Things ot keep in mind as Democrats.

My interest in politics is centered on the idea that we need to make our country and the world a better society where everyone is treated with respect, and dignity and has some quality of life. If you go to social political sites where the base Republicans post, they control both houses of congress and the presidency, but they don't post about policies or ideas that will help people. What they post about is fantasies concerning people who are no longer in office and never going to be in office again going to jail,(Clintons or Obama), or the other people that are different from them that they don't like. The Trump Republican party has become a cesspool of xenophobia. Let us not get so wrapped up in hating Trump and conservatives, that we forget the end game which is a better society.
