Time to ditch our quiet "inside voice" and raise some fresh hell.
Most Republicans seem unable to recognize certain everyday things like the many reasons for poverty or the difficulty in finding affordable health care. They can't recognize the connection between global warming and drowning polar bears or lead poisoning and sick children.
They can't even see betrayal when it's on display at every one of their photo ops or press briefings. They aren't even worried about Trump's march toward fascism because that's far less important to them than their success at gutting entitlement programs. They sure hate the thoughts of anyone getting help with those bootstraps unless, of course, it's one of their own.
There isn't an American institution or a decent humane principle Republicans have honored. They'll excuse or deny the existence of anything they might have to take a public stand on if they told the truth.
Now we have Jason Chaffetz basically saying that poor people could afford health care if they didn't make that one awful, terrible, unforgivable choice of buying an iPhone. That asinine statement proves he doesn't know Thing One about the cost of health care. The price of an iPhone wouldn't get you too far when you need $437.00 worth of life-saving pills each month.
Trump's planned destruction of our government and institutions is well on the way to reality. Somehow we have to stop him and each and every one of his enablers before it's too late. We have to lay on a lot less leeway and a lot more pressure.
