So being here on the Bulwark has been a huge learning experience, informationally and ideologically, and I am discovering so much more in common with former Republicans than I thought possible, as they discover ever less in common with their former party-mates. What I have true indigestion over, in small, new quarters here, and more broadly in the so-called "conservative" Trump-disdainful most of the time but for the right kind of attention will play both sides types, is the superiority complex about Democrats. Yes, we have problems (Clearly!!!) but the Republican and Republican-ish types who project and generalize in ways that ignore reality really bug me. I am not sure who S.E. is (the person you mention), but I would say in general that it is more difficult to make categorical and accurate statements about "Democrats" now, or historically, than it is to make about Republicans today -- there is more homogeneity and go-along-for-whatever ride in the GOP than in the Democratic party. In the current flavor of Democrat-bashing, particularly in the recent time frame of finding out Joe Biden is cognitively impaired, there's some weird talk about what "Democrats" do that seems genuinely illogical and counter-factual (the bad kind). Sorry for the rant. What was the question?
Oh yes, anyone who will vote against Trump is my friend if they will have me.
