Do we really need a “revolution”? Or do we simply need to put America into “reverse”? For example: if we could reverse practically everything Ronald Reagan ever did (as well as that of all his copycats) we could restore the time when America really was great: a time when labor unions were an effective bulwark against corporate greed, when a college education did not mortgage a student’s entire future, when America was not trying (in vain) to be the boss of the world, and when the two party system used debate and compromise instead of divide and conquer to govern the country. As it is now, Republicans simply want to control everything, to paint the entire country red .
