I do not recognize Donald Trump as the President-elect.

15. Two things people are not getting

1) Trump, as horrific as he is, is not the primary issue. The far right congess is. I dont know that we have seen a single mention of tgem here. I can say for a fact, if this was completely reversed rs would have the foresight to BOTH focus on the president elect AND rail on relentlessly about the "blank check" "radical congess" etc.

2) We cant put our hands over our ears, and scream that he doesnt exist. The reality is there are two standards, and while rs get to be impetuous asses, we dont. We have to make them own him, and to do that we have tacitly "give him a chance." The "I told you so" will be spun as not giving him a chance and there for it will be our fault. NOT SAYING BE ALL LOVEY DOVEY, but have to say we have our doubts and leave itvat that. THEN, say they own him and the mess.

The math here is this, 45, 45, 10.

Our 45 percent deals in reality.
Their 45 percent does not, and they will never believe reality.
The 10 percent is the problem. The mushy middle, which buys the right wing bullshit more often than not. TO THEM, us saying "I told you so" will be a slap in the face and rejected. I know our side might gave a hard time seeing this, but it just is what it is. We need these people to figure it out on their terms. So, we have to be focused and sharp in picking our battles and not give them an excuse to make it about the evil liberal.
Going directly after trump is fools gold. If this election proves anything, it is that. Like it or not, the 10 percent has to figure that out on their own.
Our fight has to be with Congress.
