We are ****ed.
 We are all supply siders now. We have set a precedent that cannot be undone.

We support taxcuts to get our economy going over whatever other processes available.

We support unlimited war and indefensible defense budgets.

We support massive deficits if it helps the wealthy.

We support cuts in social programs if it helps the wealthy.

Do not deceive yourself. There is no one looking out for you.

We are screwed.

5. We are replacing reason and rationality with the political equivalent of religious bumper stickers. 
 
It is no longer relevant to the debate what is true. Or what works. Scientists, teachers and reporters are enemy heretics to be shouted down. No one blinks when it is posited, over and over and over that "You don't raise taxes during a recession." Even on the wealthiest people, who aren't actually IN the recession, and who include those who ARE wealthy BECAUSE of the reckless, blatantly dishonest practices that caused the whole thing.

Statements like that are no longer followed with an explanation. We can't end ridiculous tax cuts for the richest people in the country because ... ? (crickets).

It's not even ideology anymore. It's religion. Fact-free dogma chanted from the sidelines and cheerfully repeated by leaders and "experts" as though it was real. You know things are bad when the leader of the Democratic Party worries about being a "tax and spend liberal." Because that's a real thing, now, like trickle-down economics and "fighting terrorists there so we don't have to fight them here."

And we know we are doing it. We are chaining ourselves to anvils and jumping overboard because we have decided everyone is entitled to their own version of reality and we can't agree that a temperature graph going up means the temperature is going up.

Could we fit another analogy in there or would the post explode?

Democrats are ****ed.
 We are all supply siders now. We have set a precedent that should not be undone.

We support taxcuts to get our economy over worthless Democrat processes available.

We support war and defense budgets.

We donot support massive deficits if it helps the wealthy freeloaders.

We support cuts in social programs if it helps the ecnomy.

Do not deceive yourself. There is no one looking out for you, get a job.

We are finally on the actual road to recovery.
