Did Kansas teach us a lesson?

The GOP’s destructive policies won the Democrats a governorship in Kansas.

America doesn’t really know what it feels like to be a truly conservative country, at least today it doesn’t. Dems have always been there to soften the blow of conservatism (hereinafter, “FUCKERY”). Is it a winning long term strategy to let America feel the pain of fuckery for them to see that they don’t give a damn? To see that the lower taxes, and small government isn’t for them but rather the wealthy? They don’t care about your unions? They don’t care about your access to healthcare and it’s affordability?

The Ayn Randers captured the Republican party way back with Goldwater. They hate government, except for its military function. They want to privatize every function of gov, do away with taxes, and allow corporations to do as they please, no matter the harm to consumers, environment, and workers.
