    I said months ago that we were going to “single issue” our way to Trump 2.0, and I’ve never ever wanted to be wrong more than when I said that.

      nearly all the single-issue voters on the right vote in lock-step unison, and have for decades.

      democrats and progressives seem to just toss in the towel if they aren’t getting everything they want, right now.

      it takes time to build something great, it takes but a moment to destroy it all. welcome to total destruction.

        I could say something witty or sarcastic, but you’ve probably already thought something along the same lines. I’ll just leave a facepalm emoji instead.
