The entire country will be sold off into divisions to the highest bidder and that'll be it. There will be no new leftie, not with the way the districts are drawn, there will be more voter suppression than there is going on now.
It will be the permanent majority the GOP has planned on for a full generation, and their media will rubber stamp everything they do. We all know what they will do, we know who they support. So there will be nothing to do.
If I was in 1strongblackman's shoes, I'd do the same thing he says he'd do. It will take centuries to get anything reasonable going again. If people don't realize that this is what the GOP and Libertarians plan for the USA, drowning the government in the bathtub, and the rich must not be taxed mantra, they are brain dead. They're not playing games, they will shut the whole thing down to sell it off.
Obama is holding back the fascism, no matter what the harpies say. He believes in a representative democracy, the GOP does not. Their goal is getting close at hand, aristocracy. If Americans want to go into the dark ages, it's their choice and those of us who can't leave will be forced to watch the show.
If he wins and Americans start doing their part instead of being spectators, we'll get through this. There is nothing in history that says a government cannot be toppled or destroyed. Those who call for violent revolution are denying history which says that these actions precede dictatorship. They get their prophecy fulfilled but it won't be democracy, it won't be progressive, it won't be leftist. Even if it was leftist, which there is no reason in hell to being to believe it would be with the current population and their stated non-progressive, anti-liberal, anti-socialist, defininitely anti-left belief system, that is not where it's going.
Remember that although those who fought Franco in Spain were right, they lost. Generations lived under fascist rule and their country is still not free of all of that, not stable as we have been. We have had the luxury in this country of thinking that things will always fall back into balance. It sure wasn't in balance before the Civil War or in the civil rights era and there is nothing that promises that the majority will suddenly veer left. So it's Obama or nothing for me, he's the last Democratic chance.
