When did you first realize Democrats resisting Republican atrocity was our biggest national problem?

When did you first realize Democrats resisting Republican atrocities was our biggest national problem?

For me it was a couple of days after never.

I remember some of those partisan food-fights, those contemptible childish spats over nothing...

There was one where we resisted a coup via decapitating the government over someone getting a blow-job.

And that embarrassing incident we we prevented social security being plowed into a stock market bubble.

And those whiners trying to keep abortion legal. Grow up, you!

If it weren't for some of these "food fights" we would be living in a Republican one-party nation by now.

And anyone who plays it of as, "there's plenty of blame for both sides" is fucked in the head. When human beings are involved there is also error on every side. Democrats often act like clowns... ridiculous caricature pols, but since the opposition has been a genuine fascist movement who could fail to see that there is a very real distinction that cannot be reduced to "both sides do it"?

Opposition to theocracy, fascism and smash-and-grab economics is not a mere childish thing to be put away.

Y'know why this atmosphere of rancor and distrust exists in Washington?

Because a neo-fascist movement has been trying to take over the God-damned county for decades!

That's why. Sheesh.

PS: For the "straw man" chorus; yes this is a straw man used as rhetorical device insofar as a position is subjected to reductio ad absurdum in an exagerated manner that is not fair in the way a formal debate should be fair. But this is a rhetorical piece. Saying, "If FDR was Bush he would have responded to Pearl Harbor by invading Mexico" is also a rhetorical straw man. There is no reason to believe Bush would literally have invaded Mexico if Japan bombed us. (Mexico didn't "try to kill my Dad.") But the device makes a punchy and memorable point, which is that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

AFTER they took the majority?

The point isn't that Dems do everything right. Dems do horrible fucked up things every day.

But they represent, at worst, the predictable corruptions of power and politics.

The Republicans represent some deeply anti-American ambitions.

And whenever people try to equate the sins of the two sides it over-looks that one side is actively evil.

That doesn't mean the other side is good. Life's not that simple.

But the pugs have demonstrated that they do not fall into evil as a by-product of process. They blueprint evil and implement it.

Many Democratic individuals will find their special place in hell but it is not hard to pick sides in the broad struggle.

(As I am fond of saying, "I'm sure the guy running against Hitler was a corrupt asshole... so what?")
