Reply #36: Valid point BB. If they have taken over school boards and everything

else from a state to a Federal level, why not infiltrate and deconstruct from the inside out, so as to quietly insure the ineffectiveness and diminishing power of our party as well, and engage in such behavior in every level they can, certainly monopolizing on the local levels?

They've done it before (and if it aint broke, why fix it)?

The extremist Republicans (versus those not as exreme*) are obsessed with control and domination to such a level that they hate the idea of any opposition and resent the idea of anyone telling them no. Part of that is our weaker leaders fault (and our responsibility as well) for allowing the extremists to get away with harmful destructive policies by allowing them to pass.

Like most bullies, and/or individuals driven by greed, they want it all, and until they are taught the word "no" and/or respectful boundaries, they'll keep wreaking havoc on our Democratic system and everything and everyone else that they believe stands in their way. Democrats would be best served to file that in our cerebrums*

The best way to take over a weakened faction is to further weaken and divide it in as many places as possible, primarily by passive aggressive, non-conclusive means so as to create doubt and/or frustration and to slow or halt any progress being made.

This is why its important for Dems/progressives,and overall good decent Americans at large*, to develop trust and solid relationships with other reliable good, decent individuals whom, we may not agree on every level, but are certainly aligned in principle and basic right and wrong.
