Letter To Liz Cheney

 Liz,

The depravity that is Trumpism has been around long before Trump came on the scene. I used to vote a split ticket but now today I vote straight Democrat.  

I may have voted for McCain had he not chosen Palin for VP. I was satisfied with Obama but saw Obama Care as a giveaway to the corrupt Medical Mafia. Since turning 66 and loses my disability eg SSI and Medicaid I am really struggling cause my Humana Medicare Advantage plan is woefully inadequate and may be the death of me. The US pays 3 times the world average for health care yet the quality of US health care is worst among developed countries. The exploitation of human suffering by the medical industry is a form of extortion. The US medical industry isn't called the Medical Mafia for nothing. The mishandling of the pandemic is not entirely on the Orange Menace. 

As to the big lie, the worst part of it is that the depravity required to believe it. I have debated so called conservatives for more than a decade and their disdain for reality smacks of pure evil. Think about this. What if Hillary had 5 kids by 3 different men, paid male strippers for sex, swindled contractors, workers and students and bragged about grabbing men by their private parts? Women do that sort of stuff. I know because when I was young and played in bands it would happen to me and my bandmates.

While I am not a conservative, I understand the need for real Reagan style conservatism but today from a fiscal perspective, Republicans have been the borrow and spenders. At least the the Dem tax and spend.

It is clear to me that unlike so many of today's Republicans, you are moral and patriotic. Like John McCain, you seem to love America. 

The word conservatism is misused today as is liberalism. Neither word in the correct context is a dirty word. In my mind, conservatism today means hate, bigotry and ignorance and to think that MLK was a a Republican is astounding. Liberal has come to mean, "Someone who understands facts."

Liz, another word for fascism is corporatism. Ron Paul and President Eisenhower warned us about that. Uncle Bernie warned us about the billionaire class. 

It has been said that when to people control production we have socialism and when corporation control the government we have fascism. 20 years ago, Ron Paul called what we have now soft fascism. Too bad "Ayn Rand" Paul is such a lying douche nozzle. It's either Jesus or Ayn Rand, you can't have both. 

The problem I have with classical conservatism is that the world changes and things can't always stay the same and we have to adapt and IMO we should be and egalitarian society as the move to socialism is inevitable. The disparity in wealth in America is obscene. Rich man - Eye of Needle - Camel. The CEO of Humana get paid $18 million per year.  What will happen if the Trump mob figures out that the people who work in the US Capitol and merely errand boys and girls for their corporate masters?  I suspect that it will make the French Revolution look like a pillow fight.
