With the Republican talk of Democrats being traitors and pedophiles and 'what they used to do to traitors' and all I wanted to see if a germ of truth can be saved from the bottomless cesspool of their delusions and conspiracism, which are underwritten by the hate and fear wing of their movement.
Speaking of which, wouldn't those people be the real traitors, the Kochs and Murdochs of the scheme, who stay in the background, relatively, but have turned the country into an ungovernable mess so they can make more money and have more power? We can't go around wantonly killing people, I know.
But what's the next best thing? Complete and total disempowerment. Think of how it might be if Fox News ceased its broadcasts. If the entire Koch network, with all its tentacles, were shut down and the lackeys of the rich removed from Congress and lobbying disallowed and fair voting guaranteed.
And Citizens United thrown out the fucking window.
My God, the images that come to mind are Edenic. We might have a country again. A recognizable social contract. Civil relations among citizens and reasonable and fair returns for work performed and contributions made apart from inherited wealth and cascading profits for the fortunate.
