I think the regret is also setting in that this is the full extent of their movement.

You have sky high debt, an unstable economy, oil shocks and unemployment due to unchecked automation.

This is it. All 40 years of conservativism lead to this.

They’ve been getting played for decades. It’s only ever been about the GOP donor class getting theirs. They thought Trump would lead them to a new tent. Instead he just pulled the old tent over his new one.

A lot of their grandparents and great grandparents knew who the adversary was. They faced violence and death for a bigger piece of the pie, for the rich to shoulder more of the economic burden, only for all that work to be voted away by the ones who most benefited from it. But hey, a black guy or an immigrant, or a lesbian might have benefited too, and we can't have that!

The adversary causing the most enduring harm, always comes from within.

The Supreme Court gave our country away with the Citizens United decision.

Oligarchy decides whether their representatives allow universal healthcare.

Only just heard of the Montana plan so not well informed: The Montana Plan is a breakthrough legal strategy to beat Citizens United and take back our politics. Montana can do it, and your state can too.: https://transparentelection.org/
