U.S. POLITICS SERIES ON TWITTER

@rolandwatsonWT

1/27 U.S. politics series - please retweet. I'm an Independent, with both Democrat and Republican sympathies. #savedemocracy

2/27 Democrats: Used to stand for ordinary people, hence support for labor unions, trade protection, and social assistance.

3/27 D - Feeble on foreign affairs. Pacifist. The world is led by dictators. Have to oppose. Can't just hope.

4/27 D - Taken over by Big Money since Bill Clinton. Betrayed its base. Give to Bernie and his supporters.

5/27 D - Experts in weakness, to the point of being un-American. No Home of the Brave for them. Should have fought the Republicans.

6/27 D - Should have attacked obstruction and racism as loudly as possible. Instead, bent over and took it.

7/27 Obama - Perfect Democrat - timid and weak. A disaster in foreign affairs. Under his watch, America lost to both China and Russia.

8/27 Understand he didn't want to be an "angry black," but still. Stand up for yourself!

9/27 Republicans: Limited government, personal responsibility - at least on paper. Pro-military spending; corporate welfare and criminality.

10/27 R - Always controlled by Big Money. Plutocrats. Amazing backers are the poor - poor, uneducated whites. The power of brainwashing.

11/27 R - Became free market, free trade, tax cut true believers. Led the way to ship jobs overseas. (Go Walmart!)

12/27 R - Generally firm on foreign policy - sometimes too firm. Start unnecessary wars (for the U.S.). Bush 2-Iraq 2.

13/27 R - Stood against dictators, at least for show. Now support, to follow corporation line. (Only profit counts. Slavery is great!)

14/27 R - Changed with Neocons and Gingrich. Goal one party control: All three branches, and states. Sacrificed soul for this.

15/27 R - Refused to cooperate to govern; gerrymandered to seize control of House; suppression of Democrat voters.

16/27 R - Now open dictators - "benevolent dictatorship." (Plato's ideal.) "Trust us, we'll do the right thing." No F***ing Way!

17/27 R - Tell Americans how to live. No Land of the Free for us. No democracy - public choices - on guns, women's rights, gays.

18/27 Republicans now the greatest threat to America since the Soviet Union and the Civil War.

19/27 Trump - His election IS illegitimate. Won through Comey electoral fraud. Result should be invalidated and a new vote held.

20/27 T - A "strongman." Amazing Republicans accepted his criminality and incompetence. Proof of their lust for power.

21/27 T - Republicans now have one-party control. Neocons get their wet dream. Be very afraid. The Future of America is at risk.

22/27 T - Won with hate. Media injected like junkie. Reporters understood COI - journalism versus revenue - picked money. (Media are corps!)

23/27 T - Punish media! BOYCOTT CNN, MSNBC! Don't watch, ever! Make ratings fall through the floor. Make them pay!

24/27 T - Opposition must be complete, until Trump is impeached. Resist everything. Protect American democracy!

25/27 T - Silver lining. Democracies degrade. People get apathetic. Need a shock. By opposing Trump we can reclaim our democracy's vitality.

26/27 America needs two thoughtful, well-functioning political parties - two good choices. Now we have none.

27/27 What would George Washington do? #SaveAmerica
