We sorely need a lot of single issue voters to bring down the haters. Single issue, women's reproductive freedom, single issue gays, single issue minorities, but they also need to be able to hold the people that they elect to account, and do like the MAGA crowd does, put the fear into them. That's how the Trump humping, racist, religious fascists have taken control of the GOP.

We need to do the same as they. Because it works.

America has been led to believe that the middle of the road and compromise is the soul of America. I'm of the mind of the Texas politician who said the only thing you will find in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead armadillos.

Anytime you compromise with the devil, the devil wins (I'm an atheist so strike the d in devil and you got evil.

The GOP has come to power, because they haven't compromised. SCOTUS is not compromising, The red side of the senate and house don't compromise, Trump doesn't compromise. Democrats compromise and it is one step forward and two steps back on the road to fascism.

But I am pissing in the wind, and know it. We are already a plutocracy, and the only thing that all of our bickering has achieved is to be witness to the irrevocable rise of the money powers.

No matter what happens, it always winds up, with tax cuts, deregulation and perks for the Plutocrats. Queer billionaires like Peter Thiel, gleefully sell out LGBT, because their wealth protects them, blacks like Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, Kanye, Herschel Walker reap the benefits of selling out their own race. Women like Boebert, MTG, Joni Ernst, sell out women, because they know the path to money and power is carrying water for the patriarchy.

People of principle do not get anywhere in business or politics, because principles are a threat to the money powers and religious freaks (like Mike Johnson).
