Relax - it is the feckless crowd, flexing muscles it doesn't have. You are in the crowd least likely to be purged, because there is a day of reckoning coming from that group of social conservatives that is not electorally significant, yet hysterically wails that the party needs to comfort and soothe their feelings on a near constant basis.
