The racism, misogyny, bigotry memes continue to work for the GOP in our nation we will be in decline. The double standard that favors the GOP also plays a major role. These memes have worked and will work in the future unless there is a major change in our national mind set. In the end our democracy will eventually end as we know it.
35% of our population is infected with a mental cancer that seems incurable and is destroying our political landscape. 35% is still way to high and it keeps the GOP in enough power to destroy our country and our democracy and that is exactly what they are doing.
The GOP has successfully framed the Democrats as the black, hispanic, gay & free give away party. And our corrupt media does all it can in allowing this frame to stay alive. It allows voter to vote against themselves much of the time. Even though the frame is a myth it still thrives in the political landscape. Such a frame makes it difficult for the Democrats to make the gains needed to reverse our decline nationally and internationally.
The Democrats suffer more from not having a public voice. RW hate media dominates the landscape. And Fox news is predominant because they are given a free ride as fair and balanced by the rest of the media. The rest of the "lame stream" media just goes along treating our worsening condition as normal.

(16,079 posts)That 35% of our population doesn't have a mental cancer, what they do have is more akin to rabies! And in that 35%, that form of rabies is incurable, unfortunately!
