Is this another "burn it down" proposal? This is why you can regulate common sense. Burn it down and there may be nothing worth saving in 2021.

Republicans got where they are glacially. Unfortunately for us, our path is going to be strenuously more difficult. America just loves Republicans better thanks to media, education and religious conditioning.

When you're spending more time resisting Democrats than resisting Trump, you're not part of #The Resistance; you're a troll.

... many people of that mindset exist here. There are times when I wish I could just let-em-have-it and give them a piece of my mind (#noFilters) but I'd probably run afoul of the rules of conduct. So I just bite my tongue.

Actually, I often wonder if people like that are actually Democrats to begin with. (#NotRealDems)
