But not anti Democrats.
Republicans have been treating whatever their issues of the day have been the exact same way down the line.
Like a five alarm fire.
They know they may only have 16 months to get their agenda passed, judges confirmed, etc...
They know this is a five alarm fire because they know by 2026, it might be electoral blood bath time.
Democrats have always acted like we have plenty of time for....
Not one iota of urgency, no five alarms, no fox news to incite our base.
We have norms, Mouse tv, (as in spouting the party line, but nothing else) our own versions of concerned, deeply concerned, worried, pick your metaphor that keep us up with the Collinses and Murkowskies, think Klobuchar, Schumer and Gillibrand.
I think I speak for many of us in just wishing that we were dictating the agenda and conversation for the first time in 40 years.
We need to wake up and start no holds barred combat yesterday. If we start today, we'll still be years and years behind, but at least we'd be in the same stadium playing the same game for once.
Please
