That's why Trump won. The Right wing knows that the SC is what really determines the fate of the nation. They will do anything to
achieve their goal.

8. The Right Wing has completely given up its "moral authority"

It has given up any moral compass and every principle it ever had. It has become "The Party" from 1984, and it is only interested in ideological purity. It has become totalitarian and fascist. They are not in power as a means to an end. They don't mean to take power only to improve the lives of people or to make the nation stronger. Power is the end. They wish to be in power so that they will be in power, and that is the end.

"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me."

They understand the big picture.

Of course, having a GOP-compliant MSM helps keep the heat off of their decision.

Democrats have to decide if they are willing to do what's needed to defeat a party that IS doing what's needed to win.

This has made me think of the film 9 to 5. Between Moore and Donny Jr killing endangered animals I guess it was bound to happen since I relate things that way visually. Dabney Coleman's character is the epitome of the average GOP politician and many men these days. It is a humorous fantasy so feel free to write how violent and nasty I am.

They all have a sheep like mentality where you can't ever question the almighty dear leader, or those who have control over.

Supposedly his history and behavior were as "un godly" (whatever his means) as possible.

Yet, all those "family value" "church goers" Evangelicals voted for him.

So Moore is a pale imitation of Trump. At least he has not bragged to "Excess Hollywood" about grabbing women by their genitals. Not yet.
