A thought...

The elected Rethugs are playing the long game. They know not only that they can maintain the relationship with their base and at the same time they also know that “no one” will remember this two years from now. It’s how they roll. No culpability ever for their actions. We are still paying for Jimmy Carter’s rabbit or Obama’s tan suit. That’s forever,,,,

1. that is why we're suffering now

the long game started decades ago and they have been relatively successful

2. Is there anything we can do about this, or are we destined to be their chumps

forever?

3. We have our long game too -- Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and ACA are good. Economies have

done best under Democrats. And plenty more -- civil rights, support of unions, etc. For the future -- affordable education, child care, Public Option, better unemployment benefits, improved safety net, jobs programs, etc.

Hopefully, a significant portion of voters who keep supporting GOPers will wise up.
