'French revolution' too? My other half has always said that people in this country don't feel like anyone is listening to them, and that a groundswell of anger is coming, and is coming soon. The freedom caucus? Has been hijacked and is worthless as a tooth in an old hag's mouth.

The new, unnamed as of yet 'silent majority' is finding out that the representation that they have been seeking has been misappropriated by these fringe groups for their own use, leaving the vast majority of us (and our votes) in limbo land.

However, as votes continue to be tallied in various special elections over the last year or so, over 39 seats have been taken away from the gop.

The anger is just starting (it's been always there, but now, with the gop in full control of things w/ tRUMP, their true colors have been revealed) and we, the new, unnamed silent majority are angry, and no longer willing to listen, to engage in meaningful exchanges, to participate in give or take. For this give and take has now been demonstrated by the gop as take, take, take.

Freedom caucus and the gop? Pathetic and a joke.
