Republicans are sowing the seeds for class warfare and revolution

People are already angry and most of them know who to blame. If you bring people to a point where they have nothing left to lose, they will take to the streets and fight.

Citizens suck up small changes and grouse about it. When you cut programs that people depend on for their lives, they will revolt.

I would rather that not be the case but when people are miserable and feel hopeless they will follow many extreme ideologies.

And I suspect they won't in most Red States.

They have no problem voting for people who take away their healthcare.

of revolt. They are trampling all over us, are we going to take that lying down. We can see how dismissive they are towards the American people.

Goodwill towards men????? I don't think so.

Mitch McConnell is so fucking guilty and so is Ryan, they need to pay dearly.

As others have said they only care about the deficit when the Dems are in the WH.

It is as obvious a con as could be but too many are too ignorant to get it.

We are coming to some kind of head in a hurry.
