I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Except the "Small government" is even bigger. The only difference is that all the money gets handed to oligarchs. The Republicans have never reduced spending while in power.

This kind of shit is why the right keeps winning. Even the people that oppose them buy into their framing and repeat their lies and propaganda.

The right is REALLY good at messaging it's insane. The culture wars they start have created a "bogeyman" and it's insane.

I really hate it and how it sticks to the zeitgeist. It just makes me sad.

It's because the right gets what they want by tearing things down and destroying, and instilling fear. It's inherently much easier to destroy and scare people than to build and inspire people
