(85,373 posts)16. That's what I love about you Warpy
You are always so damn cheerful.
I don't think there's a megalomaniac outside of this country that wants the task of oppressing the US citizenry...because I don't think the US citizenry would tolerate outside oppression. The new master would just appoint a puppet...like Jeb.
The willingness to tolerate inside oppression, though. That's VERY troubling. I thought we were made of more independent stuff. I blame the GOP and the 1% Elitists. They have conditioned Democrats and Republicans alike into accepting the concept of "class differences". The only difference I can see is the amount of money and power and the willingness to abuse them and the people with less power and money.
