Of course, the reason the Soviets could get away with this shit was that they had nuclear weapons. What does the GOP have as an equivalent...?
Why, a horribly high unemployment rate.
And what is the reason for the horribly high unemployment rate?
Why, GOP dogma as to non-regulation and non-government spending except on the military and rich people.
And what is the reason for the continance of the horribly high unemployment rate under a Democratic legislature and executive?
Why, a refusal to confront GOP dogma as to non-regulation and non-government spending except on the military and rich people.
And what reason is there to believe anyone likely to occupy higher federal political office in the next decade or so is ever going to do what needs to be done to confront high unemployment?
Why, no reason.
So we're fucked forever?
Why, yes.
And also we won't deal with climate change?
Why, hahahahaha.
And why are we the World's Greatest Nation Again?
Why, we're the ones who get to push down the handle as we flush humanity into the shitter.
