I'm sure your namesake isn't very happy with them either.

I'm sure he's not unhappy with them enough to say he'd be happy when they get the wall when Trump is elected.

they deserve it

No one, fucking no one, deserves fascism, and you saying otherwise shows just how privileged and out of touch you really are.

I'm not privileged in the slightest, I'm incredibly pissed off that we're going to have to go through this because of them. I'm pissed off for all the people who will absolutely suffer because of them.

Is what you could say to the literal fascists trying to take over the country, but no, instead you'd rather criticize elected liberals because they aren't fighting in exactly the way you want then to fight.

You can't blame a wolf for being a wolf. Republican fascists are a lost cause, they're the wolves acting like wolves. Of course I'm pissed at them, but it really feels like the DNC is trying to cling on to the old ways so hard that they're willing to damn us all.

They could be better if they gave a shit about people. I dont think Republicans can be better than they are. They are finally allowed to take the mask off and be who they always were.

You can't blame a wolf for being a wolf.

Then get rid of the wolf, once the wolf is gone you can start your fight with the person you think was too timid in fighting the wolf, but until you get rid of the wolf, every time you stop to chastise the timid, the wolf gets an opportunity to strike.
