Remember the enormous outrage when Hillary said there was a "vast right-wing conspiracy"?

116. The Republicans are better at playing the "long-game" than we are

Or should I refer to it as "the long-con"? Like watching a glacier, I guess.

It took 40 years of politicizing and packing the courts, dominating state legislatures,
gerrymandering, voter suppression laws, repealing voter protection laws, the rancid
election campaign finance rules, and the overall abuse of power whenever they could
sink their bloody claws into it -- but that is why we are in this mess today.
They use the electoral college to their advantage. They use the guaranteed minority-rule
of the Senate to their advantage. They exploit the media to their advantage (because they
have no shame about lying)

We needed to counter-attack all these "offensive" tactics as they were deployed -- but they
seemed like small potatoes at the time. Now, we are playing from a position of one who is
behind in the score. This is now in the trenches --
suspend the filibuster when needed and expand the SCOTUS before it is too late.
We need to adopt their relentless style of warfare.
