I never liked Stern, he creeped me out, but wow.

I just turned 73 and I can tell you young folk what i have seen as a lifelong voter. Indeed I was one of the 1rdt 18 year old who were allowed to vote after they reduced it from being 21 and have voted in almost every local and national election since. As I have watched the Republicans take power over and over, the pattern is set: they only see the elite, to hell with the rest of us, So over 50+ decades of voting history. it has only gotten worse and now it has evolved into this.

Now I know why my mama taught me to never *ever* trust a Republican. I didn't believe her as a youth, although I voted a straight Dem ticket all those years. It just seemed that the Dems always got it (sometimes) better than any Repug.

So hey, Rachael Maddow is right; we ARE in a dictatorship, take it from one of your elders.
