The party of taking things away. It’s what I call them now, and it’s accurate. It says it all. It’s all you need to know about Republicans.

We can argue about their racism and bigotry, we can argue about the parallels between Trump’s rise to power and Hitler’s. We can argue about whether they can call themselves the party of small government with a straight face anymore. We can argue about their hypocrisy. We can argue about how regressive their end goals are. We can argue about their attempts to whitewash history and interfere with institutions of learning. We can argue about their endless suckling at the teat of big business and law enforcement.

But at the end of the day, they are the party of taking things away.
