text: How dare those Democrats defend Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
  
  The author wants Democrats to adopt Trumpism and screw over the average American so they can give tax breaks to the wealthy and serve the interests of the corporations.
  
  The author is like Trump, he wants to screw over the average American to give more money to military contractors.
  
  What the author is pining for is one party Trumpism, better known as totalitarianism.
  
  This is surely another fine example of the liberal slant of the ADN.
  
  LIke this 'liberal' statement:
  
  "The standard Washington narrative blames Republicans for the budget stalemate because they reject higher taxes."
  
  The author attempts to wash that away by claiming it's a half-truth.  That's no half truth, it's a whole truth.
  
  It's standard Republican mantra for decades, this author thinks he can obviate reality at a whim?
  
  That 'Republicans reject tax higher taxes' is standard narrative because it reflects reality.
  
  He's as phony as Trump is.
