The GOP & DNC are both $trillion dollar franchises! Web sites like FR, et al exist for ideologues - from all over the political spectrum - to fret, wish, pray, hope or whatever else floats their boat, but they have no say whatsoever in real decisions, real power.
But Lucy's football is still there, tantalizing the masses with the prospect of really kicking it just this one time. 25 years for Rush, 20 years for FR, 60 years for NR, etc, etc, etc.
What we're seeing this go-around is the real deal, the real operations. We can at least give Trump this credit, that he threw back the covers. OK, so now everyone knows. Does that change the equation?
LOL. Does the slave who imagined himself free have any more power once he's confirmed he's actually a slave?
Good post. We have so little hope of changing this system bloodlessly that Trump sounds like one chance for us.
“LOL. Does the slave who imagined himself free have any more power once he’s confirmed he’s actually a slave?”
Every word you have said is the bitter truth. It’s all because of Trump and the arrogant dismissal of the average voter by the Republican Party that has removed the scales from many of our eyes.
As to the “slaves” imagining themselves free; that’s how this nation came to be in the first place. I can’t dredge up much hope that there are any citizens of the caliber that our forefathers were. That’s what it takes to achieve freedom and I just don’t see our dumbed down, brainwashed, media addicted population being equal to the job. I sincerely hope that I’m wrong.
