The reality is that they are going to kill us all if they can.

He meant on us. Democrats, libs, minorities, anyone they disagree with. I'm sure I have family members who feel the same way.

Cory Booker gave that incredible hours long speech & then voted for Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner's dad & convicted felon, for ambassador to France. WTF? What part of you never work with fascists don't they understand?

What ‘message’ is that; what constitutes ‘nice.’

If ‘nice’ means following the rule of law, defending democracy, respecting the decisions of the courts, and protecting the rights of gay and transgender Americans, women, Americans of color, and immigrants – then Democrats should continue to ‘play nice.’

What isn’t acceptable is that Democrats should lower themselves into the sewer with Republicans, become hateful racists and bigots like Republicans, engage in lies and demagoguery like Republicans, and resort to political violence like Republicans.

and the Weather Underground on the other.

Gandhi and MLK were assassinated and the Weather Underground were killed or imprisoned.

How shall we be asked to sacrifice ourselves to pay the price of our commitment?
