146. I've got good news and bad news for you
The bad news: One-percenters want * to win in order to send their country further down the road to hell for the next 4 years. Then, they hope, we will all suddenly agree with them that their authoritarian, fortune-500 nationalizing agenda is actually a good idea. You see, they cand convince sensible people that they're right, so they hope for a huge knee-jerk backlash toward their positions.

A shamelessly horrifying attempt to bring about change? Sure. But hey, authoritarians have vays of makink you see the light.

But here's the good news: 99 percent of their fellow americans find this approach as abhorrent as you and I. When we liberal Democrats win without them--all indications point towards victory--they will have absolutely no juice within the party. While we'll still have to listen to them whine and complain around here, we won't have to even pay lip service to their shakedown, and can go about the business cleaning up Chimpy's mess.
