Anyone really, truly surprised? When you have a loser party in charge promising all sorts of bullshit, you will have old allies jumping ship to what they think are better things. Sternly written letters and I’m really upset memes on Facebook won’t do it democrats. I do admire the Texas democrats for actually doing something in their best interest. They walked out and prevented a quorum. I know it won’t last forever, but they did something. Gavin Newsome is looking into redistricting California, fight fire with fire, along with New York…. If we want at least 2 more trump years, then congressional dems, just keep doing what you do… bring a cookie to a gun fight, but where are the town halls from EVERY DEMOCRAT? Do something out of the box. Go on Fox News, newsmax, Bill Maher, and any other right wing media and tell the truth about what the right is in for… they know, but need to hear it. Take a page out of right wing playbook…. Sometimes you have to get in the mud to find a lost gold ring…..
