Elizabeth Warren Just Offered Terrifying Proof Republicans Have Given Up on Democracy

[Hortensis]

25. They always did. As former Republican John Dean sadly

admitted after decades of observation, conservatives in office always seek to rule when they get control of government, not govern as representatives of the people, and they also dependably see office as a chance to share the wealth among themselves.

No new proof needed, this is a pattern of centuries. Individual cases of course excepted.

Strong conservatives are unsuited by nature to run democratic governments meant to be of, by and for the people. They do not believe in or accept the principles of equality, they fought democratic government in the days of our nation's establishment, and only ethics practices that in this era they've long since abandoned kept them at least slightly in check in the past.

And since they're half of us, they're always...half of us and are not going away. The notion that Democrats and others on the left are weaklings and losers is so wrong. We prevailed at the founding of our nation and have prevailed overall ever since. We owe all that we value to the strength of our liberal principles and progressive solutions and to all the liberals, moderate conservatives, and others who made them the defining rule of government.

Yes, conservatives joined wholeheartedly in the hard work of building a prosperous nation personal aggrandizement by personal aggrandizement, but we owe all our progressive societal advances and liberal principles of government to our centuries of victories for liberalism and progressivism over never-ending conservative resistance.

So there. We need to start being proud of ourselves for the right reasons and oppose them for the right reasons. Nancy knows.
