You significantly contort yourself into a pretzel to try and make little gotcha points using out of context historical references. One need look no further than the totality of current affairs to see where those you’re aligned with politically and currently drive your party’s leadership agendas. You may not agree with it, that’s fine, but you’ve become an ignored minority in your own party. The days of the Blue Dog Democrat are long since gone. You all have no impact on the legislative affairs of your party, and your continued attempts to rationalize behavior or contextualize it basically provide cover.
There are some outspoken former Dems who’ve elected to stand against the crazy and they should be praised, not marginalized. There is no greater threat to American hegemony and democracy than the liberal left. They’re attacking the 1st amendment (White House and Govt silencing dissenters through pressure campaigns of social media), the 2nd amendment (always been under assault by the left), the 4th (illegal FISA activity), the 5th (latest Trump trial), the 6th (Jan 6th people), the 7th (Letitia James), the 8th (Letitia James), and so on.
And the most in your face activity is the lawfare being waged against the GOP, with the most talked about being Trump, but it’s happening all over, Wisconsin, AZ, and a few others.
