Too much rope

My thoughts are that the next few years will play out similar to the WBush years- probably worse. The republicans will tarnish themselves far worse than they already have over the years.

The overreach will get unbearable and downright ugly for awhile and we will not recover for years, especially with the Supreme Court, but I believe in karma and the republicans have a lot of ill will coming there way.

Maybe we will recover some loss during the midterms- maybe it will be so bad that we change the tide on midterm elections and we gain more seats than republicans.

Not much we can do to them for now but they probably won't need our help doing themselves in. At least, I can hope.

And they'll fuck it up...
