Wise Up!

 Somewhere around the end of the Soviet Union's rusty reign of error, the GOP decided it needed a new enemy. The party had relied on a fear strategy for over 40 years scaring the bejesus out of Americans with tall tales of Soviet world dominance when in reality they knew the Soviets were a collapsing bucket of corroded bolts. 

Then came Bill Clinton. The GOP needed a new enemy to maintain the fear they relied on to win elections. No more godless commies. So turn on your own. Other Americans.

They've been doing it for 40 years. Demonizing fellow Americans. Appealing to the same assholes who saw a commie under every bed and feared the sudden surge for equal rights. Hey man, it works. 

The GOP has degenerated from a party of Lincoln and Roosevelt and Ike into a group of cynical exploiters reliant on white America's fear of equality.   

Meanwhile Democrats continue to prefer being the smartest guy in the room to actually winning elections. Their constant need to explain why somebody else is wrong by quoting policy and other wonky shit to people who hate them because of that need has to stop. You may be smarter than most people, you are definitely more well read, but to ignore peoples emotions and ignorance is a sure loser strategy. Yep, thats why they hate you.

Condescension is a losing strategy. Just fucking stop it. It may make you feel like you won but what actually happened is the exact opposite. You lost.

I am what they call a progressive, we used to be called liberals or commies, but what I realize is I will take what I can get. If I am offered two pieces of pizza while I'm looking at 8 pieces and I'm hungry and its apparent I aint getting the whole thing and probably not even 3 pieces I will take the two. I cant stress that enough. Take what you can get. Dont whine and scream and follow people into bathrooms and block people from leaving garages because you are arming the other side with your belligerence. The other side lies, and they twist things to fit the lies. And it works.  You armed them.

I dont want to spend my remaining years in some fascist shithole led by mean nasty assholes like Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz. Or Donald Trump.

But thats what coming. If this same loser strategy is continued. Wise up and stop trying to Rise Up 24/7! You're trying way too hard to to lose. Try winning for a change. THEN do what you want.
