The most uplifting Ed’d segment I’ve ever seen...

Interviewing workers at Chattanooga plant concerning Union Vote @ Volkswagen.
15 workers all white and maybe die hard republicans agreeing that the vote won’t even be close for the acceptance of the Union at the plant..(It will pass)

And their anger at republican political lies was evident...

This to me looks like a giant step towards a progressive turn around in this country.
People usually loyal to the right are beginning to see truth..

Eventually reality catches up to the lies and people start to wake up. When they do it will be like dominoes falling. Once you start to question the propaganda, everything becomes open to question. At that point, even the Koch brothers will have difficulty convincing people with lies.

This thread, for example, is about how some Republicans are starting to realize that they're benefiting from the Affordable Care Act:

Unfairness causes hot resentment and potentially, unrest. Hey, revolutions happen...and they are not very pleasant for the "haves."
