4. Who says we're not?

The bigger problem is knowing that no level of anger has ever made a lasting difference. We had our moment when it appeared Pence had permanently removed himself from becoming a figure of national significance with his bumbling RFRA shenanigans - to the point where the outrage was truly bipartisan. So much for that. Apart from that, we get right-to-freeload shoved down our throats, restrictive voter ID despite an admitted lack of evidence of voter impersonation fraud... we repudiate the education policies of Mitch Daniels and his lackey Bennett and the legislature does an end-run around the clear will of the voters by stripping the state education chief of her powers.

One-party rule under the (R) flag is a disaster, and it's hard to pick the worst of it. The Carrier fleecing is small potatoes compared to the other stuff I mentioned, at least in my reckoning.
