they will only end up hurting themselves. They go to sleep at night knowing they will probably wake up in the same place and status only because of our democracy and the rule of law. The fascists they now support are for abolishing that system. When that happens, infrastructure including food safety and distribution, property rights, social programs including medicare and social security, snow plowing, roads and bridge repair, and respect for individual rights, just to name a few will all be gone. I frame it in that light to anyone who dares tell me they support today's repuglican party.
