(9,167 posts)OK, nice, but how about "Democrats", without whom we'd all be halfway to living under a dictator-for-life by now?
The Lincolnites are not our friends.
It's time to shake hands with these people and go to our respective corners, because they are about to go back to opposing every progressive piece of legislation that we come up with.

I am not ready to turn them away.

(9,167 posts)We agree on stamping out the last vestiges of Trumpism, but there's not much common ground on what should replace it.
Most of them still want "small government" and "entitlement reforms" (i.e. eliminating a safety net for the most economically vulnerable and cutting Social Security).

(558 posts)There was a Marvel / DC cross-over in the comics that had the Joker team up with the Red Skull. This image is from when the Joker learned that the Skull's Nazism wasn't just a schtick. So what's going on here is they are both villains, but fundamentally disagree as to their politics.
I'm suggesting that here that 'villains' is Republicans, and while the Skull represents the Trumpist side, the Joker stands in for the Never Trumpers. You still wouldn't trust Joker (Lincoln Project, etc), not as long as they identify as Republican, but you can still admire the way they turn on the greater evils.
