There once...

There once was a bigot named Trump
Who usually smelled like a rump.
Voters rebelled
Repelled by the smell
The next step is jail for the schlump.

There isn't going to be a Civil War.

The fearmongering about it is really tiresome. Trump's supporters stopped showing up at January 6th-type rallies as soon as the feds starting busting some of the seditious idiots for January 6th. Most of the Proud Boy, etc., leaders are either in prison or in hiding, afraid some 16-year-old is going to identify them on video from January 6th.

They thought it was all fun and games until they discovered that there were ramifications. There will always be some isolated individuals or small groups that will raise hell, but the claim that there's going to be some mass uprising on the scale of the CW is ridiculous, because for the most part, they're a bunch of bigoted cowards who are terrified of everything, including consequences.

Party affiliation is self-determined.

Anyone who wants to be a Democrat can be a Democrat. There isn't a separate thing called a "Real" Democrat.

Democrats are nearly as varied as humans are. Some day, we'll figure that out.

We need all of them, not just the ones who agree with us on every issue, and we need Democrats who appeal to their potential constituents, not to some generalized concept of what we think every Democrat should be.

About TwilightZone

My username is taken from the 1982 song by Golden Earring, not the '60s TV show, though I'm quite fond of the latter, as well.
