@pbump FWIW, #DemocracyInChains by Prof. Nancy MacLean does a very good job of documenting why the #GOP doesn't want democracy, why they don't, and in whose interests it is not to have democracy. (And perhaps also provides insights into why the #GOP is so scared of Critical Race Theory)

I cannot post this enough, sorry for repetition but so essential. . .
"Whether you seek to change government actions on women's rights, civil rights, environment, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Voting rights, gerrymandering, federal courts ---- read Nancy MacLean's thorough explanation of how all these issues have been subject to a stealth campaign. Read Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America."

@stoprak Democracy In Chains is eyeopening was deeply stirring to me for some reason #DemocracyInChains##nancymcclean

6/ "Democracy in Chains" concludes that we have at most two or three years to prevent the complete the stealth of our democracy. The "Kochtopus" tentacles (after billionaires Charles and David Koch) are sunk deep in every nook of American democracy. Read. Discuss. We need know the enemy so that we may be able to make America safe for democracy."

4/"Taxes should be low and only used to maintain the military and national security. Social programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps should be abolished".
Buchanan was well aware that measures to secure this business utopia would not go over well with much of the voting public. His purpose would have to be accomplished by stealth, by gradually undermining and limiting the democratic process.

@DrALJONES that book really impacted me. #DemocracyInChains
#fascism101

@DrALJONES #DemocracyInChains is a must read to understand what is happening now & since 1950s Brown V Board of Education. The basis of #GOP actions is deeply based in #inequality & #racism

Anybody wondering what I*m talking about re #KochNetwork #Cons - some great refs.
