In 1980 the Republican party constructed “conservative” think tanks to promote the Reagan Trickle Down Revolution. They were successful because they played the long game. They turned up the heat slowly on the boiling frog. We suffered through “conservative” rule across four decades. But now, their every move is desperate and double down. They know it’s over. We are in a position now to make fantastic gains against the right. We will finally win a modern social infrastructure. Republican power brokers know that. They are just trying to stall as long as possible. Their plan is to get corporate Democrats elected over Progressive Democrats. That strategy will only work on older voters. The bad news is that my social work profession was pinned down through my entire career.
