White Working Class Rewarded Obstructionist GOP. What A Bunch Of Idiots.

The GOP obstructed Democrats and Obama for 8 years. They stopped or killed legislation that would have made life better in the rural areas. We would have had infrastructure. The GOP killed 270 Democratic bills. They undercut Obama on many key forward moving issues. And when the recession was at its worst they cut food stamps, trashed unemployment insurance by limiting how long you could draw.

They made people's lives more miserable by shredding the safety net and blocking Democrats. Meanwhile they put the blame on democratic and progressive principles holding minorities hostage in in slavery through RW media. Billionaires funded the lies.

So now the GOP has all the power and we have Mr. Trump. And the middle class worker put them their because they hated minorities who TOOK ALL THEIR JOBS.

Everything is so damned upside down.

Just as the GOP was so successful at framing "Obamacare" that even now, support for the ACA is much higher than support for "Obamacare".
