Republicans foisted a convicted criminal on the nation, again, but some are still insisting Democrats are the problem
...we may have different ways of expressing ourselves in our campaigns, but none of our candidates advocated anything near electing a Putin-loving, election-denying, twice-impeached insurrectionist to lord his convicted criminality over us with the prospect of pardoning all of his co-conspirators and roiling democracy.
No Democrat did that. No Democrat advocated that.
Here I am as a law abiding American wondering why that wasn't enough to support Democrats in this election, since almost the entire republican party invested their efforts in excusing and defending all of that anti-American degeneracy.
We're talking about this message or the other, when the most salient argument for Democrats and against republicans is right in front of us.
I mean, you can propose this or that to influence the voters who did this to the nation, but we're not talking about reason in that effort. It's actually sophistry to promote the notion that Democrats don't know how to speak to voters about policy.
In study after study, a majority of Americans have registered their support for most planks of our Democratic agenda, and this election was no different in generic polls that didn't attribute policies to parties or candidates.
The problem in this election is that a narrow majority of voters overlooked or dismissed the danger of placing a proven criminal willing to sell America out for flattery or personal favor in a position to lord it over us all.
No Democrat supported that. No Democrat voted for that. No Democrat will ever support putting a criminal in the White House. That principle difference represents the true dividing line between Americans now, not merely the legislative politics that many are presenting as the main impact or importance of this Trump victory.
Sure it's ultimately going to be about all of the people who will be impacted by this presidency, many who will lose their lives and livelihoods because of it, others who will struggle financially, many will lose even more protections that we've relied on for decades and decades. because of the wanton deviancy of republicans from what Democrats have been building up with our leadership for decades.
Republicans spend all of their political and elected time working to take things away from Americans. Democrats work to provide. The self-loathing vindictiveness from republicans against their own country can't be overstated. These people mean to take us all down in some kind of nihilist revolution. Always have, they've just never had this kind of 'permission structure' to accomplish it.
This emerging politics even comes with a predictable and familiar refrain that the danger from Trump was overstated and 'hyperbole,' as one new denizen of the dark age of fafo offered up to us today like butterscotch candy.
We've slipped past the barrier of democracy, into the early days of fascism, and we're intended to be frog-boiled until we're red or dead. My focus is still fixed on the convicted criminal that republicans have foisted on the nation, again, who intends to end us, and I'm standing firmly behind the party that intends to stand in their way and defeat them at every turn possible.
That's the message I want to hear from the party. Any less of an ultimate goal is frog-boiling.

...to rally together against republicans.
Talking to myself here, trying to speak over so many people who can't stop bashing the party like pied pipers, feels too much like dying.
Hoping for the best, checking out for a bit.
