During my years working for democracy and to make democracy work in Florida, New York, and the land I love called the United States of America / WE THE PEOPLE, I have often had, out of right field Republicans make some kind of derogatory remarks about Democrats, black folk, immigrants, LGBT+, Jews, and various ethnic groups. I have commonly just sat by and smiled and laughed without being contentious in return. MOST of the time I have done that.

Sometimes I have stood up for the groups of people being denounced. But nobody likes to get into a contentious argument, do they? And I believe the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) just loves to be hostile and openly hostile with no provocation. They are bullies who wish to see how far then can go as bullies. I have also experienced that with bullies who love to bully the gay or “sissies” or “nancies” of the world like me. I have had to take it on the chin.

After all, I witnessed such taunting of black folk in upstate New York after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. Out of the blue, white bastards would taunt black folk. I found it disgusting as a kid. I find it disgusting today.

In Florida, I worked with Democrats who did not give handouts to me with welfare or what not, but respected me enough to recognize my skills and talents enough to lead me on a path towards opportunities for employment. They did not just hand me a job. I earned the respect for jobs.

Originally (1983), when I moved from Upstate New York to Florida, I was living in the only Republican county in Florida: Pinellas County. I was registered as a Republican in New York. I was living during the time when Ronald Wilson Reagan (666) split the Republican Party from one of moderation with Gerald Ford to one of far right ideas and fascist attitudes of “my way or the highway.” Reagan began to weave a fascist dictatorship into the mixture while being a hypocrite in his opposition to the Soviet Union. He was not willing to work with others who disagreed with him and would denounce such people here in OUR nation made up of a community where consensus and compromise were necessary to solver America’s problems together and do so by recognizing how we all fit together. One example, for sure, was his opposition to R&D to solve this new thing (at the time) called AIDS. There were other examples in which he favored Jerry Fallwell and the disgusting group I shall title the “Christian Nationalists” at Liberty Road Baptist Church so as to begin to curtail freedom of religion in favor of a “nationalist” religion made up of hypocrites who were not familiar with the true Jesus Christ. The Republicans in Pinellas County at that time were still connected to the more moderate wing of the Republican Party and disliked Ronald Reagan for splitting up the party during the decade preceding the period I moved to Pinellas County.

I worked for Republicans in Pinellas County to help unseat a person who was a Democrat and sitting in the Florida House of Representatives. When we did door-to-door canvassing, we NEVER EVER had any Democrats in a gang of people who stalked us down the street and told us, “you are not allowed to go door-to-door, even if you are speaking with fellow Republicans.” Never did that EVER happen with Democrats. In the Democratic Party county of Palm Beach, in 2018 when DeSatan was running for governor against a black man, we had Republican gangs on the streets of Palm Beach County tell us, “you are not allowed to go door-to-door to speak with people.” We replied that we were only going to speak to Democrats, so yes, we are allowed to do that. But at that point, it made me feel very bad for going door-to-door in Pinellas County and work to unseat a Democrat in the Florida House. I felt ashamed of doing that after experiencing the BS of Republican gangs in Palm Beach County. That was one big example of what I have come to call the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans). There are other examples on my trip through life up to this moment in time.

I have had Republicans, out of right field (and I use “right” to make a point), call Democrats names. Names such as Dumocrats. I just had it happen TODAY while I was speaking with a Democrat. Typically, I have said nothing but to smile and laugh it off. The Democrat who accompanied me while being stalked in Florida, also a former Republican who HAPPENED to have lived and worked with me in Pinellas County, smiled and said, “yes we do have a right to speak with people and we shall continue.”

Today, my reply was to say, “the word Republican is found in the dictionary between the words, reptile and repugnant.” I have had it with the emotions of illiterate people who call themselves Republicans and get a kick out of taunting others. But unlike the black folk of the 1960s who were taunted by lousy low-life white folk, I try to follow more closely the pacifist remarks and examples of Martin Luther King, Jr. Words like “we shall overcome” and other pacifist remarks are in my vocabulary. The words about reptile and repugnant are somewhat passive remarks, but they only come AFTER someone says something like “DUMOCRATS.” I have NEVER pushed any words at Republicans which come out of “left” field (I might as well use the word left, although I am one of moderation). Never. I have written words about how the Republican Party is actually the American Fascist Party because I have evidence of things being this way with that one-time YANKEE political party which once worked more for moderation in life.

As Democrats in Florida, we never pointed our remarks of “reptile and repugnant” at Republicans. We simply would joke about it among ourselves. “Republican is in the dictionary between reptile and repugnant.” This was sort of like some of my gay friends who thought it to be funny, among ourselves in the gay community,” to speak in a facetious manner about homophobic bullies as being “fags.” Or the manner for black folk to lash out by use of the word “nigger” or “honkey” when speaking about those who disliked black folk.

And what about the Democrats? As a kid, there were the Yankee Democrats and the Dixiecrats. They all attempted to unite into one party called the Democratic Party. Unity was done by means of compromise and finding common ground.

However, the Dixiecrats were a bunch of turds in Dixie with white skin who promoted Jim Crow and lynching of black folk. They were fascists, too. Reagan pulled the Dixiecrats into the Republican (word between reptile and repugnant) Party, thus building a path for the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans). The Dixiecrats are white turds “still fighting the civil war,” as my dad would say in disgust. And Reagan was pulling them into formation as the American Fascist Party while using the name “Republican.” I would more likely call it the Repugnant Party.

It is interesting, too, that there is evidence that Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty has deliberately been appealing to the illiterate emotional ones of America. He does so because he knows they can be enticed by stupidity and lies and not know the difference. MAGA fits this bill very well. I have a shirt which says “the Bill of Rights is not about emotions.” MAGA Maggots and the Man-baby are about emotions and the feelings they have for people who do not fit their framework. Hitler was like that. Mussolini was like that. Hirohito was like that. Stalin was like that. Castro was like that. Mao Tse-Tung was like that. Daniel Ortega was like that. Putin and the leader of Hungary ARE like that today. Leaders in Brazil and Venezuela have been like that. The Taliban is like that. Shall I continue with the list which emanates primarily from HISTORICAL examples from which we as Americans should be LEARNING and not returning to re-live such crap in life, due to emotions.

Hitler’s propaganda minister, Goebbels, said, “if a lie is told over and over again it eventually becomes the truth.” Emotional illiterates don’t know the difference between the truth and lies, so they are easy to impress with lies being told over and over again when it appeals to their emotions. Intelligent people are suppressed by any leadership which resembles Hitler and Goebbels because they are intelligent enough to know the differences and do not become emotional experts or “drips under pressure,” as the illiterate ones are. The Man-baby and MAGA maggots are fearful of such intelligence because they know they can be challenged. So how do these idiots respond? By calling Democrats “Dumbocrats” and doing so with no provocation. Just as the dumb white kids of the 1960s in New York tried to taunt the black kids, these unintelligent illiterate dolts today attempt to taunt those who are intelligent because the dolts are in fear of such intelligence.

In days gone by, we often described those attempting to be “leaders” but lacked intelligence as experts or “drips under pressure.” The Man-baby and MAGA maggots, in attempting to consolidate their power, are nothing but “drips under pressure,” thinking they are experts. They are “experts” only in the narrow-minded knowledge they have and the inability to take a broader overview of situations and how they impact WE THE PEOPLE and not to be narrow and impact ONLY the racist, bigoted, prejudiced billionaire oligarchy.

In my life and career, I have had many Democrats, and not JUST leaders, have had a positive and productive impact on me by providing guidance for the path of life. I have not expected handouts, but certainly I believe and have experienced many people who need that safety net which is provided by SNAP or welfare or other means. On the other hand, I have had leaders of the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) who have taken away from me. Shall I name people? In Florida, Jeb Bush, Rick Scott, Ron DeSatan, Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi. Just a few names but there are more. I can go into detail for all of them. I can also mention Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and the Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty. I have watched as Fascist Republicans have pulled the rug out from beneath other Republicans. For instance, the “victims” of such actions have been Charlie Crist and Mark Foley of Florida. In some instances, I could say I am also a “victim” of such actions. The Man-baby has even attempted to do the same with John McCain. There are others. In a communist dictatorship such actions would be called “purged from the party.”

Then there are those in the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) who, they believe they can rant and rave against Democrats and no one should challenge them on their ranting and raving. Truly, this is an example of fascism and the idea of “my way or the highway” dictatorial procedures. No communication because it’s “my way of the highway.” Attempt to calmly ask the question, “please explain your dislike.” Reply. “I don’t know but I hate them.” But gee. If I had someone I did not like or did not respect, I could explain the reason why. Reply. “Don’t talk to me about this.” But gee. YOU were the one who brought it up and now you just expect of me to accept what you say and with no evidence or facts at all? I call such people “sick puppies.” Whether they are relatives or not, they are “sick puppies.”

As for the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) stealing from me, it began with the employee stock I owned. It was necessary to steal it from me so as to make sure the largest stockholder pockets were bulging with money. There are more examples I have to offer, too. But let me just limit to this one.

At the same time I lose money, I have to listen to Jerry Fallwell or other hypocrites in the “Christians Nationalists” push this idea that the “Ten Commandments should be posted on government buildings.” “Thou shalt not steal” is the Eighth Commandment in the Bible, out of the Ten Commandments. Yet, it is these religious groups who endorse the actions of the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) where stealing by the leaders and the billionaire oligarchy is done all the time. The mere words of “trickle down” by Ronald Reagan indicates a “reverse Robin Hood” trend in which “free markets” opened up the thievery by such folk to do as they want in killing capitalist competition, limiting what people over a certain 6-digit income should contribute into the FICA (Social Security), lay off people and take their stock holdings (as with me), purchase favors of our government (buy elections with PACs and Citizens United) so as to obtain tax credits that hard working Americans who seek opportunities for success, don’t get, and layoff employees so the CEOs get a better salary (it’s not about profit) and we can watch as such CEO salaries have increased by about 1000% over the time that living wages for all have decreased.

Overall, I am fed up with people who make claims that Democrats are “dumb” and do the same thing those in control of the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) do. You are wrong about this and I can prove it. But again, the reply is that “I am not going to listen to you because you might win over my argument.” Really? The only ones who win or lose are those in our society overall. Not me. Not the person who might have a warped outlook of Democrats, so warped they would call us “Dumbocrats” or other names and NOT be willing to humble themselves to learn the facts of the situation. I just outlined the facts over my lifetime. And the only Democrats I MIGHT not care for as much are those who are too wimpy to take a strong stand against the American Fascist Party. Sure. It is nice to be diplomatic and a statesperson.

When the competition is the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) and not a political party which believes in democracy, the very form of government which, for nearly 250 years has made this nation great, in spite of some imperfections along that timeframe, one can no longer be so diplomatic. And that is a tough statement to accept, especially as a TRUE Christian who rejects the heresy of the “Christian Nationalists.” If you are younger ones who have NOT been taught the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution or the words of the Gettysburg Address, you are wishing for something easier in life so you fall prey to the lies of the Man-baby and the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans PLUS the MAGA maggots). Be careful what you wish for, though. Because while consolidating power for a fascist government, in the end, you could end up as Niemoller said of Hitler (and there are different versions of this):

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This is not about a “persecution complex.” It is not about paranoia. It is about considering that we are all human beings who seek opportunities in life. We are all human beings and thus do not live by a barbaric Machiavellian message of “the end justifies the means.” We are all human beings who can be moral and ethical enough so as to obey the 8th commandment about thievery against others, as the billionaires today have done and are attempting to consolidate their power with one political party: the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) or the Repub-DUMBS or the Repugnant Party.

The leadership for the Repugnant Party comes from the money-loving suckers at the top who are evil. The leaderships for the Democratic Party does NOT base its power on the billionaire group. It may HAVE some billionaire supporting it and for reasons of supporting the grassroots, not just themselves (in many cases). The Democrats work to obtain grassroots money. Sadly, Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty wants to eliminate such grassroots financial support becasue he and MAGA maggots are cowards and afraid of competition just as much as the “free market” supply-side Reaganomics folk are afraid of capitalist competition so they use “free market” as a free ride to form monopolies. The description given here is fascism.

The GOP with their fascist MAGA maggots are “too dumb” and the dummies “will fail.” These dummies are a bunch of people with foul mouths who taunt others and such perverts will fail. They are the dumb ones, not the Democrats. Republi-DUMB.

That makes the person today who called Democrats “dumbocrats” to be a repugnant Republi-DUMB just for making such a remark which is not based on facts, only emotions. I have outlined the facts here. And I say to repugnant Republi-DUMBs (of course, your lack of intelligence and you are unable to, as with an alcoholic, acknowledge being such), if you should experience any Democrat who is NOT like I describe here from my many years of experience, then let us know. Seriously. I wish to know who they are who are so troublesome to your dimwitted illiterate emotional ways to such a degree you feel you must make a derogatory remark to a person like me who was simply being positive about life and working towards what is best for all humanity, human equality, and human justice. In other words. Principles for humanity. A DEMOCRAT for a democracy and a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, as our Founding Fathers defined for us and has worked for so many years, in spite of any failures along the road of the timeline of the existence of this nation.

f you think we are “dumb” because we refuse to go along with the billionaires who run our government, then you are wrong because we stand for America “… with liberty and justice for all.” And be careful for what you and other young asswipes wish for (who lack appreciation for what we have in this nation) because if you were to live in a fascist nation with a fascist government and you were to call the leaders of that government, “dumb,” you might be executed or lined up with others and shot down in genocide. THINK.
