The right wing in this country has declared war on US (moderate, liberal, progressive, minority, women, trans- everythings, vegetarians, artists, musicians, teachers, free-thinking libertarians, environmentalists, yoga practitioners, non-Christians, unionists, native americans, blue collar workers, those in poverty, single parents, unmarried adults, the middle class, working people, those without health insurance, people from other parts of the world, people with open minds). Are they winning? They certainly have intimidated a lot of people who are behaving like sheep and letting them run rampant all over the place. They certainly seem to have cowed and brainwashed a large part of the population, which seems to live in constant dread as to what they will do to US next.
But right wingers have also aroused tremendous hatred against themselves, even among lifelong mainstream Republicans. The right-wing appears to be staggering in the political polls.
If WE THE PEOPLE had the courage of our convictions and had some backbone, WE never would have allowed this to happen to US. However, it is heartening to see that more voices of dissent are beginning to be heard, and people seem to be rediscovering the ability to dissent against tyranny and stand up for what remains of our democratic republic. Are WE THE PEOPLE finally getting ready to govern ourselves again?
