The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

When will voters realize the cries of doom, gloom, and disaster from the Republican leaders and candidates are mere distractions.

Repeatedly, each election cycle we are predictably yelled at by candidates of the GOP. We are told to beware of the complete downfall of the beloved American way of life being destroyed by ‘them,’ whomever the ‘them’ is currently being identified.

The caravan

The thugs

The cartels

The educated elites

The baby killers

The liberals — and their infamous agenda

Run, Don’t Look Back

Meanwhile, they are getting their masses to run, mob style, toward some alleged area of safety. This shell game prevents their minions from realizing they are paying more taxes than the wealthiest top 1%. The GOP devotees ignore the fact their own taxes have indeed, not gone up.

Fortunately, the poor, uneducated, homophobic, xenophobic masses are so focused on hating the folks with brown and black skin they don’t care the power-greedy Republican party are the ones creating inflation.
