i mean...

we forget things easily, don't we?

we seem to think everybody was trying to stop trump in 2016.

in fact, the data suggests that people got stuck with trump because he was less extreme than the other options: cruz, rubio and kasich. trump, comparably speaking, was the moderate on the ballot.

we weren't even sure that trump was going to oppose abortion rights, at all. and, there's still little data suggesting that he really cares, much.

so, now it's 2020, and the democrats want to bring the right-wing extremists that republicans felt were too conservative, to the point that they settled for fucking trump instead, into their party?

it's remarkably tone-deaf.
