So Republicans are always in charge?

When Republicans barely win elections and have legislative majorities - Republicans say with no MSM pushback ‘elections have consequences, we are going to jam everything we want through our small majority’

When Democrats win big or small - Republicans say with the MSM agreeing - ‘We need bipartisanship, nothing should pass without Republican agreement’

When they are the minority they have the power.

They blocked so much of what Obama wanted to accomplish.

Not on policy, but out of spite.

They wanted him to be a 1 term president.

I was disgusted with the republican party before Trump came along.

Now they are 10 times worse.

They are unpatriotic.

They don't believe in democracy.

They don't believe in the idea of America.

They want a theocracy run by corporations.

They are the greatest threat this country has ever faced.

They are my enemies.

They are enemies of my country.

Not playing by the same old rules. I’m expecting. Not putting up with the pablum the R’s offer. Making our own path to this 21st century n doing it right the first time. First day looks good...
