Re: Con men in the White House, Didja ever look at it this way? The Republicans are the Marines, and the Democrats are the Army? The Marines’ orders are “Keep moving forward until we pull you out!” Then the Army comes along behind and consolidates the gains, building perimeters, airstrips and support structures.So in the oligarchs’ relentless drive to the right, begun in the Reagan years, the Rpublicans’ job is to constantly push the envelope, while the Democrats are hired to sweet-talk us into getting used to new levels of poverty and repression.
