They have orchestrated the election of a bunch of illiterates who can't be controlled, even by them, and who have no problem voting against their own financial interests to achieve some very dubious social goals.

Eventually the big money boys will wake up and realize that government by rabid incompetents is not in their best interest and pull the campaign contribution plug on the nutcases.

The Kochoids can hold out until this happens. Whether or not the rest of us can is the question.
