“Republicans are over here being straight-up mercenaries,” Longwell said. “Democrats give everybody Fridays off and talk about work-life balance.” She apologized for yelling into the phone. Democrats “are not built for when the fascists come." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

They say they want to save democracy. First they’ll need to get out of their own way.

This used to be the very thing conservatives claimed to be against — masked federal agents, uninvited and unwanted by the state, killing American citizens in the street for practicing their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.

💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.
