Frankly, we can do a lot of important work highlighting the scumbaggery of GOPrs...

Without shooting ourselves in the feet every time we come out of some situation without total and complete victory.

Fighting these motherfuckers is a gawd damned PROCESS. It has to be done increments, not in one fell swoop. And throwing out a smart, keen and effecting political operator like Nancy Pelosi while we're making definite progress, when the odds are so heavily stacked against us, is the height of utter stupidity.

We have advantages working for us, in spite of the gerrymandering, the vast amounts of right wing astroturf cash, the feckless media, Russian interference, proto-fascist propaganda and a sizable portion of the electorate that's too racist, paranoid and idiotic for it's own good.

One. There are more of us than there are of them. Unfortunately, gerrymandering has undermined representative government by giving the minority party GOPrs unfair electoral advantages.

That's not Pelosi's fault. Besides, the courts are addressing this issue right now. We just have to wait and see how that pans out.

Two. The GOPrs are overplaying their hand. They are creating the seeds for a backlash of epic proportions. The two things that Dems under Pelosi are doing are shining a light own all of the dick moves of the GOPrs and opposing them within the limits of a party out of power.

Resistance also needs to be maintained in the streets and against the GOPrs in office as well. They can only hide for so long.

Three. Not only are the GOPrs corrupt, they're incompetent. They're sowing the seeds of disaster with their malfeasance to the point where the margin of the electorate which seems to switch sides with the wind will have no other option than to choose to support Dems again, so we can clean shit up, as we've done many times before.

They're coming back our way, slowly but surely. We just need to give them a welcoming home to come to.

Four. At this point, the most steadfast GOPr supporters are showing themselves to be some of the biggest, stupidest assholes walking the face of the Earth. For a lot of the swing voters who don't necessarily identify with that kind of assholism, they're finding it to be a huge turnoff.

It doesn't help our case to go as negative as the GOPrs assholes are, despite whatever lies they tell about us. Which means that whenever those fuckers try to pin distortions of "liberal violence" on us, we push back with examples of alt-right, neo-nazi, racist Trump-humpers and their general stupidity. We have plenty examples of that shit to choose from, always keep some examples handy.

Lastly... Time. Time wounds all heels and the GOPrs these days, with their Asshole-in-Chief infesting the Oval Office are some of the biggest heels ever. There are several investigations in the works, evidence is being gathered AND Trump is his own worst enemy. He's an existential threat to the basic institutions of this country and THAT will definitely come back to bite him in his bloated ass.

It's not going to happen overnight, but it will happen. Have patience.

Look at the bigger picture. We haven't come to the end of this process yet. However, we came prepare ourselves to take the reins of governance and use them effectively once we get them back. Our job will be to undo the damages that are being inflicted on us all by GOPr dicks, and their big daddy dick, Donny Two-Scoops.

And frankly, I want Nancy to get that gavel back. She definitely knows how to wield it, unlike the Zombie-Eye Granny Starver who has it it now.

Have some gawd-dammed faith. This shit ain't over yet.

And as always, people, FDT!
