2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhen I was young there was one thing I believed about the GOP and the rich...
They wanted to take our society back to the industrial age. A time when young children were working on production lines, when there was no overtime, no insurance, no family leave, when when workers "owed their soul to the company store."
I seriously feared those times would return one day. But as I got older, I began to see how the balance of our government seemed to be preventing that.
But now the GOP has implemented a well-oiled formula of lying, cheating, using foreign governments, voter suppression, stepping all over our constitution, etc, and I am once again certain their goal is to take our country back 100 years.
I hope those who voted Republican in 2016, and don't have millions at their disposal, come to realize that the GOP is NOT looking out for their best interest.

(883 posts)They all believe that one day it will be them. That somehow a miracle will occur and they will be the one in charge with millions so they can behave that way themselves. Also they think it is someone else who the GOP is talking about and not them. They deserve the benefit but some one else does not.
