Give them enough rope [View all]

Recently I was listening to a discussion on what the Democrats should do with the realization that the Republicans have all the power. One of the members of the panel was a gentleman that I have always liked his thoughts, but I can never remember his name. His response was do nothing. Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves. I agree entirely. Yes, there will be pain but, the people who elected Trump and company, will suffer at least as much, if not more, than the progressives. This is the only way to pound some sense of reality into the conservatives heads. They may not be smart enough to figure out that they are being sold a bill of goods but when they hurt, they will know it is something they do not like. The only ones they can blame is the Republicans. May you all have a Happy New Year.
