but, he, the 10s of millions of conservatives who think this way, their psychopathic leaders and conservative media complete profiteers and whatever soft headed liberals who think this way.

They could give two shits about "us" past prefering we would be dead while believing we need to kiss their asses.

When Democrats win, the pundits command us to "reach out to Republican voters." When Democrats lose, the pundits command us to "reach out to Republican voters."

Republicans are NEVER admonished to extend their outreach. Never. Outreach implies empathy, and empathy is toxic to their essential nature.


They do not want our understanding our our outreach. They want our subjugation and our quiet subservience.

Just before the election (when a Clinton victory seemed more likely than not), there were several thumb-suckers about how the prospective President Hillary Clinton was going to have to reach out to disaffected Trump voters, and Democrats were going to have to understand them.

Since then, I have yet to see a major media column or program about what the Trump administration is going to do to appease the majority of voters who didn't cast a ballot for him. Kind of makes you wonder why that is.

RepubliCONS want Dems to help them on ACA and other issues. Go for it weak as DEMS! Once you do don't ask for my vote.

our lives and-or life in prison to stop this. We are all going to find out fairly soon what "resistance" really portends and many will not like or support it.
