I wonder how Rethugs manage to pacify the lunatics

After a Democrat wins the Presidency, it appears we will then have to expect decades of right wing extremists terrorizing their own country.

I wonder if Thugs such as BushCo are able to appease them by at least pretending that they wanted smaller government. Even if it is a lie, at least it keep the nutjobs at bay. I know that there might be other factors, like war, gays, abortion, etc, but all those promises are based on lies. And anyway I like to settle on the idea that the most dangerous nutcases are the ones who think the existance of government is sheer evil.

I wonder why Dems can't play the same game, and psychologically appease these home grown righty terrorists somehow, pretend like they want to get rid of government completely like the Repukes do, at least for our own domestic security. I don't think there would be any harm in that.

they don't pacify them

Unfortunately, many of the newer drugs don't exactly work as advertised and few drugs work on more than 85% of their target audience. It's a nation wide experiment. When it's complete, they'll just start adding whichever is best directly to the water.

by making them believe they control the national agenda. Oh... wait... they do.
