A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director. I believe the speech is from 2017 but is still very relevant.
SALUTE TO HIM!!!

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

WOW: Massive crowds in New York City right now for the 50501 National Day of Action against the Trump regime.
It's good to see the reference to Ike being the political coward he really was. I also think of Herbert Hoover and other republicans doing everything they could in the 1930s to undermine FDR and the country. My, but republican treason is an oldie but a goodie.
You need to get David Corn's "American Psychosis - A Historical Investigation Of How The Republican Party Went Crazy." Ike's part is prominent and early.
When I researched "Downtown," I found the story of the "bomber gap" pushed by the Air Force and aviation industry, that the U-2 program found to be non-existent. That and the realization of what he had done in 1952 was why Ike said what he did in his farewell address
Thanks for the book recommendation. The Eisenhower Marshall thing was a shock to me and to my brother who also follows you closely. I read HCR's books and also Lyn Fenwick's Prairie Bachelor: The Story of a Kansas Homesteader and the Populist Movement. https://dablogfodder.blogspot.com/2021/05/prairie-bachelor-story-of-kansas.html The Republican Party stopped being a party of the people a long long time ago. I do not think they are worried about the election because they have it fixed at the state level
this may sound extreme, but I think the Republicans started to do downhill in1878, with pulling federal troops out of the south and that foul-ball stolen Tilden/Hayes election. I say this also understanding that, until, say, my lifetime, a huge piece of the Democratic party were down south and hardly very "liberal." and TR's Progressivism, has always struck me as a tad too "elitist" (better word, anyone?), which you can hardly hold against him...
