Hats off to the Democrats who, despite being in total disarray and lacking any real leadership, still managed to pull off their ant colony routine because everyone instinctively knew what to do.
They shut the country down, counted on the media to blame Republicans (which they did), knew everyone outside X would believe the lie, won three big elections, and have now row back just in time to stop things from getting so bad that the filibuster would be scrapped, which would’ve finally let Republicans enact the Trump agenda.
