Can we call this what it is in terms of what the rw will understand?

[Horse with no Name]

Taxation without Representation.
Millions of Anericans voted for an ideology on how they want their country administrated. How they want their tax dollars allocated.
Their votes were invalidated by an archaic process that, in essence, allows another institution to override the will of the people.
With all of the questions and appearances of interference and impropriety, this election could have been the result of any of a number of Third World Countries with one serious potential result.
Total World Domination by Russia with our assist.
We The People have been undermined by the monied interests in this country and our treasury stands on the brink of being robbed by an orange egomaniac toddler whose best interests are not our best interests.
I guess the next question is...how many are familiar with History and what our Constitutional remedies are.
We live in interesting times.

1. They will only try to understand if the ensuing devastation hits them personally.

Their hatred supersedes everything but themselves. Reduce their SSI check and you'll get their attention. Their kid dies for lack of healthcare, you've got their attention. Otherwise, Jesus will take care of things and they will continue to hate the gays, the blacks, the Latinos, the Jews, the atheists and anyone else they deem "unworthy."

2. It is government by theft

Stolen elections on every level.

3. Unfortunately it hasn't worked for the people of D.C. n/t

4. They don't understand that, either.

They know they don't want their money funding planned parenthood or anything beyond the most basic of education, but they think I am nuts because I don't want my taxes going for bombs or cash payments to leaders of countries who treat the people horribly.
Taxes are for what RW people want, not people like me.

5. It's government without representation

just as the "sainted" founding fathers wanted.

[griloco]

6. Marks always believe the con man

Regardless of facts to the contrary. I just encourage them to enroll at Trump University and take their assault weapons to pizza parlors and liberate Hillary's child sex slaves.

7. That's why we need...

A 'tea party type response' in 2018. We need to pick a few issues and hammer them home.

There are so many to choose from, but if we pick one thing and stay after it, the less committed Trump supporters will join up.

9. Mitch McConnell justified his treasonous theft of the people's Supreme Court pick

by saying we needed to "let the people decide" in 2016. As you pointed out, the people DID show their ideological preference, by a margin of millions, but McConnell and his ilk will abuse their power to subvert the checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution. Thank you for calling it what it is. "Taxation without representation is tyranny." So is the theft of the Supreme Court.

10. Someone tell THAT to the MSM. They don't seem to have a clue what's up.

They ask pretentiously foolish questions and accept snowball answers without blinking. Normalize is their format and their only measure of reality is whatever comes out of Newt.

12. Unfortunately, the RW does not atually care about any issue consistently.

They only care about taxation without representation if they are the ones being taxed and not represented. DC? Too many blacks. Can't give them representation. Freedom of speech? Only if you're an RWer spewing lies about Obama or Clinton.

Respect the president? If it's a war-mongering R president? Sure. If it's a Democrat? Especially if it's a non-white Democrat? Spew as much vile invective as you like (and you like a lot of vile invective when it's coming from you or one or your RW media heroes.)

Disrespecting the flag? Not a problem here:

The flag should not be used as "wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery", or for covering a speaker's desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general. -US Flag Code(exception for coffins.) -US Flag Code

or here:


or here:

The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way

US Flag Code.

Ugh. I could go on, but I'm too disgusted.
