Since then, I've kinda lost my sense of humor.
You make some valid points, but, IMHO, your post smacks of false equivalency.
It wasn't Dems who bankrolled billions of dollars into over 2,000 radio stations from Washington to Florida and Maine to California, that have done nothing but dehumanize Dems, liberals and progressives for close to 30 years now.
It wasn't Dems who built a fucking cottage industry of racist birtherism against the first black President.
I served this country for 30 years and put my life on the line, and I couldn't even get a God damned traffic and weather report without first having to listen to some right wing ass-pickle claim that I was a "terrorist loving anti American French surrender monkey"
You want to know why people don't laugh off the little shit anymore??!!
It's because it's NOT little shit anymore.
A conferderate Nazi as AG is NOT little.
A coal belching prick as head of the EPA is NOT little.
A stolen supreme Court Justice is NOT little.
A racist clown as president is NOT little.
My friends and family, who are at risk to being deported to a country they've never known... possibly to face death...is NOT little.
Excuse me if I'm tired of singing Kum Baya to the fucking pricks.
It's funny how all this Kum Baya shit always comes from the right AFTER they are in power.
It's like they're working to completely fuck you over, steal your pension, destroy your safety net, describe your friends and family as "animals"...and when they've been given unchecked power to do so, they complain and ask; "can't we all get along".
Sorry, but this man ain't buying it.
