After the last election, we learned how many Americans were clueless enough to vote for Trump.
On Wednesday, we'll know how many Americans are willing to vote against their most basic interests, despite the absolute certainty that they know they're doing it and they understand what will happen to them if Republican majorities are maintained.
If the Republicans do manage to maintain their majority in the coming election, the next two years will strip the middle class of most, if not all, of the gains they've made since FDR's New Deal. The Republicans have come right out and admitted it.
Forget any pragmatic healthcare law, we'll be facing the repeal of such things as the minimum wage, voting rights, equality under the law, as well as the elevation of the corporate "person" and the 1% of wealth-holders to the status of "Super Citizens."
Despite these radical potentialities, loss of access to affordable healthcare is going to hit the middle class, committed Republican base particularly hard. They are at or approaching the age where diseases appear suddenly, and with a vengeance. Cancer, diabetes, heart problems, the various dementias, and a host of other very serious maladies emerge in late middle age. It's also not out of the realm of realistic possibility that the Republicans will make medical debts nondischargeable via bankruptcy.
In short — on Tuesday, November 6th, 2018, Americans will choose a future that will either reaffirm the stake of the middle class in the American experiment, or we will see the Republicans absolutely destroy the core of the base who voted for them.
If that happens, make no mistake — they will cement their place as the ruling class in America, legislatively first, and then by edict. They will make damned sure that the middle class will not be able to reemerge and return to to the position of political power the middle class once held.
Is THAT really what you want America? Why would you shoot yourself in the foot to vote for thieves?
Attention voters: In the last two years, you witnessed what a Republican government can do for you: lowest unemployment since 1967, record low unemployment for all minority groups, raises and bonuses for employees, more jobs than Americans to do them, record breaking small business confidence (the group that creates the most jobs), consumer and corporate confidence at an 18 year high, the halt of missile testing in North Korea with a promise of nuclear disarmament, ISIS defeated in Iraq, the rescinding of damaging agreements like Iraq and the Paris Accord, increasing wages for middle-class Americans, strong stock market, the rescinding of fines and fees of Commie Care, a President that takes border control seriously.
Why didn't the Republicans do more? Because you had enough Democrats to stop them.
Voting Democrat puts the breaks on all these great things for America. Is that what you want? Do you want to see the abolishment of ICE? Do you want to see phony charges for impeachment of a President? Do you want to see impeachment of an honorable Supreme Court Justice? Do you want to see steps taken towards Socialism once again? Do you want Democrat leaders that preached the message of hate in power of our House and perhaps Senate? Do you want to see Speaker Pelosi again with her senile rants? Do you want your taxes raised?
I beg voters to heed the message of an old adage: If it's not broke, don't fix it. If you want to see more accomplishments, give Republicans more power.
Are you better off today than you were two years ago?
CPI was up over 5% with 2017 & current 2018 figures combined.
CPI does NOT include two of the most costly factors; Food & Energy.
You can sit here and talk about wages, jobs, whatever else you like but accounting for inflation, it's a wash; period.
You want affordable health insurance & health care BUT don't have access via your employer, like tens of millions of Americans don't? You will be screwed.
You think the GOP is gonna offer affordable health care options for those with 'pre-existing conditions?
No. The GOP has ALREADY proven they do NOT care about Americans with 'pre-existing conditions' even though Trump PROMISED better health care alternatives to the ACA, the GOP has yet to deliver that & they WON'T.
Your so called 'great economy' that is a wash for most workers is NOT paying down ANY debt.
Trump & the GOP have created a SIX YEAR RECORD DEFICIT, all while the economy is supposedly so 'great.'
When an economy is going so great THAT IS THE TIME to pay down the debt.
Trump & the GOP are DOING JUST THE OPPOSITE.
This is insanity & those like yourself, that support Trump & the GOP are willing to keep the deficits ballooning to more record levels.
Insanity.
