Doesn't work like that. Government is not filled with people ready and willing to empower the party that at least claims to want fewer of them and with less power. When Dems are in power, proggies inside government feel empowered to act thusly. When Pubbies are in power, those same proggies concentrate on minimizing the damage done to the progressive agenda.I have no problems with the DOJ finding nothing to warrant criminal charges. One day the shoe will be on the other foot and I will heartily condone the same actions of a Republican administration as those we're experiencing from a Democrat administration.
No more taking the high road. They bring a knife, we bring a gun. They bring a gun we bring a bigger gun, and so on. The escalation will continue because it has become the way politics are done. When the left starts whining, I'll start laughing.
We'll see how executive orders of increasing magnitude with a Congress unwilling to do their job feels with the change from a D administration to an R. We'll see how federal judges make decisions knowing there's a new sheriff in town and their job is on the line. We'll see what federal laws a Republican administration will allow states and cities to ignore. What goes around comes around.
Each successive pendulum swing of political power brings us one step closer to the inevitable collapse. Who, that is enmeshed in the system is brave enough to try and change the system? Not a single one of them. The system serves the political class very well.
We're all frogs sitting in water being brought to a boil. We find comfort in the status quo and wouldn't have it any other way.
So we're going socialist, like it or not?Doesn't work like that.

Pretty much. When millennials don't think Social Security will be there when they retire but also don't want the responsibility of managing their own accounts, what choice is there?So we're going socialist, like it or not?
Allow your medicare to be cut so that you die before you need it?Pretty much. When millennials don't think Social Security will be there when they retire but also don't want the responsibility of managing their own accounts, what choice is there?

Not that I agree I believe his point is they have already been proven guilty because tea party groups were more likely to be targeted.
So we're going socialist, like it or not?
The largest voting block are like Jhhnn, an aging population of folks that feel they are entitled to anything and everything from a government services standpoint and have no problem with big government so long as they aren't paying for it
On top of that we have countless study after study showing how the current generation is ill equipped to take any responsibility for their actions and manage their emotions let alone finances
So yes, we are headed to an even further expansion of socialist style government

We liberals pay our taxes just like you do. So sorry we expect the government to spend that tax money on us instead of on killing brown people on the other side of the planet like you would prefer.
Not sure about this source but seems about right ....
"An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats.
Interestingly, the median household income in the United States is $49,777 — right near the point where the Democratic advantage disappears and the Republicans take over."
Ultra-Wealthy
While Democrats lose support as income increases, there seems to be a tipping point where the ultra-wealthy begin leaning Democratic. The most famous example would be the entertainment industry, where star-studded events have become a significant part of Democratic culture.
But this phenomenon is not limited to Hollywood. A review of the 20 richest Americans, as listed by Forbes Magazine, found that 60 percent affiliate with the Democratic Party, including the top three individuals: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison. Among the richest families, the Democratic advantage rises even higher, to 75 percent.
