How that will come about is beyond me.

So many of our citizens seem primed to fall for any bullshit slogan. So many seem determined to work against their own best interests.

A prime example is Reaganomics. I, to this day, talk to conservatives that swear that Reagan's tax cuts lowered our deficit and that more money for the wealthy means that wealth will trickle down to the workers. This is "The Big Lie" in my book.
