(4,173 posts)the point here. The time for incrementalism is over. Period. It's not a matter of time running out on problems. It has indeed run out. If we had a good deal more time we could accept incremental change and the inevitable claw-backs that the other side would make to even those small improvements. It's over. They are now aggressively and openly taking over the machinery of elections in the states. They even announce it to the world. There needs to be fundamental change and that will be difficult and probably traumatic to a degree but we are at the end. There is not another 10 years and then 10 after that. The crooked boss is a hair away from taking over the town and he is trying to succeed by hoping that purchasing a couple of trees for the front yard of the orphanage will make him seem like his intentions aren't really so bad because maybe we can get him to give them a new coal burning stove next year.
