The dig in the heels purists/"real" Conservatives either do NOT live in reality,or they really,really,REALLY are masochists,who would far rather have Dems run everything,than get anything at all,from the GOP,that they claim to want.But life and politics ARE made up of compromises and only children have trouble understanding that.
Ah, but as Uncle Joe Stalin claimed: "Sure, there are contradictions in the Worker's Paradise oppressing workers. But that oppression is a good thing, for it will enhance and exacerbate the contradictions, and the contradictions will force the wonderful Dialectical-Materialist Leap of the worker's revolution, and we will finally arrive at the glorious stateless society! Freedom is slavery! Oppression is freedom!"
