		<description>You didn’t mention attacks from White Supremacists, Proud Boys, religious zealots, and the political activism in the Supreme Court and in some of our municipalities, County Governments, State Governments as well as those U.S. Governmental elected members who are working to change our rules of law from their prism into that of authoritarianism, nationalism (including racial nationalism), hierarchy and elitism, and militarism.  These are homegrown terrorists’ and their ideology that does not support health, welfare, and freedoms for ALL the people of these United States. These homeland terrorist are deeply imbedded in the Republican Party at the ruling level.  This current Republican Party has allowed itself to become the party of hate, oppression, and protectors of those who are terrorizing United States citizens so they can dominate and hopefully win the majority of public elections.

Fascism:  Political ideology; a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.  

Republicans like to accuse Democrats of being fascist terrorists however the Democrats have not tried to overthrow the government like the “top” Republican Leader and his Republican followers attempted to do on January 6, 2021.  We now have a House of Representative Speaker who is trying to do his best inside the capital to protect and continue what those homegrown terrorist failed to do….. all to keep his speakership. Having power is so addictive that McCarthy publicly professes his love and loyalty not to the United States of America but to Marjorie Taylor Green, Georgia’s QAnon election denier, a far right crazy conspiracy queen and who has called for the executions of former President Obama, Hilary Clinton and other leaders of the Democratic Party of the United States.  He says he’s never going to leave her side. Let that sink in a bit!  He says he’s never going to leave her!  What an enormous price he is willing to pay just for her help in his acquiring and keeping the Speakership the House of Representatives. 

If you want to cultivate any credibility from my little corner of this world you can start by  publicly denouncing ALL who support the attack on the U.S. Capital, the continuing attacks against the rights of citizens who seek only to legally vote, who seek only to determine the course of their own healthcare, who seek only the freedom to access what books they desire to read educationally and entertainment wise, and who seek only to be treated with respect as individuals living in this country (not just as Americans born in this country or naturalized citizens or immigrants - some legal and some not who work on our dairy’s, farms, as landscapers, or various types of day labors).  ALL are individuals who pay sale taxes on all goods they consume and that DOES support our commerce. Legal or not people don’t deserve to be talked about like yesterday’s trash. Don’t be another cheerleader for MTG and those of her ilk.  Also from my perspective you need to publicly support taxing churches who engage in public lobbying to any person(s) or corporation(s) to further their religious causes against abortions, birth control, etc.  If churches are so concerned with politics, government and public policy let them pay for the price of admission like everybody else.</description>
