(25,294 posts)this is what would happen again if we let them win. We didn't run our campaign against the Repugs - we ran it against Trump the personality and let the Repugs in general off the hook. As such - we got what we deserved and are now stuck with at least 4 years of the Repugs upending any progress we made under Obama. Unless we - over the next 4 years - point out in detail how the Repugs are destroying America and begin to campaign against them from the start of this administration - they will get away with the same crap in 2018 & 2020.
We need to keep telling the 'deplorables' how they keep shooting themselves in the feet by supporting the lies and deceptions of the Repugs.
