The Backwards March

Kadizzle was educated in a time when data, science, and facts ruled.  Never did it seem possible people would abandon rational thought, and embrace the concept " If you believe it, it is true".  The Republican Party has departed reality.  Truth in the Republican Party is determined by how loud, and how often you say something.  The more bizarre the better.  People used to respect knowledge and enjoy being educated, now they enjoy being scared, and led into the fantasy world of imminent disaster.  The world of proof and research has disappeared.  When Kadizzle was reaching adulthood the nightly news had respectable people talking about real issues in an unbiased way, you did not tune into the channel that told the lie the way you wanted to hear it.  People were not obsessed with guns and afraid of imaginary attacks in the good old days.  Unions helped insure everyone had a fair portion of the pie.  Today greed rules.  We admire the greenest meanest person we can find. His name is Donald Trump.  Once we had presidents that cared about everyone in the country. We had Dwight Eisenhower who warned us about the military industrial complex. We had John Kennedy who inspired us to reach the moon using science. We did not have some Republican dolt saying there is no climate problem and denying evolution.  The Republican Party has marched us backwards so far that we have become a third world country where only a few are entitled to the good things in life. You get ahead by inheritance.  No one has a sense of history about anything except their sports team.  With enough resources to give everyone a decent life we squander the planet so one percent can die from excess.  There is not one Republican candidate for president capable of turning the country around.  If decent people will wake up and point to the evil the Republicans are raining on our country perhaps we can go in the direction were single mothers can make a decent living, where everyone can have health care, where you get ahead not by inheriting, but by working and thinking.  With Republican toxicity the currency of our country is now deceit, pandering, and duping the simple minded.  As a people we should be better than this.
