Let's make fun of Trump, bash him, etc. while we can!
(07-17-2016, 04:31 PM)Anthony Wrote: A song that reached its peak position on the Billboard charts the week before the 1968 election - Al Wilson's The Snake - has proven to be the Ballad Of The Republican Party.

When the Republican oligarchs took the Archie Bunker/"hardhats" in beginning with that election, they had to know that these voters were "snakes" who did not share their Ayn Randian economic agenda - but they just couldn't resist exploiting their hatred for the hippies and the then increasingly hostile black militants.

The only shock in this exquisite morality play is that it took so long for the super-richies to get bitten - bitten, of course, in the form of the Donald Trump-led hostile takeover of their party.

The rapacious, plutocratic narcissists have gotten a taste of the medicine that they thrust upon us liberals. They have now discovered that they couldn't promise a (fundamentalist) Christian-or-else America in return for accepting brutal economics. Their salami slicing has failed.

I'd say that they deserve Donald Trump as President and the economic meltdown and maybe some military disasters. But we liberals have  been paying a price except in those localities in which we dominate.
