The lies the right have shrilly, virulently overwhelmed the media with for decades have proven far more effective for the GOP than dems actually helping American people. Dems thought all reasonable people would see the hate & hypocrisy & reject the GOP but they underestimated the allure of hate.

Getting really, really tired of the "I didn't vote for this!" crowd when yes, in fact, they DID vote for EXACTLY this- they just didn't think it would affect their corner of the world . (and they sneered at anyone who was raising the alarm)
