What you are saying is something that a lot of us have been shouting and that is that this was never about economic insecurity it was always about being assholes.

About the only thing that I’ve been able to come up with is to maintain my sense of equanimity in the face of all the preposterousness, and to become more directly active in local politics rather than tossing money at it. So I’ve joined the League of Women Voters, am helping shape the questions local and state candidates are asked to respond to for the election voting guides, and to give testimony at the state congress hearings on issues important to me. It’s a tough situation, but taking rational action helps me deal. I agree with Jen about the futility of so many types of response. Right now we’re playing Plato’s game of “Does might make right?” and Might is having a good day.
