The Republicans WILL blame us for what is coming.

[NorCalBlue]

Because they always do. For whatever mess they vote themselves into, they somehow find a shifty way to blame us. The only solace I will have going forward in the next two years before midterms is by saying this:

“YOUR President chose this path for you. You have THE SENATE! You have THE HOUSE.! You even have THE SUPREME COURT! There are no guardrails for your President and your party could change this disaster right now, but they don’t want to. Every single bit of this is YOUR fault. Shame on you.”

I have a lot of Republican acquaintances as the result of my career. The art of public shaming needs to be reborn. If it makes me look petty to any of you, I apologize, but for the next two yrs I’m going to be a massively petty ass bitch.

10. Music to my ears!

“ You showed how you feel about her by voting for a treasonous, homophobic, misogynistic, bigoted, rapist, convicted felon with an affinity for bragging about his sexual attraction to his own daughter - and think you're the victim for her choice the cut that cancer out of her life? That's wild, kiddo!”

The whining, trump supporting, mother-victim? Yeah, f*ck that noise. Thanks for sharing that golden nugget.

5. I doubt it. We keep assuming they're reasonable.

They always find ways to blame the Democrats for their problems. Time to push back every single time it comes up.

3. Hear, hear!

Thank you, NorCalBlue. I'm in full agreement. I will memorize and repeat your words. I too will join you. Petty United. P.U.

4. I agree! We have to speak up.

I'm so glad you started this thread.

We Democrats have been polite and censored our conversations too long, while allowing Republican family, neighbors, co-workers, and everybody else to believe lies and fantasies.

We need to politely but firmly start bringing up the ways in which Republican laws and policies are hurting us and others. In the moment, when we have the chance. Calmly, not rude or hysterical, just stating facts.

The old rule about not discussing politics needs to be retired. It's on.

7. I agree. That rule about 'not talking politics' socially has left us all unable to

discuss important issues with security and comfort even with family. In other countries I have been to, it is always startling to hear people discuss politics with ease and vigor.

I was not there, but my SIL had a Thanksgiving dinner for family one year and the conversation rule was "no sports, no religion, no politics and no food", if you can imagine no food talk at Thanksgiving! The 'no food' deal was because my very self-righteous other SIL considered herself to be a heath food and vitamins 'expert' and no one could stand it.

9. This has been standard for generations and it's hurting our democracy.

We Democrats are polite and considerate of others' feelings, and then they go online or listen to hate radio and gobble up a bunch of propaganda, lies, and fantasies. Then they go vote for Trump.

We are enabling them to compartmentalize their voting behavior as somehow separate from their real lives. We fear being disliked, losing support, being ostracized. Time to give them a little fear of being ostracized.

8. Fascists have no shame and never take personal responsibility.

That's a given!

11. I saw it framed like this:

From an art history Facebook group yesterday…

75% of the country is center-right, 25% is liberal. We (trump supporters) had to do this because we won’t be ruled by a minority. You can’t tell us how to think.

🤪 Think?
