If you still think Republicans are on your side, you get what you deserve.

How many times do you need to see the establishment work together against the public for your to realise that there is no good political party at this stage? Are there decent individuals? Sure, but it's simply not enough, and doesn't justify a party at large.

The Republicans are controlled opposition. Their purpose is to push the same politics, only slower. Their purpose is to boil the frog, and you're the frog. Turning to politicians is beyond naïve.
