I don't abandoned my home of 20 years just because the yard is covered in fire ants.
I call in the exterminators and take the damn thing back.
I paid for it, it is mine.
Same with the GOP. I refuse to let the bastards win by running me off.
The problem with many in the GOP is they are more akin to termites than fireants. You can clear out the fireants then safely inhabit the structure.
When termites take hold the damage they've done must be repaired or the structure razed. I think that is the point some on this thread are advancing.
I am no fan of letting bastards run me off.
It's what they want.
I remember a time where surrender was just a vocabulary word in the USA...
