Things are getting out of hand in our country.

[Old and In the Way]

7. Normally, I'd expect a swift and powerful repudiation at the polls.

Obviously, the Republican Party has nationalized their war on women and are trying to dismantle everything progressive this country has been built on.

But there are 3 things that give them the confidence to move on their agenda.

(1) Citizens United - the 1% can now target any elected official and take them out with unlimited cash for attack ads
(2) Electronic voting machines - we know they can be gamed
(3) Voter Rights restrictions - Republicans are equally busy making sure a huge segment of our population can't vote

Sadly, I think the great experiment of democracy is pretty much over. There's a One Party movement underway where Republicans will have the corporate/religious backing to remake this country into their own image. The morons who vote against their best interest by thinking they are Republicans, but aren't in the top 5% will be joining us in our Brave New World.
