House Majority Leader Steve Scalise on Tuesday became the latest member of Republican leadership to endorse former President Donald Trump in his latest bid for the White House.

Scalise’s announcement comes less than two weeks before the Iowa caucuses kick off voting in the Republican presidential primary. All of House GOP leadership, except for House majority whip Tom Emmer, has now thrown their support behind Trump.

    Party pushes being American and “Make America Great Again” over helping the citizenry

    Party shows support for a person who has shown to support an insurrection of the US Constitution and openly talks about being a dictator while also complimenting other dictators

    Party advocates for a ton of tax cuts for the rich and businesses while putting the economic pressure on the middle- and poverty-class citizens

    Party is ok with accepting money from corporate entities in order to influence politics in their favor, regardless of how it affects the citizenry

    Party advocates for suppressing the voice of the citizens with some insane district drawing that clearly favors a specific type of citizen and disfavors a ton of others

    Party is in favor for rolling back child labor laws and tries to get retirees back into the work force, and also openly supports controlling birthrates via state-wide abortion bans that citizens can’t contest

    Yeah, I’d say whatever party does all of that is probably fascist - or at the very least, on its way to being fascist.

        Oh yeah - in fact, Democrats also do a lot of stuff the GOP does. However, I’ll support whatever party does see how batshit insane the idea of becoming a corpofascist state is, because unfortunately voting in the US has become “vote against what you don’t like” instead of “vote for what you want”.

        In truth, I wouldn’t be surprised if the US does become a corpofascist state in our lifetimes - we tend to forget that Democrats are center-right while GOP is full-on right-wing, hence why Hillary was chosen instead of Bernie for the Democratic candidate.
