The "conservatives" want to save America from The Libruls. The rubes wanna save the GOP from The Establishment, and The GOP Establishment wants to save itself from the Trumpkinite Rubes.
Guys, I don't think it's unreasonable for us to ask you to let go of all the stoopid adolescent rescue fantasies (not to mention the boarding school bullshit game of My-Dick's-Bigger'n-Your-Dick) and get to work on the fucking problems. Could we try that for a while?
Every GOP policy in the last 30 years has been pointed at stripping down the Federal Gov't, delivering all that political power to the coin-operated part-timers in State Houses, and liquidating everything at rummage sale prices for the benefit of an increasingly venal Executive Management Class. This is Oligarchy at its very worst, and they've gotten this place in a tangled mess, all of which is shielded from our doing anything about it by a military and a police force totally dependent on the largesse of a wholly-owned subsidiary formerly know as The United States Congress.
Wanna know why Trump makes such bold assertions about dealing with guys like Putin and Xi Jinping and Assad and whoever's runnin' the joint for ISIS? Kindred spirits. He knows what makes 'em all tick because he is them.
So this is where we are now. Go with the GOP and we're being led to the future by way of an 18th century-style birthright-entitlement aristocracy. And try to remember that it was such a good deal back then, that about a million people who had everything to lose put their lives on hold for 8 years, and their asses on the line so they didn't have to get on their knees before a guy who coulda been named Drumpf and beg for the privilege of breathing one more day.
Fuck these guys. And I'm constantly amazed and sometimes a little disheartened that I end up thinking I have to state the obvious, but it's always right there in front of me:

The only way forward from here
is to go forward from here.
PS - recalling the lede) "The Libruls" want to preserve democracy and bolster our little experiment in self government by pushing that government to live up to the promises made to "ourselves and our posterity" - and that's what the "conservatives" want to save America from.
Do ya really need any time at all to let that one sink it?
