    “We progressives will hold the free world hostage analogous to a gun unless you give us what we want.” Cool strategy, giving in to terroristic threats is deep in the American ethos and I am sure won’t alienate anyone and quickly bring us to a progressive utopia.

      I didn’t say it was a strategy. I said it was reality, and that you delude yourself at your peril.

      I don’t control how leftists vote. Neither do you. The difference is that I’m willing to accept that truth and you apparently are not.

      You move left, or you finish off democracy and probably eventually die in an ICE camp. I’m not even exaggerating; those are literally your choices.

      Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
