American Voters Voted To Play A Six Chamber Russian Roulette Economically & Socially.
By putting the GOP in charge is like playing Russian Roulette with all chambers loaded. They will push their extreme right agenda and workers will descend further into slavery. Women will lose more rights. And infrastructure will crumble even further. The American landscape will suffer in ways not yet imagined. And religion will continue to invade the public sector.
What is worse with so many state legislatures now in GOP control with a strong religious bent there will be a push for a Constitutional convention to reshape this government. The religious right is already on board to install the Bible as the law of the land. They demand civil laws and public laws based on the Bible and 10 Commandments.
Christian organizations are coalescing and already announcing plans for new militancy against secular government.

2. The +45'er's Seem To Think They Won't Need Social Security & Medicare.
The younger ones I talked to have bought the idea they won't have either program. That means without either they won't survive economically. The think they will work until the die or as long as they want in good jobs. As a former DOL employee, the new corporate and business model will toss them aside before they are 50 to the minor leagues of Walmart and burger flipping.
The younger generation has bought into the idea that they will have multiple successful career changes making as much or more money as they get older. That meme is a lie. Very few workers survive economically under such labor conditions. With no social contract with employers and no safety net 90% of these voters are headed for a miserable and poor old age. They will truly be a "dog food" generation when they reach their older years.
What I have said may sound stark, but it is what will happen if the GOP scraps everything it wants to. Just read the old libertarian Koch platform and the outcome for the nation should be obvious if that platform were to become reality.
