OMG, that is so scary and so true. I heard about a book comparing US gov't policies after 9/11 with Nazi policies after WWI. The similarities are striking, especially the scapegoating of certain groups.
How handy then for the democrats to present the republicans as the enemy, huh?
And, how handy for the republicans to vilify the democrats.
As long as we have people who can't vote across party lines for PEOPLE instead of their club, we're going to be in the same shitty mess.
(and I am neither Democrat or Republican... I am Libertarian.)
As one, I have no problem pointing out that both major political parties have had a huge role in bringing our country to its present position.
