*Straight* (i.e. legitimate) party line voting wouldn’t have yielded what began happening as last evening progressed, but I do accept your premise: we got bated by masters.
Worse is that many Dems voted as socialists, unaware that “leaders” of their “movement” are marxists, not socialists foolish enough to enlarge government until it collapses under its own weight, but bosses who will pull power to themselves until their inescapable paranoia sets them at each others’ throats.
The radicals (like Ayers) dream of collapsing our nation so it can be reorganized along the lines of their dreams, without a nuisance constitution, but with a social contract.
