What you guys have to understand, is it's the goal of the Democratic Party to include as many government dependent idiots in the voting ranks as they can. Hence open borders, minority handouts, letting convicted felons out of jail, etc. They don't care HOW they get the power, just as long as they get it.
It's been working quite well. From ACORN on down. There is no shortage of idiots, or liberal Democratic groups to sign them up. And we're making more of them through our communist public indoctrination system of schools every year. No one rises up against it, because they will right away brand you a racist and or bigot. Stupid people have "rights" protected to them under the Constitution, just as wealthy land owners. Wealth is being taught as evil unless the governments hands it to you. No need to work and provide for yourself because the government "owes" it to you from cradle to grave. All you need to be taught is how to cash a check, or swipe a card. Wealth should not have to be earned. It should come in the mail, or better by direct deposit.
We let this become this bad, now we're seeing the result. It's always easier to breed maggots, than it is pure bred race horses, or anything else of value. Doctors and engineers simply aren't worth the effort, when you can have a much larger supply of morons and idiots who will vote for you for life if you give them a handout or a cell phone. This isn't a "slippery slope". That has long passed. We've fallen off a cliff. And we're about to hit bottom. Load your guns.
