Still a conservative and one with whom I'm unlikely to agree even half the time, but he sees what we are all seeing. Our democracy is at stake from this Trumpist cult and RW idiocy.

So did anybody who was tuned in to the RNC nomination of Trump, and stuck around for the MSNBC commentary. Steve and Nicolle’s shock mirrored my own, and of the two of them, Steve Schmidt gave the most impassioned from-the-heart on-the-spot peroration against Trumpism and in defense of our Constitution that I think I’ve ever heard in my life. You just can’t fake that.

But DUers either get it or they don’t. I’m sick of trying to explain it to those who don’t. Thank you for being one of those who gets it.

Sorry but those people always seem to be the ones who win elections, just look at Texas. Very purple but we get the sorriest pieces of shit in our governor, legislature, Congress. We will always vote and always vote D in our family but I have zero hope of it making a difference.

Our primary/run off elections are now and most people aren’t even aware.

We are lizard people Republicans versus the rest of us.

A battle to exist. Only one can in the long run. And it sure as shit better be us.
