A handy list of words to use when talking about the GOP.
Cide Words A-F: “aborticide” to “lupicide”
Words that include -cide, -cides, -cidal
(Latin: a suffix; kill, killer; murder, to cause death, slayer; cutter; “to cut down”).

We need to start using the word "gregicide." It means the slaughter of the common people. Why haven't I ever heard that word before?

3. Indirect Rule
Where you keep people busy in tribes and fighting over petty moral issues at the lower local levels - so that they cannot lift up their heads long enough to notice their tribal leaders are being co-opted by the GOP and that the GOP can rule from above and deal with important issues like 'distribution of wealth' 'war' & 'democracy' without any input from the middle or poor classes.
