The Game: Backlash
The GOP has spent the last 35 years creating the current economic, international and social crises in this country. Exploiting fear and desperation in poor and working class lives, while creating a cushy environment for the über-wealthy.

Then two years ago, a Black man became President of the United States.

Apparently, the good white people of America need to fear this man, because he's "out to make whitey pay."

"OMG, 'New Black Panthers' are out to get granny!"

It's no accident that some of the worst John Birch Society rhetoric of the past has been dusted off and replayed just for this occasion. The Teabaggers today are just like the rabid White Citizens Councils of the past... Even if the teabaggers themselves have failed to make the connection. It's not hard to exploit a bunch of angry clueless fucks in America at all.

There's always going to be a bunch of black and brown people to blame for our troubles, this is America after all. It's been that way from day ONE.

The goal is retake Congress so the rape of the economy can resume unabated, and a lot of people who have been victimized by the GOP's anti-American whoring for the rich will willingly sign up for more abuse this coming November.

Then the bullshit will recycle, ad infinitum.

When this country goes down the drain, we won't need to blame our ubiquitous coterie of foreign enemies, we will have done it to ourselves.

1. There's a lot of truth in that post. It describes my worst fears
exactly.

2. The GOP doesn't give a flying damn about anybody but themselves
and their rich buddies.

The rest of us can eat dirt, for all they care.
