Because I read about World news and tend to follow countries where chaos has become unbearable to its citizens, I can attest to your comment 100%.

If you look at a country like Venezuela, total chaos right now, a regime that won't go and holds to power for the sake of having power, and it is an interesting kind of power because they can't even go out of the country because they will be apprehended for being part of the Colombian drug ring, but they hold to power anyway.

The Venezuela regime has allowed its citizens to march, over and over, last one estimates that over 100,000 people attended, and what has that been good for? ZERO! On the contrary, it has aided the regime by allowing outside countries to believe their rhetoric that democracy is alive and well in that country because the regime allows people to express themselves, go out and march, but does it change anything, no it doesn't.

Drastic measure must be taken, politically correctness has to be eliminated, calling a lie what it is and not politically correct names is a must, explain to the citizens of this country, in simple terms, how the GOP is screwing them, and not allow one bit to go unnoticed. Also, the media must be made accountable every moment a democrat is in a panel, not allow the republicans to lie and go unnoticed, ot even have the last word. Anyway, that would be a start.
