STOP SAYING "MAGA" WHEN REFERRING TO REPUBLICANS! [View all]

The problem isn’t some fringe cult! As others on DU have pointed out, the problem is the entire opposition party. If there are individual Republicans in congress who aren’t subject to blackmail, or actually have high moral standards and something known as courage, they should re-register as Democrats or as a members of a different party.
