The new Axis of Evil: Russia, China, N. Korea and the GOP?

Never would I have imagined that the GQP would stoop this low, but it's 2022, an election year, and here we are. Tucker Carlson, the Right's new favorite propaganda mouthpiece, has been actively backing Putin on his Fox News show, saying things like “Why should we stand with Ukraine over Russia?” Well, Tucker, Ukraine is a democracy, like us, and they oppose dictatorship and authoritarianism, the same as us. Ever since the birth of the United States back in 1776 we have stood for democracy, but Tucker and the Right want all that to change. This is not an accident. This is calculated, and it’s exactly what Donald Trump wants. Trump envies dictators like Kim Jong-un of North Korea, Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, Xi Jinping of China, and of course Vladimir Putin of Russia. Trump tried and thankfully failed to stage a coup because he will stop at nothing to get back in power. The danger here does not just stop with Trump and Tucker – Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance proudly said, “I don't care about Ukraine.” First of all, what exactly does that mean? Ukraine is a country of over 44 million people, what do you mean when you say you don't care about them? Second, the only thing President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken are trying to do right now is stop a war from happening. What is it exactly about that goal that has the GQP fuming? The only reasonable conclusion I can come up with is they want to see a war. Warmongers love war, it’s in their DNA. So, when J.D. Vance says things like “I don't care about Ukraine,” what he means to say is, “Let Putin have his way with them; who cares? I sure don't.” Look, folks, the danger that we face if the Republicans take over in the midterms is unlike anything we have ever seen before. When I say things like “Our democracy is at stake,” people sometimes get mad at me; they accuse me of fanning the flames and trying to scare people. Well, guess what? I AM scared! The writing is on the wall. We don't have to speculate or wonder what the Radical Right will do if they take over, they’ve already told us; hell, they’ve been shouting it from the rooftops and all over the airwaves! Their domestic policy wish list: Cut taxes on corporations, privatize Social Security, Medicare, and our kids’ schools. Completely ban abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. Restrict voting rights to a select few and make sure that the rest of us are silenced. And then, when it comes to foreign policy, it appears that the GQP wants to uplift dictators and crush democracy across the globe. Again, I never expected they would stoop this low, but here we are. The question is, what are we going to do to stop them? I know what I plan on doing. I am going to talk to every single person that will listen and share with them our vision for America, contrast it with the GOP's vision, and let them choose. I am building an organizing army of folks who will go into rural America and talk to their friends, families, and neighbors. I really believe that if we can cut through the noise of Faux News misinformation and bring these folks the unfiltered truth, they’ll do the right thing and help us save democracy at the ballot box this year. This work is not easy, and certainly not cheap. But it is honorable, and I am proud to do it.
