(88 posts)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.

(8,399 posts)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.

(2,845 posts)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.
