You may end up powerless and unable to vote to change anything or stop anything and end being rounded up like cattle and exterminated like those in Nazi Germany/Europe and else where beyond our American borders.
At this moment in time, both parties are largely "owned" by the wealthy elites, but it's the GOP that is doing it's level best to make that even worse. Citizens United is the product of a conservative court, bent on protecting the rights of wealthy. The Dems are the second raters here. So wanting to escape the control of the overlords by supporting the GOP is the world's greatest exercise in futility.
Be aware of the actions not the words. The GOP cuts taxes on the rich and removes restrictions on how they can use their wealth. That enables the virtually unlimited right to use wealth to undermine democracy and we're already pretty far along on that journey. Next up: anarchy, because only the rich and powerful have control in a wide open game. Everyone else is one or two steps away from poverty -- you and me included. It's easy to control people who are at risk.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
