Laurence O'Donnell wrote this bit for the TV show "The West Wing"
What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican party?
I’ll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote.
Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.
Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.
Liberals ended segregation.
Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
Liberals created Medicare.
Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.
What did conservatives do?
They opposed them on every one of those things -- every one.
So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, ‘Liberal,’ as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work, Senator. Because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.”
Here's the clip:
In 2022 some in the MAGA party wants to end Social Security and Medicare. Their politicized Supreme Court has already greatly weakened the Civil Rights Act and even taken away the right of women to control over their own bodies.
Our environment is in crisis and the MAGA Republicans are doing nothing about it.
Racism and fascism are rampant within the MAGA party. Look at the Q-Anon congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who blatantly uses fascist slogans from the thirties and forties and supports the unAmerican lies of Donald Trump.
The basic values of our republic are on the ballot. We must defeat those who do not respect those values.
I voted today for patriotic Americans who DO respect those values.
I voted for --
Raphael Warnock to serve us in the United States Senate.
Marcus Flowers to serve us in the US House of Representatives.
Stacey Abrams to lead our state as governor.
