Something I mentioned 12 years ago, another time when the Government was in the hands of a single party.

Red states,

One party rule,

The media (Pravda) controlled by the government,

loyalty oaths,

Victory parades.

Face it. All that's left to do is paint the White House red, and the transformation will be complete.

Communism won the cold war and we didn't even notice.

world. Making or having money doesn't make someone a bad person. This myth had done much to allienate people from the Democratic Party. I hear it all of the time.

The problem is the gross disparity of disposable income among the people, and a system that fosters that...making the poor poorer and the rich richer.

Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, the Clintons, the Kennedys, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, and thousands of other wealthy people are on our side, and they fund many humanitarian causes.

There are many Repubs who do not have money, but they are single issue voters...guns, abortion, or they are ignorant and vote against their own interests.

and we were the one party to rule them all. I hope that happens again.

Communism didn't win. Russia isn't communist. Authoritarianism won apparently as insecure people look towards brutal force as strong leadership.

Economic and cultural anxiety has caused some idiots to support RW governments lately.

So that's a plus. Hopefully a lot of them will be gone after 2018 anyway.
We can always work and pray for that goal.

All this Trumpy-ness is diverting their evil energies.

Even McConnell is complaining about it, so you know it's a good thing, right?
