The following sentiments best describe Donald Trump’s disturbing ideology:
“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer” “A sucker is born every minute”, “America is a white Christian country”, “Dictators are smart, mean, strong and next door. That I admire”, “Rich people are smart, poor Not people. I like smart well”, “Only I can fix it.”
Autocracy, arrogance, racism, and mental instability ooze from every aspect of Trump’s personality and ideals. Republican Rick Scott said “Trump will be America’s cancer” and he was right. Among the human tumors he has created that are destroying our democracy are: Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican Marjory Taylor Green, Republican Matt Gaetz, Rudy Guiliani, Steve Bannon, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Fox News conspiracy theorist Tucker Carlson, white nationalists, militias Group, Elon Musk and every silent Republican member of Congress to name just a few.
America has never had a president and first family as criminal, cruel, barbaric, rude, drug addict and dangerous as Trump. Forbes magazine reported on December 23, 2019, “In a masterpiece reporting by Dan Alexander that Eric Trump, at the behest of his father, the future president, transferred money to the Trump Organization to help children with cancer. Following this story, the New York Attorney General announced an investigation. And Alexander’s work won a Deadline Club Award for Best Business Feature.”
Despite other examples of brutal, criminal activity under Trump’s leadership, the current Republican Party stands by him. His premise, not seen as the brightest of bright thinkers, denies factual evidence and personal admissions by Trump himself that he has committed crimes and grossly immoral acts against American citizens. Here are examples of why those who still support Trump’s pursuit of the presidency are unpatriotic and a danger to the survival of democracy.

The list of legal violations, ethical misconduct and unethical acts extends beyond the above examples. Republican leaders must lead their party out of the Trump rabbit hole of corruption and tyranny. GOP members of Congress must grow a spine, reject Trump, and reject all maga surrogatesS.
The GOP must reject the ideology of alt-right extremism. It’s not about conservatives becoming Democrats. It is about rejecting racism, white nationalism, violence, misogyny, religion in government and the transformation of democracy into dictatorship.
