good lord what will happen here. C. a quarter of the nation is no longer democratic. it is so terrified of the future that it would instantaneously convert to dictatorship to preserve the status quo.
Another crazy part is that these Rs are making...$174,000. Good salary, but not that great really. it's not about money. They are ideologues, which makes it harder.
“The Republican Party has adopted an attitude that if democracy helps them be in power, then, fine, they’re for democracy. If it blocks them from being in power, they’re against democracy,” said Stevens, whose book about the president’s takeover of the GOP is titled “It Was All a Lie.” “I don’t even think it’s that they are afraid of Trump. I think it’s that they think that this is going to further their ambitions.”
You sound petty out of touch with the masses when you proclaim that $174,000 is "not that great really." To a whole lot of folks making $40,000, $60,000 . . . $174,000 IS that great, really.
