I may not be American but my partner is and she is unable to watch the news today ... to us it seems like the banks screw up and the poor pay up twice over - because the right wing politicians manage to blame the left wing ones and stir up hatred ... the same happened here when the COnservatives took power after the backlash against the Labour party and are now attacking the poor, the old and the infirm alike by cutting back on social services ...
I have the same feelings towards those who vote for rightwing politicians out of knee jerk reaction and have no idea of the damage they are going to do to the majority ...
I suspect the Tea Party gangs of having done a lot of the damage in the US ... I feel for you, it sucks when those with privilege already then take power ... and they get there by appealing to the more despicable traits in humanity ...
I'd say god help us all ... but I don't think there is one outside of our imagination, so I'll toast the FSM and dine on noodles ...
