"Donald Trump isn’t the destruction of the Republican Party; he is the
fulfillment of everything the party has been saying and doing for
decades. He is just saying it louder and more plainly than his
predecessors and intra-party rivals," according to Neal Gabler on billmoyers.com.
"The real story – one the popularity of Trump’s candidacy has revealed
and inarguably the biggest political story of the last 50 years — is the
decades-long transformation of Republicanism from a business-centered,
small town, white Protestant set of beliefs into quite possibly
America’s primary institutional force of bigotry, intellectual
dishonesty, ignorance, warmongering, intractability and cruelty against
the vulnerable and powerless."
Hierarchies have been in a death struggle for decades, and now it has caught up with them enough that the death struggle is obvious to most people, even if they haven't been following it for years like we have been doing. We live in fascinating times.
