during any election. Risking sounding like an ass, maybe we should let the 65+ crowd get a taste of what they voted for, I can promise you they will get their heads screwed on right.

I live in a big retirement region. Most of the really old people that I see are elderly Whites, the very people that vote heavily republican. I say let them suffer through 2018, only then can we have the power to save their asses.
