History has shown that when the GOP takes control bad things happen.

History has shown that when the GOP takes control of the government, bad things happen. Donald Trump has repeatedly insulted our allies and threatened war with North Korea, a nation with nuclear capabilities.  The mass shooting in Las Vegas is a direct result of the GOP's insistence that every citizen, sane or insane, has a right to own military style weapons.

While most nations ensure their citizens have access to healthcare, the GOP is willing to place the lives and financial security of millions of Americas in jeopardy because it does not believe healthcare is an extension of the inalienable right to life. 

Climate change is viewed by the global community as the greatest threat to humankind. The GOP refuses to either accept the scientific evidence supporting it or join with other nations to minimize the impact of human activities on the weather. As other nations commit to reducing their dependence of fossil fuels, the GOP seeks to increase oil exploration and continue the subsidies paid to the oil industry.

In spite of growing income inequality, the GOP has proposed massive tax cuts favoring the wealthy including eliminating the alternative minimum tax and estate taxes. Cuts that will raise the deficit and result in elimination of critically needed social programs. 

Donald Trump's divisive and dangerous rhetoric seems to add legitimacy to the ideology of white supremacist groups and those intolerant of others due to differences in their religious beliefs or sexual orientation. The GOP's war on women is a direct attack on the right of women to earn equal pay and exercise control over their bodies. 

The GOP's top priorities, other than keeping their own jobs, remain freeing business from government regulations, protecting the assets of the wealthy, and eliminating funding for all social programs designed to improve the lives of the overwhelming majority of Americans and their families. Unless you are in the top one percent, a racist or totally ignorant of the damage the GOP has done to this nation every time they have taken control of the government, continuing to vote Republican is nothing short of insanity.
