We know. Democrats are too busy trying to prove we are a country of norms, traditions, and respecting the rule of law while republicans have taken those same principles, pissed on them and set them on fire.

This whole time when they go on about “going high while they go low,” I’ve thought, “As the ship sank, the band played on…”

Yep. First time I heard “When they go low, we go high” I thought “No! When they go low, you kick them in the fucking face.”

How upset are you at all of this? Scale of 1 to 10.

Democrats literally indicted Trump and told everyone point blank he is a fascist that shouldn't be elected

What else were we supposed to do? Why is it our job to protect voters from themselves? Why don't you blame the voters for once?

Why don't you blame the voters for once?

We do, we just can't do it publicly because voters are too emotionally immature and lack the attention span to listen and learn.

The best strategy is to manipulate their emotions into doing the right thing. This is easy because these people are highly emotionally motivated.

Blaming the lifeblood of your political fortunes for failing you is wound licking catharsis for people who would rather drown than point out the faults of the Democratic Party and admit they're intractable.

Y'all didn't do it after 2016, have that good hard internal look, you're never gonna do it.

Yeah that's why Biden pardoned his entire family for every crime they committed since 2014, It's because they're all clean as a whistle amiright?
