Thursday

I'm not sure that more of the same style of confrontation we had going on before the election is the most effective thing to do here. Like others have said, if your opponent is self-destructing, "please proceed, Governor." Trump and his goons are proving our point more effectively right now than anything we could say. We insisted that he'd be a fucking maniac if they elected him, and now that they did, he's doing shit that's too out there for a number of them.

I don't think Democrats are beyond criticism, but I'm definitely side-eyeing some of the types of criticism around here right now because it comes off like trying to demoralize us.
