The American Election Spectacle

Republicans, the GOP (Grand Old Party), have degenerated into a squabbling, dangerous, slightly fascist kind of "hot mess." There Presidential candidates sometimes outdo each other in the "fantastical" conceptions of economics (trickle-down wealth), politics (money and greed are good), religion (the end of the world is coming and I want to be "your" president), and every other possible civilized construct.

Republicans resist knowledge and science (what "global warming"?); they condemn all government actions (we are not making "war" hard enough, with enough vigor, etc.); they resist all change and growth for anyone but themselves (the "middle class are struggling, and my plan will help them" -- I just can't prove it)!

The the Democrats? The Progressives? The Democratic Socialists? They just don't know.
