They want everyone they disagree with shut completely down, but when one of their own blatantly breaks the rules by impersonating someone else - the freaking owner of the company, no less - and gets banned, they cry like little bitches.
I can't find the quote but I saw a video claiming something like 80 million voters are stupid. I think he was being asked what the odds were for Dems, and he tried to parse out the numbers. While you and I believe there are certainly a lot of stupid voters - his implication is that all of them vote Republican.
And this is what motivates them. You may have noticed in the media how nearly ALL Republicans are being called "extreme". You and I think they have ideas that don't work, no matter how well intentioned their motives might be. My observation is that Republicans go with what works and what doesn't work. Dems go with their beliefs and ideology and if it doesn't work, they find a scapegoat.
The Dems - it's all about them being right and everyone else as wrong. Like a cult, like a religion. Everything else is false, everything else is heresy, everything else cannot be tolerated or permitted to flourish. Hence, you have "democracy on the table" and a threat to our way of life. You have Hillary claiming the voters just don't know what's at stake.
When politics is your religion and your God is the leadership and beliefs of the party, you're on a holy crusade.
I don't know when this happened. As I pointed out in the 51 thread - they HAVE 51 votes. Heck, they have 100 votes. To pass something, all they need to do is either compromise or persuade. They don't want to do that. They have to have it all. Because they can't persuade and they won't compromise. Because you can't compromise on holy dogma.
