#1 In many ways its starting to look like the Democrats want to lose.

1. Democrats are in constant civil war. Corrupt wing versus the super-far left that the corrupt know don't appeal to the center of the country.
2. Corrupt democrat wing realizes they are forced to demand increasingly bizarre things as the GOP kept caving.
3. Corrupt Democrat wing knows that the nation is close to an economic death spiral.
4. Yelling Orange-man bad is fun.

So if they let the Marxists go to town they get smashed and GOP gains a spine and helps Trump fix the economy and undo their more recent crazy demands. This allows them to rage against Orange Man for decades as well as re-fight the same battles to put all that stupid crap back into the laws.

It also lets them get there crap together in time for 2024 against Pence and 8 years of Orange man which should be a lot easier. Especially if their own crazies have been humiliated into silence.

Either that or they truly are insane and think the center of America thinks like they do. This is a possibility as well and the results will be the same so it may not matter.

#2 I have thought of that as well. Right now they are losing the fight against the far-left in their party. If they push those ideas and win, then they are good. If they push those ideas and Trump wins in a landslide, they can purge those ideas and people from the demoncrat party.

Right now it is looking like they want a Trump landslide so they can do the second option.

#3 If this plays out, that is going to be a whole bunch of statues of democrats that will be removed.

#4 #1 & #2 I think you're giving them too much credit. IMO, they simply stupid/power hungry enough to delude themselves into the belief that they can ride the tiger.

#5 There will be a tipping point when just plain Joes have had enough and will go hunting.

#6 Remove Pelosi first. She just jealous that she was before those folks with statues, and never got one of herself.
