21. Remember we have a solution: The ballot box. Vote on Nov. 6, 2018
Thu Oct 4, 2018, 06:28 AM
Oct 2018

The people controlling the Republican Party are intent on transforming the government into a authoritarian presidency in conjunction with an cabinet of the wealthy. They have under their control a large segment of the population made up of extreme factions consisting of the wealthy, evangelicals, racists, second amendment radicals and low information voters who they have convinced that they are their champions. With the exception of the wealthy class, these groups are little more than useful idiots to be exploited.

The only weapon that the citizens have is the ballot box. The Republicans as well aware of this fact. They have even attempted to extended their campaign to restrict and control the most fundamental privilege and essential tool of a democracy by restricting the vote of minorities and younger voters and gerrymandering. The fact is that we are in a war for control of our society. A war that the liberals upon whose principles the nation was founded are losing by default.
