Once the current crop/generation of Democrats are gone.

There's a new crop coming up.

They're not going to play by those "nice" rules the current one does.

I look forward to seeing this come to fruition.

...that's his thing.

He shouldn't be allowed to do that here.

Notice all of the macho bullshit? Great job, John.

He came back to troll Biden and Dems, helped knock the president out of the race, and is now licking his chops.

Bring spoons to a gun fight. It would seem our collective higher education would be able to figure a way out of this. Stop being nice when it comes to the future of our country.

We're playing my the Marquis of Queensbury rules, but the MAGAts are all playing by street-fighting rules.

We've lost before we start. I'd had hope that the American electorate would punish their base boorishness. It hasn;t. If we want to survive, we need to recognize the kind of fight we are in and act accordingly.

There is no "unity." When they say unity, they mean we entirely surrender.

and not act like republicans. If both parties are willing to ignore the law to gain power, this country will destroy itself.

It’s probably too late at this point.

You can’t play the “rules” and expect to win against an opponent who does not.

He's setting things up to blame democrats for everything bad that happens the next few years. It won't be the Republicans fault for doing the bad stuff but democrats fault because they didn't fight back hard enough.

we go high, fight dirty, run a clean campaign. No matter what democrats do it's wrong. But everything is fair game for Republicans. Go figure.
