They have the country by the throat now and are ready to strangle the life out of our democracy. This plan has been THE PLAN since Reagan really. Their policy is psychological violence, threats and intimidation. I bet anyone who tries to challenge one of these goons gets a billie club to the head.
I just don't think most Americans realize how dangerous the GOP is now. I think the government itself is now at risk.

(5,105 posts)Those are the tactics that brought the pigs into office, and the righties keep their useful idiots scared and paranoid with them.
Racism, twisted theology, end-of-time-- all pushed by moneyed assholes profiting off this subset, willing to be sold to -- make up most of the contributions to rW assholes willing to sacrifice their life savings to stop the "libruls" and "socialists" from "taking over."
The fact is, these idiots are giving their money to scammers, not the least of which is all the "religious" groups so willing to take their money and leave them high and dry.
It's kind of an ancient scam, yet it still works.

I am terrified.
They own DOJ. Their Mormon lackeys run FBI. I think Holder is their man. That's why nobody touches domestic terrorists.

(11,001 posts)President and the GOP, the fight is between the GOP and tea baggers. When that is resolved, many believe that government can proceed even with opposing views.
