   Pasteurized Lefty Tears.
   I like my lefty tears raw, however, these days and considering the sources, one has to be careful not to catch something, permanent like. That said, we'll even put these in the SodaStream for the refreshing goodness of carbonated, pasteurized, lefty tears. Drink them moderately and responsibly folks. Enjoy.

     @Marshall Sutherland (Posting with Hubzilla) I like how your mind works. That is a very accurate description of who republican voters are these days and it started way before 2024. I may have begun in 2006, culminated in 2016 and now is fermenting to perfection. If I may speak for one republican voter,  we see the GOP, as the fake, virtue signalling, controlled opposition that even when voted into office, it's still the democrats that are in power. We despise them. However, rather than start our own party, which in today's political climate, is a fool's errand, we thanks to Trump, have taken hold of theirs. Trump has always been a third party candidate, who ran as a republican. I'm not sure that this realization, has dawned on the new political landscape as of yet.

     part of an analysis I saw this morning:
     The thing liberals don’t understand about the average Republican voter in 2024 is that they hate the Republican Party. The average liberal feels well-represented by the Democratic Party because the Democrats’ base, like the party leadership, are college-educated elites. They share the same list of priorities. But the average Republican voter is working class and truly loathes the Bush-era version of the Republican Party, which meant tax cuts for the rich, failed wars, and an economic agenda that outsourced jobs to China.
     
     Whether they realize it or not, this is why Democrats truly hate Trump. Without him, the left would soon have had a pretty permanent monopoly on power.
