Why does the Democrat party attract drama queens? They can't all have Histrionic (attention-loving, excessively dramatic) Personality Disorder. I think it might have to do with Democrats, identity politics and the Internet as the tool that helps them get attention.

In the "old days" they would just make sure you knew that they recycled, composted, were vegetarians, drove hybrids, were feminists, etc., by putting it on their bumpers, tee shirts, green bags, etc., in order to get that atta boy they craved from their peers. But now with the Internet, they can expand that attention they need because more people see them/read them/hear them and give them that thumbs up/like/rep.

In the past I've heard doctors say, "If your kid throws a tantrum and holds his breath, just ignore them and let them pass out and they'll start breathing again." (Uh, I'm assuming you still have to break their fall so they don't crack their head open.) Maybe that's what we should do with these "progressives." Just ignore them and let them pass out.

LOL. Psst. Hey new guy. Try doing a search and you'll find a bunch of threads stating just that.

Hil spent 1.2 billion to lose. Should have distributed it amongst the commoners. Maybe next time. It would be a better investment.

Any decent Republican had a good chance to win this election against Hillary. Third terms are rare. Too bad the GOP is so disorganized they ran a man who everyone has been making fun of for being so unprofound for a least 20 years, and who personally represents everything they claim not to be.

My goodness. Some people are so short-sighted. Have you not learned anything from the last 10 years alone? Both Republicans and Democrats have talked about a permanent majority, only to have it evaporate within a couple of years.

Political situations are always fluid. They are always evolving.

The myth of the permanent majority

I never claimed anything about a permanent majority. I just speculated that the democratic party could die off. Any other of the independents could easily replace it.
