3 reasons fighting Repugs is so difficult

[liberalmediaaddict]

They dominate the courts, news media and corporate money. That's why we're always fighting an uphill battle against these theocratic oligarchs even when we win elections.

They've got unlimited financial resouces to file endless lawsuits, have stacked the judiciary with unqualified right wing ideologues and have a 24 hour cable news network that lies without fear of any consequences.

It's beyond frustrating. And unless we expand the Supreme Court and reverse some of the worst rulings by the conservative justices I don't know how the country is ever going to progress past the 1960s We could pass a voting rights bill tomorrow only to have the Roberts court immediately overturn it.

Citizens United, Shelby vs Ferguson and the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine are big reasons our democracy is constantly being undermined.

2. Basically they care not one whit about governing the county

in a responsible and competent manner. They only care about power. Nearly everything they do is to stay in, regain, or increase power, with little regard for the consequences. The Democrats have to try and fix the messes Republicans have made while simultaneously fending off even more of their rabid attacks.
