there's NO WAY the rightwing can outperform the left. 'Privilege of the few' always succumbs to the 'needs of the many' and the math is simple. Ufortunately, the fascisti have figgered out this (from Michael Lind's 'Up From Conservativism') the electorate is 3 parts. 1 3rd votes rightwing REGARDLESS! 1 3rd votes left REGARDLESS! That means fascisti must win majority of the remaining 3rd. That is easy. Every half wit on the street wants more death penalty,more lawn order and harsher police powers etc! More taxes for WAR! Aristotle (ole white feller) once said Democracy just could not work because there too many selfish fools in a given population! example- 1 3rd of slaves on plantation vote for Jeff Davis! 1 3rd of amerindians vote for GEorge Custer! 1 3rd of inmates in Auschwitz vote for bush...
