(39,215 posts)so fooled by Bill Clinton. Before 1980 we pretty much had a party that could be trusted to represent us. We were still living by the values of the party of FDR.
Then we found ourselves in the nightmare of raygun and trickle down. We understood we did not want anymore Rs.
When Bill Clinton the smooth talker came along we THOUGHT that he is a Democrat. We trusted him because of that and he used the same old slogans. We thought we were getting the old party back in power. We did not for the most part see the pictures of him setting with GHW Bush and George Wallace. We also did not see the pictures of him and the southern governors standing with their backs turned to the black prisoners as they promised to be tough on crime. And we absolutely did not understand the use of dog whistles. We were completely fooled and many of us also never realized that everything had changed. That the party was no longer on our side.
Many of us are just now learning what Bill and Hillary and all of our traitor congress persons are doing to us.
We are no longer fools - our eyes are open.
