Rather than accept electoral defeat, the mainstream of the Democratic Party now believes in “resisting” -- resisting anything the party in power enacts into law, does, wants to do, or even wants to think. Their new goal is to disrupt, obfuscate, destroy, and neuter their opposition.
They are doing it with revolting politicians who think their job is to say anything incendiary, nasty, boorish, off the wall, and destructive. Ditto with their “journOlists.” And, unfortunately, ditto with far too many of their voters. None have a clue that they are beyond the bounds of what was once called civilized discourse. None appear to have any idea of how destructive they have become. By now, I would have expected some on the left, perhaps the occasional Democrat pol, media figure, or even a random group of their voters to get up and say. “Stop the world, I want to get off!”
But no. Instead, they soldier on, oblivious to who they’ve become.
In the past, most of us have believed our left-leaning compatriots to be simply in error; wrong, foolish, incapable of clear thinking, stupid, moronic. Somewhere in there is the right word. I have used all of those words (plus a few more) during my time of political study. When we consider those words, some think that “wrong” or “foolish” are too complimentary, others that “moron” or “stupid” are too harsh. In the past that has sufficed.
No longer. We are clearly beyond simple error.
Ever since the Civil War, civilized discourse has had rules. Political differences have had rules. Having different views was reality. Unfortunately, the left has decided they no longer need to have rules, they no longer need to be bound by being civilized, and they have set themselves a scorched earth course.

They think they define what is "civilized", so they're not worried.
The democrats think that Mexican immigration guarantees their future takeover of the country. They won’t adapt because they don’t think they need to.
For eight years they labeled the Republicans obstructionist for blocking Obama’s efforts to become the Emperor of the US, but that was then and now it’s ok for them to try to block everything the Trump administration is doing to help America.
They need the whiff of the grapeshot.

Yes, they do. And they detest and reject those principles.
I might respectfully suggest that you and many others do not understand the basic principle on which the Democrat Party and the entire political Left is founded.
I would suggest that you review Alinsky's Rules and the Goals of the Communist Party that were read into the Congressional Record a few decades ago. That should give you a good start on understanding their goals for America.
I’m well aware of Rules for Radicals and the Communist Manifesto and what the left wants for this country and the rest of the world and all that stuff - intellectually they understand the principles on which this country was founded, but emotionally, spiritually, motivationally, and philosophically they haven’t a clue - those principles are not consonant with their lust for power and their grandiose belief that they have all the answers and must be obeyed, and beyond their ability to comprehend and appreciate in any personal sense - that’s why they should never be allowed near any political office in this or any other “democratic” power.....
