You can probably already find selected polls that indicate a democrat landslide like they did last time and the time before and the time before that. Keep hoping, at least it will keep y'all libs from smashing windows an torching cars. Maybe.

If you were a responsible citizen, you would hold the D party to the same standards as you do the R. Sadly, thats not what you do. You just hack it up like millions of others and cause yourself to be the a big part of the cause of the dividedness in this country. Ironically, while bitching about others being the cause. Get your head out of your ass. Arent you too old for this childish bullshit anyways?

^^

Reactionary Jake and his ilk are the Democrat Party leading apologists

One, prove I am a Democrat and, two, prove that you are not a fascist regressive beholden to Uncle Vlad. I voted for McMullin and fascistfrank voted for the demolite.

Republicans can continue to gloat, and no doubt continue to pass callous conservative legislation which benefits the haves, and harms the have-nots. The political pendulum apexed in 2016 with the election of Trump and the Republican ascendancy to absolute power, holding all three branches of government.

But they've proved they cannot govern all of the people any of the time. They have and will continue to overreach until We the People have had enough:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
​

​

Take note of what I highlighted in your OP. It is important that you understand this.

What that statement says is valid and correct. It is WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW and began in 2010. The GOP, and those various flavors of the right, have begun to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles (Those principles being a return to Constitutional governance in which the Federal Government is restricted to those powers enumerated in the Constitution only. We are in the midsts of removing unproductive and liberty robbing emotions for the purpose of attaining power and replacing it with a government that will slowly return power back to the States, but more importantly, to the individual.

This abolishment is just starting. It began with the control of the House, then the Senate, and now the President. It will never be complete because liberty can never stop defending itself from the like of the progressive wing of the left, which wishes to centralize power in the hands of the few elite for some phony notion of security and safety from self.

The ideology you hold to be true is nuts. We live in a nation which allows the most freedom of any nation on earth. Yet, we are a nation of laws, and laws restrict some freedoms.

True enough. The cycle will come around where the America people will start electing Democrats in the futile effort to get change. But as one poster has in his signature, both left and right wings are of the same bird.

not nearly.... but you can tell yourself that.

when president Obama's ACA was submitted to congress, there were months of hearings and hundreds of GOP amendments (all intended to weaken the plan) were submitted.

so I'm not sure how anything the rightwingnuts do is done the same way that they were done previously.

and I'm pretty sure if a Clinton administration were as tied in with Russian interests as this one is, she'd already be impeached. I know for a fact that two years of hearings ensued because a spokesperson made an incomplete observation about an attack on an embassy on the sunday shows. the GOP is sitting with their thumps up their butts in the face of Russian interference in our elections; bizarre and covered-up contacts between almost every member of trump's team and putin, and lie after lie after lie after lie from the white house.

The supporters of Trump and members of the Freedom Caucus are CINO's (conservatives in name only); given their rhetoric and unabashed callous disregard for others they are not Republicans or conservatives or patriots. They have all of the attributes of a mob, fed by emotion and built on a foundation of ignorance.

I notice you put "same" in quotes. I never used that word. But that's okay, I'm used to this.

The behaviors of the Left and the Right are very similar, as I said:

• Denial (as you're doing)
• Deflection
• Distortion
  
• Spin
• Personal insults
• Name-calling
• Lies
• Hyperbole
• Straw Man arguments

Constantly. Consistently. Reliably. Predictably. You can admit that to yourself, or not, whichever.

This is why we are taking the actions we are. We are following your quote. We don't need you to agree with it, nor do we need to ask permission to do it. That is the whole purpose of what the Founders were saying. We find that the government you have been imposing to be wrong, and we are exercising our right to abolish it in favor of what it was.

There is nothing nuts about the ideology of limited government, personal liberty, and individual freedom to the life we want. We allow a lot of freedom, this is true. But when you take the freedom of the many in favor of the government for the purpose of political power, then we say enough.

You and the left are free to oppose, but we ARE and will continue to win this fight. If it ends up with the demise of the Democratic party as it is known today, so be it. I am confident that something else will rise in its place. I can only hope it will be a party that favored common sense and law over the raw, emotional and juvenile party that exists there now.

Nope. But this time we have a wild card in the White House, anti democratic forces in the Congress and a Supreme Court which has become more political and less judicious.

It will take a generation + to return our nation to what made it great; we need to continue to resist efforts to suppress voting rights and to expose the use of the word "reform" as a euphemism when used to describe health care and tax legislation; both geared to benefit the few and burden the many under the current leadership.
