Didn't sleep that well last night.
Put it all down on my Facebook page this morning.
Must diary and run as my autistic son has a dental appointment this morning (a difficult time at best) and then I have to drive him to school.
Below the fold we go.
Good morning.
Welcome to Kochtopia (formerly known as The United States of America).
Thanks to ignorance and an unbelievable amount of dark money, we are now closer to the end than the beginning.
I used to joke about something called End Stage Capitalism but I think we're about to see what that looks like.
The running gag was that the GOP wanted to repeal the 20th century. I think they'll pull it off.
The GOP now controls many state governments. Did you know that 34 states can force the drafting of a new Constitution? It takes 38 to ratify one. We now have many more crazy states than non-crazy ones.
Coming down the pike: A new ALEC-written Constitution. starring corporate personhood, a national Stand Your Ground/mandatory gun ownership amendment, fetal personhood/aboortion ban, minimum wage ban, some sort of Marraige Defense ban, ACA ban, get rid of EPA/IRS/FEMA/CFPB/any and all protections, militarized police state, etc.
The only upside? Most people will be dead to the unaddressed climate change problem by 2100.
Have a nice day.
