Shine a bright light on GOP Kochsucker death cult [View all]

The GOP is so far off the rails that they don't resemble what they were even 30 years ago. It is absolutely imperative to understand the Koch Bro and other billionaires (Mercers and others) influence in order to be able to do something about it.

They are complicit in the rise of Trump, who really has 2 masters: Putin and Koch.

Read Dark Money by Jane Mayer. You need to understand the enemy before you can resist them.
