It isn't getting much comment from the media but I think one of the most important things going on in the United States today is the glaring difference between the Republican and Democrat Parties. While the Republicans are gutting any form of gun control, gutting a woman's right to control her own body, and gutting child care, and this just in a single week, at the same time the Democrats are seeking to establish gun control and the protection of schools, relieve child poverty, assure a woman's right to have access to the drugs to give a woman the right to control her own body, and put in place programs to assure American children have enough to eat.  I understand why oligarchs support the Republican Party; what I find surprising is that middle and working-class people by the millions still support and vote for Republicans. They literally don't seem capable of understanding that the Republicans are committed to degrading their personal wellbeing, ending democracy, and turning them into peasants.
