Just goes to show you what's been going on for decades--in plain sight. We pick our parties & elected leaders like many of us pick our partners at times: Maximize the good, minimize the bad, and think we can change that later!!! Doesn't end well with either situation.
💪👍
What Truman probably didn't realize at the time because it didn't really come into focus until nixon and even more so with reaga is that post Teddy Roosevelt republicans are congenital liars that are completely full of shit. The only honest elected republican in that time was Eisenhower.
That seems to be the GOP mantra today.
There’s a word for what Truman described: hypocrite.
Exactly correct… somethings never change especially the GOP.
If anything, they have gotten worse.
I agree
As we reflect on Harry Truman’s wisdom about Republicans, 80 years later, they’ve only gotten worse…much worse. Let’s send them packing in ‘26.
So in retrospect nothing has changed and there really is no way to change it as long as corporations and oligarchs control everything. There have been so many stories and movies portraying this tragic reality. Eisenhower, beware of the military/industrial complex, Mr. Smith goes to Washington,
Inherit the Wind, Kennedy, ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country. The list and examples are very long and apparently clear over the years. But here we are accepting our fate like sheep bound for slaughter.
While some of our leaders have endeavored to level the playing field we’re still in the exact same place we’ve always been. When will it really change? Can it change or are we destined to live in quiet desperation?
Time will tell, won't it?

218 as of Today. The fascists are raging forward. Fascists at all gov't levels. I am being ASKED why I am protesting by TEACHERS!!! They had the summer off, why have they missed what is happening? Please do SOMETHING to save Democracy! youtu.be/O6EzqLPbMt8?...
Last I read today, Texas in its hurry to redistrict, screwed up and may have turned the keys to the castle over to Democrats. Need to find out more. Do whatever you can whenever you can however you can.
Yes, they think the changes have created 10 flip (not the right phrase) districts. They were warned by the experts before they did as commanded by the high baboon. Sucks to be stupid.
Many are trying but not enough. Start here indivisible.org
We still get to grow our own eggs, cos that sure is cheap aint it!
Watch what they do, not what they say.

May I have your permission to share this on Facebook?
Give em hell Harry
Things change and yet remain the same 75 years later.
They want slaves
An undervalued, prescient President!
My dad always told me that we were way too poor to vote for republicans. One Maga idiot told me that I was wrong, he is for the working man. I lost it and said he never punched a time card what the hell does he know about the working man. Bankruptcy is the only common thing he has with working man
See? Not even a new problem. And that man died by the time I was a *teenager*.
75 years and it's all still the 🤬 same!!!
Look at what the investments the Republicans have as supposed supporters of farmers. JD Vance is heavily invested in AcreTrader..they make money 💰 on farmer bankruptcy. I really hope these farmers who voted for Trump understand the Republican party doesn't support you.
What we need to do is look at where they take their money from. Democrats and Republicans both are very heavily invested in Izzy - who has the Orange Dudes neck in his hands. Our Elected Officials vote the way Izzy says. Here’s one example. Arkansas is another.
