With malice toward none? (when Hillary wins)

There will be a temptation to become bipartisan, especially if the GOP starts singing the sweet melodies of cooperation that would have been proper around 2008.

Do not believe it, if nothing else , this election has shown that the GOP has NOT repented from the past, and would gladly seek any opportunity to get back what they think is theirs.. We should not yield one inch, and indeed, while Clinton is a centrist, we should gladly seek some gains on the LEFT. These folks had their chance to work with us back when Obama came in like a paladin, ready to endure in order to reconcile. Now, we should show our ENEMIES that there will be no saving of face.

I might have been nice, but sorry, these folks have not. I know Michelle Obama says aim high, but it gets to the point where you need to aim between the eyes.

Régressives want to put anyone not like them in bondage seems like a hard thing to do
In fact they want to send everyone to the back of the bus, corrupt the power of the state to impose their wîl
Unlike blacks alone we have the numbers to stop them. but by media normalizing their sick positions their numbers have risen enough that they now present danger.
Making their position as socially unacceptable is the only way to prevent this from spreading further

But I'm going to concentrate on November 8. Yeah, the GOP will probably retain the obstructionist attitude they've had for the last eight years, but I'll leave it to the party's experts on how best to respond.
