3. Rob, Republicans Have Been Dead Inside For Decades Only Billionaire Cash Keeps Their Corpses Walking

And soon that won't even get the job done.

Their party of liars traitors, and outright scumbags is almost to implode.

Did you see the million people volunteering to get out the vote?

5. I'm impressed, but...

...I've been around the block often enough to know how this story ends. The attention will die down, there will be a few bills introduced in Congress, and they'll all fail, even after they've been watered-down to mere ghosts of themselves in a vain attempt to pick up votes. I mean, if a bunch of dead elementary school students weren't enough to bring about change, what makes anyone think a bunch of dead teens will move people more?

What I'm more interested in seeing is what "these kids" do once the process reaches its inevitable conclusion. Will that cause them to redouble their efforts at effecting change, not just through marches, but through wide-ranging involvement in the political/electoral process? Or will they retreat into a cynical bitterness, much as I believe many of my generation did after seeing the Kent State and Jackson State killings go unpunished? When it becomes clear there isn't going to be any justice, do you force justice to be done, or give up?
