We have a white supremacist in the White House with zero legitimacy, hated by a solid majority of the American public, and who has single-handedly launched a mass nationwide resistance movement that has reached even the reddest corners of the country. The courts then hand your side a stunning and complete victory, driving the popular vote loser to near madness. So how does the nation’s top elected Democrat respond?
Oh my f’n god. He’ll never learn! NO ONE voting in 2018 wants “bipartisanship.” “Bipartisanship” killed the Democrats during the last real president’s term. So why try to legitimize the asshole president by treating him like a real president? He’s not! He’s not even in fucking charge!
NO ONE voting in 2018 will give Chuck and his crew props for being “the grownups in the room.” That didn’t work for Obama. No one will give Chuck and his crew props for “when they go low, we go high.” That didn’t work for Hillary Clinton.
There isn’t a single person saying “I’d consider voting for Democrats in 2018, but only if they find common ground with this president!” Seriously, NOT ONE.
And why is he playing into Trump’s narrative that the country isn’t safe? Americans sure don’t believe that (by a 66-23 percent margin).
So yes, we see a tweet like that from Schumer and it’s natural to think, “Just blow the whole party up, because this shit is hopeless!”
But really, it isn’t the whole party that needs to be blown up—just Schumer and those who vote to keep him in charge of the Senate Democratic caucus. Because there are those who are happy to join the resistance against Trump, including Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, whose state filed the lawsuit.
Following Washington State’s legal victory in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals tonight, Washington Governor Jay Inslee responded to President Donald Trump on CNN, stating: “We just saw him in court and he got beat. He got thumped.”
That’s how you respond. Don’t legitimize Trump by offering to work with him. Instead, rub his nose in his own shit. He lost. He’s a loser. He’ll always be a loser. The people think he’s a loser. Every day, the ranks of people who think he’s a loser grow.
So stop with the lifelines. And start throwing anvils.
