I find it funny (as in LOL funny) that a guy is talking about someone else ‘learning lessons’ when he stubbornly defends the same failed process that resulted in our current problem.
FWIW, you might want to ponder that a bit. Because until you understand that doing the same thing and expecting a different result is pretty stupid, you are the poster child for our current dilemma. Have you considered calling a battered spouse hotline? Because you are displaying the very symptoms of people in that situation.
The GOP being the abusive spouse. You making excuses why you/we should keep empowering their abuse.
You don’t give a shit what I say if it involves salvaging the Republican party.
You’re pissed, and your current focus on the subject of abuse is unwarranted. Let’s drop it.
