Era of liberalism is back

The minority on the right, the defenders of the 1% see the possible threat to their lavish 1920s lifestyle threatened. Since 1981 they have ransacked the country’s finances, impoverished the 99% at their expense, outsourced the middle classes jobs for their own benefit, stuck the middle class and the poor with the bill for their luxurious “Great Gabsy” style partying, with bogus wars, destruction of the world’s climate polluting the soil, the water, the air, and the brains of the weak minded who listen to the right radio talk shows and Fox, and now, that the president made some references about all of us in the same boat together, that the right denies climate change they are freaking out. The fact that the president was voted by more people than Romney, that the Senate picked up two more seats, and that the House was only kept in the hands because of gerrymandering of republicans in State Houses, even though democrats received a lot more votes than republicans did, is proof that the GOP is becoming more and more isolated, by the American people and by an ideology that has become obsolete, that is stuck in an era that has passed us, and time does not go back, the GOP is stuck in the industrial era and the world is already moving forward past the era of computers into tablets and smartphones.

The USA witnessed from 1981 until 2008 the reduction in the size of the middle class, the increase of the poor, and the biggest transfers of wealth from the middle class and the poor in history. We also witnessed the erosion of rights by the government, starting with George W Bush and the Patriot Act, the wiretapping of phone calls, the intrusion in having full access to emails, tweets, and all personal information, supposedly for security reasons.

The GOP has been in the business of voter suppression for many years, but we saw nothing like what we saw in 2012. And to prove that this issue has not gone away we can see the GOP redistricting the state of Virginia to try to benefit themselves, and in the state of Pennsylvania where they want to change the electoral college and base it on the amount of districts won by one candidates instead of the total amount of votes, thus defeating the will of the people. The latest reminds us how the Soviet Union used to operate, or even Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Kaddafi in Libya decided elections.
The GOP has proven over and over for almost half a century since the civil rights act that the way of winning elections was by not allowing groups of people to decide who their representatives would be.
When the GOP is concerned that the era of liberalism is back the rest of the country should then feel at ease. When liberals were having their way the country enjoyed the largest middle class in the history of humankind, the civil rights act was being passed and the country had a better standard of living as the country was the leader of the world, not just in military spending but in every respect, a place that is now part of history and not of the present that we live in.
