20. It's going to be difficult to get rid of the Republicans

Mon Oct 1, 2018, 02:28 PM

Oct 2018

We may win the House this year.

But 2020 will be the real test of their propaganda machine against our outrage.

They've spent decades creating a gigantic carnival midway for fools. And the fools bought the scam.

How do we go about fixing America?

The real answer is education, but the Republicans are trying to destroy, or make education unaffordable, from every level from kindergarten on.

By anyone's definition, people who are against education are barbarians. And that's what we're dealing with when we're talking about the Republican Party.

They are really a remnant from the dark ages. And they are currently enjoying a temporary success of a new age of barbarism.

IMO, trying to hold back progress and the future is an impossible task.

But the Republican Party is doing their best to degrade the human condition. Seems to me that they are doomed to failure. But, in the meantime, they sure as hell can make this a miserable place for the rest of us.
