Thank you for sharing your insights, dear justiceseeker93!
It WAS a coup d’état by the Democrats. It occurred in 1934 under then-Governor Theodore Francis Green (himself a scion of the early controlling families of RI and before 1932, an also-ran against GOP candidates going back decades).
For a brief time in 1938, it looked like the GOP managed to “take it back”, only to lose it for the long term and effectively to date (save the occasional wins, and the fact the state has tended to prefer non-Dem Governors since after 1984, with Dems only winning due to a scandal-plagued incumbent (DiPrete in 1990) or a split in the center-right vote (in 2014 with the GOP & Ex-Cool Moose’r, and 2010 for that matter since Chafee was the most left-wing candidate).
Individuals are not the Party, to which my commentary concerned.
You’ll always find individuals who don’t represent the Party platform, values, or ideals, like Zell Miller wasn’t representative of the Democrat Party.
Agreed. But the Progressives are brainwashing the public school children and college students with their false narrative, and it appears most accept the lies on its face. They have groomed kids to be unable to critically think or challenge educators at the college level due to fear of receiving a poor grade in class.
