Barnabas, well put. That’s what I expect they are saying.

I sweated bullets the first few weeks after the election for just those reasons.

Then I decided it might be fun to watch the world burn.

Either way, these could be four decisive years and I’m not sure whether for the better.

Very true but half the story.

Trump happened because when people voted for Republicans they wanted Republicans who actually fought rather than immediately stabbed them in the back and attempted to legalize tens of millions of new Democratic voters. The GOPe figured it could brazen it out if no one deviated from the party line or mentioned it.

People got sick of voting for the Washington Generals.

That’s right, we did all of that and we will continue to do the same. We have the media, the schools and even the support of corporate American and you have one boorish orange billionaire. You should have stuck with the conservative strategy of going along to get along because you are going to pay dearly for trying to fight back. We will silence you. We will drive you out of your jobs and bloody you in the streets and diversify your safe suburbs. You will wish you had never pulled this Trump stunt.

That’s what I imagine they might say.
