Not trying to make excuses for what is inexcusable, just adding a bit of context.

I think Republicans may have now sealed their fate. They have been smoked out and have been laid bare. Seven years they bamboozled their base telling everyone their first act would be to repeal Obamacare... and they didn’t. Now they pass the Dem’s budget, but why is anyone surprised? When Obama was president they gave him everything he wanted, and more, in a previous budget!

So in context, yes an election year, but they have been laid bare that they part and parcel of the swamp. Good luck energizing the base for the mid-term election as they have absolutely no cover now. They cannot talk real tough, as they usually do, and then skate back to their safe space in Washington. The jig is up.

So your solution is to not vote? That will teach them. Seriously, where do you idiots come from?

Well, voting worked out so well for us last time. I no longer care if people decide to drop out of the charade.

What is sad is all the patriots standing for a flag that used to mean something but is now a shill and a trapping for fooling them into thinking that they still have a country to salute. Trump did one thing...make us all understand that the country we think we lived in died long ago and we now are simply subjects of government power once again...living and dying according to how the government tells us to.

True enough. I'm glad more folks are starting to join me over here in the real world. It has been a lonely vigil.
