Easy narrative which explains our situation at this point in American history
In 1980 we handed over the keys to vehicle of state to the GOP and they told all of us in America - we have a new map and we are headed in a new direction - oh and you don't have to fasten your seat belts that's restrictive' - just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Some ride.

The GOP have deliberately set a course for a bad destination for most of us in the vehicle. Even as we head to ward this place it is clear that it is toxic to the poor and middle class 'passengers', and every year they have accelerated the vehicle on this road they have put us on and we know the visuals are BAD as we speed by because their policies have left wreckage and debris in the form of broken homes, despair, lives wrecked on the road that we can we can see.

And even though we got a 'new driver' in 1992 he just set us on a parallel road that was more scenic but many amongst us in the vehicle realized - Hell, we are still going in the same direction;not good.

But we couldn't convince enough of our fellow passengers that we have to turn the vehicle around during a thing called 'primaries' and a funny thing happened - a huge 'accident' , not really~ we were deliberately hit and sideswiped and hijacked back in 2000.

Yup, hijacked. All of us.

Trapped in a vehicle that literally got us into wars and stole our money that was given to rich people with promise that by doing so that would 'create jobs'

we know how those promises turned out~ we were taken for suckers.

We had seen enough as passengers in this hurtling car and we voted to elect someone to get us out of this disaster of a ride.

We picked a new driver~ Barack Obama_ he talked a good game and gave us the impression he knew how to navigate through this mess and arrive at a better place. We gave him the job to get us the hell out of here.

Then a funny thing happened~

Obama has chosen to stay on the road when he had a MANDATE to turn the vehicle around and go the other way.

All he has done is slow the speed down but he has CHOSEN to stay on the same road.

And he YELLS at some of us who are back seat drivers telling him to turn the car around.

What's astonishing is that too many people in this vehicle repeatedly tell others in the vehicle" We know we're going in the wrong direction but we can't change drivers...we have to wait YEARS before we can get another driver who might FINALLY listen to us to TURN THE CAR AROUND"

What kind of a sick system puts up with 'service' like this?

1. Cult of personality.
Facts be damned. Sorry.
