Everyone in the north east be safe traveling in the coming storm and have a warm happy Thanksgiving.
Maybe this is what happened.
After reading the paper, lessoning to the news and reading the comments on D U it sounds like Democrats are still trying to figure out what happened. I live in Somerset county and it happens to be one of the poorer counties in the state. Yet before the election every lawn had a Le Page sign. Half these people were receiving some form of assistance yet they just couldn't connect or understand it was their head on the chopping block. No they just knew it was the other people who should be cut from assistance. My father used to tell me there is nothing more dangerous then a fools who thinks they are smart.
On Democrats and Bears
A week and a day a go I had a post entitled a week from today. I listed three thoughts I hoped people would consider on how they voted. I also said I doubted it would happen. Democrats and bears did not fare well in this election. There was a comment by Senator Bernie Sanders on the D U a few days ago stating we were headed to being a third world country and I tend to agree with him. If and when it happens the people who refused to consider the thoughts I noted in my other post will also be too stupid to figure out why we are a third world country.
Guilty
This morning I watched Hannity on Fox News. Every progressive should watch Fox a few times a week just to see what they are up to. His theme for today was how the Democrats are dividing the country. How we are pitting African Americans and Hispanics against conservatives. How we are turning women against Republicans who have the best interest of the other sex fore front in their minds. How we are pitting the poor against the rich for no good reason. He also had other examples but these were the high points. If being opposed to gerrymandering districts and voter suppression is divisive then I am guilty. If believing in equal pay for equal work, the right to health care and the right to personal choice for women is dividing the country I admit to it. If the division between rich and poor is unsustainable as the Fed has said, or if I feel that Paul Ryan’s budget is the blue print for a third world country, and Hannity feels this is being divisive then I am guilty as charged. But for the record I am damn proud of it.
