Republicans have been all in on total partisan warfare at least since Gingrich made it official in 1994. That's 30 fucking years ago. How much longer is everyone else supposed to put up with their crap?

You dont. You continue the dialogue and slowly bring people over the line, like by little, but by bit.

It was working. Thats how Obama beat Bush, but then we just got complacent and started screaming at the other side again. That caused people to hop back over the line. Then Trump got elected.

It should have been pretty easy to get him out, because he was incompetent. But people dug in their heels and screamed louder. So people dug in their heels and completely doubled down on Trump.

Thank god he was so incompetent that enough folks did leap back over the line in spite of many voices on the left doing everything within their power to basically scream stay on your side of the line, we dont want you over here

But the truth is that we did want them over here. Because we needed their votes to get Trump out of office. Now we are in a position where we are screaming at them to get back to their side of the line, and they actually might. Which is not what we want, cuz losing votes to the other side is not conducive to getting reelected.

Its just common sense. Also this is the most politics Ive ever discussed on GameFaqs. I like this new quarantine, it feels way more safe to be able to have these discussions than it did in the past.
