I think a major part of the game is making us think we don't have the power to change things. They know fully well no matter how hard they try they aren't guaranteed total control and given the right moment things can change in an instant. They are in the minority and have to manipulate others to fight for them and as these proxies get moved around like pawns on a board there are still way more of us than them. As fearful as we are they are probably more fearful that when they lose their grip all hell may break loose. And although some may fall due to hubris most of them still fear the masses. They are called the .01% for a reason. But back to the point of faith...I believe part of the assault on our minds was letting a guy promise hope and change at a moment everyone craved it and then crushing and pulverizing it to keep people from ever again thinking they can demand it. If this guy lets us down then they all will. The fact is change happens from the bottom up, not the top down and Obama was a distraction...a neutering of the people's energy towards change. I believe anything can happen. Things already have that the naysayers couldnt envision. Republicans are done. Only gerrymandering is saving them and that won't last. They actually also still cling to power by persuading us to elect conservative, so-called centrist democrats when we really don't need to. This isn't McGovern vs Nixon anymore. Any democrat would've won in 2008 and 2012. It was actually harder for Obama given the racists out there.
