GOP becoming a fascist party
To the Editor:
I have seen banners and bumper stickers that read, “Socialism or Freedom.” I would hardly call the Republican party the party of freedom. The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 want to take our freedoms away.
They want to tell women what they can/cannot do with their bodies, what teachers can/cannot teach, what books libraries can/cannot offer, who you can/cannot love and not to mention what religion you can/cannot practice! I fail to see the freedom part.
If the GOP wants to call the Democratic party socialists, then they need to be referred to as Fascists! The Webster Dictionary definition of Fascism: “a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.”
I find this a radical discrepancy that Democrats are referred to as socialist but the Republicans are the party of freedom? Trump himself has said: “vote for me and you will never have to vote again!” If you do not find that horrifying, you should.
