GOP right-wing think tanks carefully developed a long-term plan to basically overturn the U.S. Constitution, destroy American democracy and bring back 1861 slave holder societal norms financed by dark GOP donors. What they don't destroy, their insane anti-masking/vaccine policies will. Irony, business and society cannot function in a pandemic. Be careful what you wish for, often it comes back to attack your under belly, exposing the decades of lies and fraud.

The Taliban use rifles and whips to control the masses. The Republicans use boldface lies and voter suppression. Other than different irreligious religions and different clothing, if you squint a little, they look exactly the same. Maybe it's the entrenched mindset and heavy delusion.

Is class warfare and home grown terrorism coming to America? It is already here. The Jan 6th riots were just another in a chain of events. Voter suppression is the root of many of our problems. Compare us with Scandinavian countries where people automatically get the right to vote. America no longer seems to be a democracy (maybe it never was!)

The titans of industry and obscenely rich sell-out to foreign interests. They do so while claiming no one loves America like they do! They send American jobs overseas and continuously undermine our unions and constantly threaten one of the best work forces in the world. These libertarian, dog-eat-dog no regulation free-market worshipers do not care one iota if foreign governments or oligarchs literally buy up America or extract our resources while they damage the air and water. Picking on the immigrants is just a tactic to deflect what's really happening.

As always, Thom's information on the dollar figure's involved is interesting and shocking. Angry nut-bags have always been with us, but I am convinced the greedy lying bastards and FOX have created more than usual. Bush, Cheney, and the radical Trumpsters only needed to look in the mirror to find some of the evil-doers.

Americans deserve health care and a clean environment; it's the path to a happier more prosperous nation.

I know that my Republican neighbors listen to Fox News only. What they do not hear is the biggest problem other than the brain washing that they receive each day. News with the opinion that Fox wants you to have. Then the repeating of that opinion.
