You asked me for another question. I gave you one. I’m sorry you didn’t get the analogy, it was not mine, but an analogy for the abolitionists who believed the American constitution was a pact with the Devil because it tolerated slavery, sort of like the 1619 Project proponents. They believed that it was the duty of all Christians to secede from the Union rather than live under that pact with the Devil, earning them the appellation Barn Burners. Frederick Douglas had the foresight to realize their folly, and concluded that in the end the slave states would secede rather than give up, or accept limitations on, slavery.

So the analogy fits with those who want to abandon the GOP because it’s infested with RINOs. The RINOs are mortal, and one day will pass away. The Republican Party will thrive, energized by Trump and the Deplorables he welcomed into the GOP, as the leftards call us racists to an ever-shrinking audience.

Are you trying to make some reference to ‘Barn Burning’ by William Faulkner? Loved that story, but it is far removed from the meandering point you are trying to make.

Unless somebody rubbed their shit encrusted heel on your carpet and then burned down your barn.
