Spare me the platitudes and your “more gradual progressism” arguments. It’s far better to wait until a far more conservative Congress is elected in 2018 and then try again. Yes, far better than to further entrench socialism.
Are you seeking other people’s money or are you looking for government to take over YOUR personal charitable & family obligations?
And wait, and wait, and wait, and wait... who says that a stepping stone is entrenchment? If we don’t engage with Democrats honoring their posts if not their positions, then once more they will show themselves master of the sudden about face for show, and once more America will swallow it.
So no I won’t spare you or anyone else “platitudes.”
And no, I won’t equate what I am talking about to “more gradual progressivism.” It will be coming back from the brink.
No! We must engage. These Democrats were elected; they hold certain posts; we must respect those posts. Romans 13. Go to God and call HIS advice mere platitudes! You might come away a smoking ruin.
But at the time we must call bullshit on the bullshit. Donald Trump is exceeding good at that.
