What We Were And What The Republicunts Want To Get Back To

[Kosh]

When it comes to the root of the issue, AFTT47 is correct in my opinion.  Trump won because the people who voted for him are stupid in some capacity.   If you look at the entirety of government policies as it relates to a particular country, I like to think of it as an iceberg.

At the top is the shit that politicians want you to see, and below the surface is the massive stuff you either can't see or don't want to see.

For decades conservative politicians have screamed about the top and obfuscated everything else below the surface.  Liberals are going to get your guns, god is perfect and made your gender correctly, women should have no choice in being an incubator, immigrants cause all the crime and took all your jobs. 

Below the surface you have environmental policies, regulations that are setup to protect workers and consumers, foreign policy, clandestine spying on it's own citizens through data collection, wealth inequality, universal health coverage, poverty policies, and social security.  Basically.. IMO.. the really really importantant crap.  The crap at the top is a red herring that Christian conservatives froth over so they ignore what lurks below.
