Does Anyone Think The GOP Gives A Shit About Destroying The Country?

[TheMastersNemesis]

Does anyone think the GOP will back off on anything. Hell they own the election process as far as they are concerned and they can be the one party dictatorship. They are at WAR with the US and plan to wreck and sell off everything they can get their hands on.

And they have a police force that is militarized to suppress any protest. Even now we see nothing but bold defiance telling most of the nation to STFU. I do not understand that lack of furious backlash even now.

1. Apparently, some do.

It is, perhaps, too shattering to their world-view to accept that the ruling party of most of the states and the Federal government is really not terribly interested in the welfare of American citizens. It's always been about "them" before, you know: homeless, minorities, those of non-christian religion, women... it would appear that a number of people couldn't detect a pattern, here.

2. It is not

because the don't give a shit. It is their goal.

3. Many Americans are stupid, naive, uneducated, and far too trusting. The republican takeover is

child's play. And the democrats are now weak and ineffective. About half of America gets what's going on, but they have no effective voice.

This regime is gong to run rip shit over the US and it will be unrecognizable when they are finished. Trump is a dictator, and Obama might have been the last president of the US. Countries fall fast, and a glance at history can easily tell what can happen.

Far too many Americans think the US will just chug along. The US is in such deep shit. Those that elected him unless extremely wealthy are in for a horrific future, they are all LOSERS in his eyes and were used for their vote. They probably still don't get it.

Union rights
Middle class

5. They want to return to

the Robber Baron days, that's when they had control and they got such a rush from the aristrocratic feel that they have spent nearly an entire century trying to claw it all back.

7. Yes

Child labor....huge monopolies. Yup around the turn into the 20th century.

6. Not any more, they don't. (nt)

8. To a multinational corporation, one country is as good as another...

just sources of cheap labor and/or potential customers. Repubs have pretty much sold out to that.

9. No, I had this discussion w/ my therapist yesterday

and told her that was why I was so upset. (She asked me exactly what it was that was about this election that was upsetting me so) Fortunately, she hates Trump as much as I do so I felt that I was heard.
