Democrats need to learn how to brawl with the GOP and frame them as nuts as Trump. Go after Ryan/McConnell and leadership. If they make it personal, make it personal back in spades. Forget all bipartisanship and cooperation. Every time the Democrats act like they will be bipartisan their shorts are getting written off. We need the Jake Tapper approach and start punching every racist, bigoted prick out there. We also have to denigrate Trump supporters and allies.
We are really actually in a civil war with these people. The intend to rule tyrannically and play a no holds bar game. We can see from the coming backlash what we are facing. They are going ballistic on anyone who even questions that racist, bigoted, misogynistic crazy bastard.
If we do not start brawling and fighting with them and denigrating them like they do us, then we will continue to lose. We simply have to fight back in every vicious way we know. The Camp David stunt should really be a warning of what is going to happen.
They will not respect the elective process and I am sure are going to blitzkrieg and disrupt this next election. You can see it coming and you can feel it coming.
I am a vet. Forget this crap that we don't want to be like them and NOT fight in the same manner. It like being in Vietnam like I was and saying I won't shoot back at the Cong or NVA because I do not want to stoop to their level.

(100,150 posts)They know what they are doing is wrong. Their approval ratings show it. But I fear you may be right and we may actually have to go to war with these fucking scumbags. Of course that's what they want as it would give them an excuse to go nuclear against us. But something has to be done. Trump crossed multiple lines, and will continue to do so. This is going too far.

We live in a country where fighting is respected. Sure you need to cooperate, but you cannot negotiate with you attacker either.

Agree 100%. Playing nice with these absolute freaks will only mean defeat, as theyll run right over you.
We are in a war, and the winner gets to define reality. EVERYTHING is riding on the outcome.

(36,567 posts)We have a few bulldogs & some outspoken voices, but as a party, as team, to take on what the current GOP is? I wouldn't put a dime on it. We need more than a handful willing to get in the ring & draw blood. I don't know if they ever will be. I think they see their colleagues across the aisle as basically decent human beings.

(675 posts)Never forget we are on the right side of history. There likely will be violence, not started by us but the trumpanzees. We will put down the rebellious traitors with the help of the military, law enforcement and finally the courts. I expect thousands of people on the wrong side will end up either dead or rotting in prison before this is all over.
