Most of us have probably had the experience where our mother let us do something that we wanted to do even though it was against her better judgment. That way we got a lesson we would never forget, once we suffered the consequences of having gotten our way.
With that in mind, I propose that we elect only Republicans in the upcoming November election. Once they have taken away our wealth: our clean air and water, or health care, and our labor rights and handed them over to the captains of industry and venture capitalism and left us with only (we hope) our right to vote, then we can assure that thereafter the Republican Party will go the way of the Whigs and never again be elected to any public office. It will be a hard lesson, but maybe well worth it in the long run.
