The republican party is coming apart at the seams but in their death throes we see that they still have a blood lust to kill off anything that helps women, students, people of color, the aged and the rest of us in the working middle poor class. We are mostly democrats so the outgoing republicans are sharpening their attacks and grabbing any of us who are near to them as they swirl down the drain of irrelevance. The propaganda and dirty tricks are never ending with them as they try to poison our great democratic wave that has hit this midterm and is poised to hit again in 2020. The idea that they would learn from their metaphorical butt kicking is never going to materialize.
The reason republicans won't learn is that they think they know it all already. What they believe is that we who are embracing science, logic and common sense are the ones who are wrong and no amount of objectivity will ever change their completely subjective thinking. It is why so many years ago I moved on from them and focus my time on those who can be reasoned with. By isolating them I have effectively given them nothing from me to turn into the opposite of what it is. They are not smart enough to create an alternate reality that is successful in fooling intelligent people. They may keep their dwindling base occupied with simple confusions but even they are not immune to harsh reality over time contradicting their desired beliefs.
So as the clock runs out on the current republican majority in the House they will try to pass anything that may become law before January 3rd. when democrats reclaim the people's House. Like the last 2 years have shown us, all we can do is protest, march and occupy whenever and wherever the opportunity arises. The courts were thought to be associating with republicans, especially given trump's rhetoric but even they are not an endless whipping board for the republican whip. As justice Roberts announced yesterday, he sees the courts as being independent so now trump and republicans have alienated another plank of their takeover of our government. Maybe we will get through the next 40 odd days without too much more devastation but let's not depend on hope shan't we?
