I agree with you 100%. My entire family are Republicans, and I mean THE ENTIRE family! I'm the only Democrat. We have spirited discussions when we all congregate which, thankfully, isn't that often. I'm FAR MORE educated on the issues, and can make them look like fools, if I so choose. I know I'm not going to sway a single mind in the house, so I seldom bring up political issues. It's just not worth it. If they weren't my family ........ I'm not that gentle and non-confrontational with the rest of that sad lot of Republicans, though, and will never run from a heated discussion with them. They're cement heads, but once in a while I get one that will leave the reservation and listen to REASON, and not the party line.
Screw 'em. Our goal has to be kicking their asses in the 2018 mid-terms, and I MEAN KICKING THEIR ASSES. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! We have to send a message that America IS NOT a "christian nation", or a nation that wants fascism knocking on it's door in the disguise of a Republican "patriot". Americans want to love their families (whatever the sexual orientation), have good paying jobs, do more than just "exist', be healthy at a reasonable price, have access to a quality education and not have the burden of tens of thousands of dollars in debt when they're finished. That's just to name a FEW things the greatest country on earth should provide their citizens, and for EVERYONE, not just a chosen few. The playing field in this country MUST be leveled. It's currently tilted in one direction, and one direction only.
OK, rant off. This WAS your political screed, and I sort of hijacked it. It's so darned easy to do when you're talking about our arch-enemy, though. Let's just mop the floor with these jerks and LET THEM KNOW that a new era has dawned for America. Business as usual IS NOT a political strategy from now on! Now let's get busy!
