*Congress: the opposite of progress; useful idiots for the global elite, sequestered in a mausoleum-like structure that keeps them oblivious to the actual needs of the people who elected them.  The roof of the structure known as the Capitol is shaped like a mushroom because that's how the owners of congressmen treat them; they keep them in the dark and feed them manure.

The Democratic Party favors building vote farms called housing projects. (See Republican Party.)
