Dont Be Fooled: Existing Extremism Is Not Trump but GOP Establishment

Trump has effectively functioned as a smoke screen for the remarkably
consistent orchestration of a Republican scorched earth policy at the
state level

That Donald Trump is a misogynist and a bigot who has routinely mistreated
his workers, undermined unions, engaged in trade practices hostile to
American industry and workers and overall cultivated the worst and most
divisive instincts in Americans is without dispute. His behavior and
demeanor have inspired debate as to whether the term fascist can be fairly
applied to him, and more than a few pundits have agreed that Trumps
political ways do deserve the label.
.
If you argue he needs to be stopped, youll get no argument from this
author.
.
The facts are, though, that he is likely to lose the election and that he
does not occupy a political office from which to inflict his extreme,
possibly even fascist, political program that would surely wreak great
damage on U.S. society in terms of undermining democracy and turning back
the clock on progress the country has made in crawling toward a more
economically, socially, environmentally, and politically just and humane
nation.
.
But while so much energy in this political season goes to keeping Trump
out of office and focusing on his extremism, as if its anomalous and
unusual, the real GOP extremist agenda rolls on across the country.
.
Trump has effectively functioned as a smoke screen, or as cloud cover, for
the remarkably consistent orchestration of a Republican scorched earth
policy at the state level. The Trump effect has succeeded in distracting
us from this reality. Some Republican politicians have nimbly and
strategically tried to distance themselves from Trump or walked a
tightrope, making that fine distinction between voting for him and
endorsing him. Paul Ryan has been chief among these political gymnasts,
and yet as I write on November 5, he is campaigning with Mike Pence in
Wisconsin trying to turn the state for Trump.
.
This is because the GOP establishment is not different from Trump in terms
of many of the extremist policies he supports and certainly in terms of
the agenda of undermining unions, making life harder for the working
classes in America, furthering the interests of the already wealthy and
corporations, making healthcare less accessible, slashing taxes which will
result in cutting funding for vital and basic services and schools, and no
doubt fostering bigotry. The difference is that GOP leaders like Bruce
Rauner, Rick Snyder, Scott Walker, Sam Brownback, and Paul Ryan, among
many others, are actually in office, in positions of political power,
carrying out or trying to carry out the Trump agenda in actuality. Former
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal also once held this office and, according
to even conservative political observers, similarly scorched the earth of
Louisiana before he left office, leaving the state in shambles because of
the excessive tax cuts he implemented.

When is the last time you heard about Flint, Michigan in the news?
Exactly.
