A thing I don’t think a lot of liberals realize about the right is they genuinely believe democracy died when Obama was elected. They’re not trying to make anything better, they’re only goal is to push democrats into the fire because it feels good.
That’s why the idea of “Hey, give them a shot. Listen to their point of view” is so laughable. Their point of view is that you should be at the bottom of the ashes.
Obviously that’s not true of all Republicans, but man, it’s a lot.

If you haven’t revisited the song “Oh My Darling Clementine” in your adult life, save it for the middle of a sunny day, when you are emotionally steady because it is devastating.
It’s about a miner who’s only family member is his little girl who leads some ducks to a river every morning. Then, one morning she trips and falls into the water.
While that’s sad in a “careless world” kind of way, it’s followed by the lyrics “Ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles soft and fine/ But alas, I was no swimmer and I lost my Clementine” That mother fucker WAS THERE. His daughter drowned in front of him & he could only watch.
