...that the thirty years of rhetorical bullshit is coming to an end? That the Republicants who've had to toe the conservative line have finally come to their senses and figured out that, "Dude, the country is not made up of old, male, white farts."
Yep, I think the worm has turned.

(15,953 posts)When it comes down to the point where the only argument left is "Why can't we let this simmer down at the state level?" and "Why do we have to rule on this now?" That basically amounts to throwing the empty gun at your opponent.

(1,372 posts)I grew up in the 50s being taught to respect all authority
Now we have exposed the fact that people "in charge"
take advantage of the people who trust them.
I lived thru the past 35 years to see my salary and bonuses and
raises get less and less until every year I was working more
productively for less and less.
Now we see that the congress is bought and serves the wealthy
and the banks pay us next to no interest in order to use our money
to make billions of dollars.
I see the tide turning. We are aware of all the scams perpetrated by those we were taught to trust!
Now we just need to drive or issues in order to rebalance the wealth in this country.
