Old re-run: "How Badly Will This Hurt the Democrats?"

[Sparkly]

Once AGAIN, Republicans created a mess of chaos, fear, and anger, and since those things help them, it's a question of how badly the Democrats will do in response!?

9/11 Terrorist Attacks and every reminder ever since ("Chatter!" "Heightened Alerts!" "Orange to Red!" ) "How Badly Will This Hurt the Democrats?"

Economy TANKING in 2008-9 as W left office! Everything Democrats had been saying was right, but "Don't Bash Bush!" was the rule of the day, and still Republicans didn't like regulation or oversight, so... "How Badly Will This Hurt the Democrats?"

COVID-19... The chaos in the ways George Floyd's murder and BLM was mishandled... Insurrection, Russians in the White House, two well-deserved impeachments, the President convicted on 34 FELONY counts, for God's sake -- "How Badly Will This Hurt the Democrats?"

And now this. The New York Times warns us again that "Democrats Enter Risky Political Terrain as Protests Grip California." "Scenes of unrest in Southern California, stoked by President Trump as he tries to deport more immigrants, have left Democratic leaders worried the confrontation elevates a losing issue for the party."

What's left, then? Relinquish civil rights or the entire Constitution because that's what keeps rightwing idiots happy?

1. Oh Cmon NYT

Soon you’ll be reporting on the deaths of people due to trumps freakin ego. Put those stories on the front page, tell the truth, with pictures and invite Dems AND Pubs to respond. “Risky Political Terrain?” Stupid people won’t vote for Dems regardless of the death toll. Just do your job.

2. Currently people are largely rejecting Trump's invasion of CA

Will things stay that way? Time will tell. In the meantime, the New York Crimes needs to get off their collective lazy asses and do some real journalism.

3. It is risky, very risky. But with Newsome's speech tonight, Mayor Bass' actions, relatively peaceful protests, etc.,

believe things are headed in the right direction, at least for time being.

4. They are missing that Trump's actions are uniting the Dem coalition

Which was fractured or asleep last year.
