What Are They Afraid Of?

What are they afraid of? 

You know, the Republicans, the GOP, the wanna-fascists, the lunatic right-wing. What drives their hate & fear?  First, see previous post.

And, let me hazard a few answers:

Free & Fair Elections
Representative Democracy
One person/One vote
Women
Blacks
Immigrants
People of Color
LGBTQ+ 
Woke Folks
Democrats
Progressives
Equality for All
Bodily Autonomy
Intelligence
Progress
Change

They Fear losing their status in America. They really don't want to be treated equally with everyone else. That is scary for them. Is it really that simple? Fear? Which is expressed with a passionate Hate? Their primary tool: raw political power, to try to prevent folks from speaking, voting, participating in a free, fair and equal Democracy. 

Really. Yes, I really do think so.

We can't let their Fear and Hate rule our lives. No Justice, No Peace.
