So the instinctive behavior of elephants reacting to potential danger is a powerful metaphor. Ok, let me take a wild stab at this. You lost an election. The political landscape is shifting and you feel threatened. So you huddle together instead of scattering like frightened donkeys. You circle the wagons, protecting your own interests instead of understanding why you lost. Good, keep it up.
Odd that she uses a video of the GOP mascot to show protective behaviour. For the most part the dims only protect criminals.
More like democrats circling the wagons to keep their fatted calves safe. To mix metaphors a la Harris.
