(34,051 posts)At this point I can just be saddened and oddly amused by it all. This feels very McCarthy. Hey let's blackball everyone who does not agree or at least does not ask for forgiveness. Creepy, authoritarian behavior.
Really, the problem is all theirs. I simply do not understand the need to do this. This is a DU thing I suppose, I hope. Sometimes this place feels really nuts.
When did we lose sight of the fact that if we lose it is OUR fault. Not the fault of others who found what they wanted elsewhere? We need to provide what is good in a manner they understand not take them down and neener neener the hell out of them. I think most of us cannot comprehend a vote for Trump under any circumstances but the fact is he won. There was lots of bad stuff interfering and helping him (my obligatory statement so I do not have to come back and see all the crap you get if you do not make sure everyone knows that you do not in any way, shape or form think it was all or even mostly Hillary's fault) but the most horrible human being on the planet came close enough to steal it. It was herculean for sure to manage that but it was still doable so what do we do about this? We blame everyone else and try to make them pay penance. Yup, that is how you win the next election.
Sorry you did not know that I was being sarcastic. I was trying to be amusing as well as supportive. At least you know now.
