Now everyone knows
Now everyone knows what it's like to suffer stunning defeat! The Democrats in 2016 when that clown in a business suit managed to accidentally win the presidency.Then the Republicans in this train wreck of a year, 2020.
Did we claim "I'd rather be a patriot than a Republican?" Did we threaten armed rebellion? No! Yet I see posts in social media like "I'd rather be a patriot than a Democrat" and similar. For the average citizen there is no more patriotic duty than to vote your conscience.
Take your lumps and move on. That's what we did.
