GOP Warns Dems NOT To Resist Them Or Trump. There Will Be Reprisals.

Last edited Sun Jan 15, 2017, 12:13 AM - Edit history (1)

After 8 years of GOP obstruction and open racial hatred of Obama, the GOP is telling Democrats to STFU and bend over. Now the Democrats are being told we won, we are in power and what they did is NOT relevant now. The Dems owe Trump support and loyalty.

Under the circumstances we cannot live together civilly. They will not change their attitude.

Why didn't they rescind that rule the day after the election? So frustrating.

a majority in the Senate when the rule was changed but then lost it. So we could not change it.

If they are so sure they can't be stopped why do they keep telling us that? Why the threats? It's because they aren't sure. They know they don't have a mandate. They know there are more of us then there are of them. This is the same shit the KKK preached in the 50's and they were wrong then and they are wrong now. We can win this. Will it get messy? Maybe. But it's gotten messy before and we are still here. Democrats tried playing nice and now it's time to stop playing and stop being nice. As they say, game on.

They are counting on us all to behave like we are abuse victims too afraid to do anything other than submit to their will. Problem for them is that we don't subscribe to that mindset.

Any wins they think they will have will be short lived and unsatisfying. No one wins hearts and minds by acting like an ogre.

And file it away in the appropriate receptacle.

Or we could save time and just tell the repugs where they can stick it. That way, they don't even have to send us a written copy for our files.
