    Are you asking me to respect Republicans for voting for a treasonous, backstabbing criminal that tried to usurp the 2020 election by inciting a insurrection?

    Wow, we’re off on a tangent, aren’t we?

    When I wrote establishment Dems, I was mostly referring to the corporate wing of the party who punch down at the left – i.e., people who probably wouldn’t vote for Trump no matter what, and who sit out the election when the party f**ks their preferred candidate over for two presidential election cycles in a row.

    And then you have statements like this, which reek of elitism and only help solidify support for fake populists like Trump.
