Years ago, and it might have been on Rachael’s show (?) the statement or premise was made that the Republican agenda, proposed years ago, was to swing policy so far to the right, as they’ve done, that any corrections by Democrats if and when they are elected in the future, will have the net result of pulling the Dems closer to center, not left - a net gain for the GOP. Today, we are not talking about, but witnessing that very action in full battle array.

While your point was well taken and understood, there also needs to be the realization that we may be fighting for years to restore what the goof ball in the Oval Office has destroyed, much less the time it will take creating new policy initiatives. How much time will it take to RESPONSIBLY return to clean water, clean air, maintaining our national treasures like parks and bodies of water. Not to mention voting rights, a woman’s right to choose what to care for in her own body, and on and on.

So yes, march on with integrity when you can but don’t put your knife back in its sheath, and never forget that the other side are slippery, low life money grubbing bastards (always have been) who care for NOTHING more than power, control, and whores for the president. Lead with honor when we can, and fight like a pissed off pit bull when we must. But more than anything else, get the job done.
