Americans know how to work hard. We put a lot of hours at the office or in the field. We also know how to play hard. Millions of Americans sit in front of the television for the Super Bowl and World Series. What we don’t do is pay attention to our democracy. While our military defends our democracy from outside threats, the average voter is the domestic defender of internal threats.
Americans are ignorant of the real issues, which is why the regressive Republicans are able to use fear and jealousy as pinpoints in election. The GOP have been masters at turning brother vs. brother, father vs. son, mother vs. daughter and fighting within one class of people, mainly the working class.
