Here’s the Left of Lansing “Friday Short” for May 31, 2024
The entire Michigan Republican Party is revealing its fascist and authoritarianism ways by its reactions to Dear Leader Trump being found GUILTY of all 34 felony counts of falsifying financial records to hide his payoffs to a porn star, which influenced the outcome of the 2016 election.
The so-called “Law & Order,” family values, and personal responsibility party is rallying behind its Dear Leader, proving once again how Republicans never believed in those “values.”
Their reactions also serve as a reminder on the grasp the extreme Christian Nationalist “America First” movement has on the party.
These polling numbers took my breath away. The potential impact for President Trump & me is enormous. See what I mean >>
