied with these topics, preventing them from considering how the policies might be negatively affecting them.

The distinction between Republicans and Democrats used to be straightforward: Republicans were seen as representing the wealthy, while Democrats were perceived as advocating for everyone else. It was truly that simple.

Under Donald Trump, the Republicans have adopted the appearance and persona of their leader. It's not surprising that we frequently see party members being arrested for sexual assaults or the rape of minors, employing hate speech similar to that of white supremacist groups, or blatantly refusing to honor their oaths of office.

The GOP has essentially become the Guardians of Pedophiles. Protecting their leader from releasing files we all know will show Trump to be who he has always been, a long time sexual abuser of women at least, and at most a cereal pedophile who used his power to rape, abuse, and force girls as young as 13 into sex.

For almost a year, they have controlled all three branches of government, and the nation is increasingly sinking into debt, inflation is increasing again, many cities have become a police state, and we are now an international embarrassment.

The party that once advocated for small government has transferred all its power to Trump. They fail to contest any of his illegal executive orders, ignore the obvious corruption visible to everyone, and have surrendered their authority to an aspiring dictator.

At any other point in American history, Trump would likely be imprisoned for the treasonous coup attempt, and no President would ever claim they would be the last president of the United States. Meanwhile, the vice president overlooks GOP officials who were exposed in a leaked chat thread discussing their admiration for Hitler, advocating for gassing people, and engaging in various other violent hate speech for a period of seven months.

The Vice President stated, "I truly don’t want us to live in a nation where a child making a foolish joke, even if it's highly offensive, results in ruining their lives." This comment, made on air, was in reference to the Young Republican leadership I mentioned earlier. I want to ensure clarity about the events that took place.

The Young Republicans is an organization for individuals aged 18-40 who are emerging members of the party aiming to enter politics. The leaked chat originated from the leaders of this group. These individuals are not "kids" at all; they are in their late 30s, and the chat wasn't a single instance of a foolish, racist comment. It was a continuous conversation that spanned seven months.

The chat was filled with racist, vile, and appalling remarks from the next generation of Republicans who aspire to lead the country someday. How does it feel knowing that the upcoming wave of Republican leaders might be white supremacists?

This is the direction the Republican party is heading under Trump. It's not a brand new direction either. Ronald Regan was backed by the Evangelical church. They wanted to become more involved in politics and take control of the US and turn us into a theocracy.

Regan was not able to fulfill their full agenda, but Trump might, if not stopped. It is not hyperbole to say Trump is turning the Republican party into a fascist ideology party. One that worships him, and refuses to denounce or push back against anything Trump says.

It's disgusting watching their round table ass kissing sessions of Trump. Each person in his cabinet taking turns to praise his work and everything he does. It's the kind of thing you see in dictatorships around the world. Where no one has the courage to say, no sir you're wrong. Because of that America is becoming weaker by the day.

In my opinion, the Republican party has always opposed the American people. Their focus is solely on corporations, as large corporations can provide them with substantial financial support. These individuals, if allowed, will become the future leaders of America.

In 2025, we've witnessed America regress significantly. Their next target is dismantling the Civil Rights Act. They aim to eliminate anyone who could vote against them, just in case Trump fails to completely overthrow democracy.

If you're a decent person who has identified as a Republican over the years, it might be time to reconsider before you find yourself supporting the new Nazi-Republican party. Although they've been vilifying the left for a long time, have you ever questioned why?

Why would they attack fellow Americans in such a manner? Do they claim we don't love America? We do. We cherish it so much that we refuse to let it fall into the hands of a dictator intent on destroying 250 years of freedom, democracy, and empowering the people.

Do they say we think we're superior to you? We don't. In fact, the rights we continuously fight to uphold are your rights too. While they're currently stripping them from people of color, eventually, they'll target your rights as well. That's how it works.

We, at Countervailing Power, advocate for a new approach. We invite those who are not billionaires to join our cause. If you believe in eliminating government corruption, join us. If you believe the working class of Americans deserves better-paying jobs, join us. If you believe in your right to be free from a government that takes away your rights, join us.

If you believe in science over ignorance, that healthcare should be a guaranteed right rather than something that can bankrupt you if you fall seriously ill, that all people deserve to live in a place free from oppression and violence, and that we should strive to support our neighbors and live in a community that helps one another in various ways, you should join us.

We are Countervailing Power, and we denounce the Trump regime. We aim to become the counterbalance to the wealthy interests currently controlling our government.
