re: Roll this up and smoke it. If you are a democrat, please explain this to me

As a recovering liberal, maybe I can speak to this somewhat. We all got played. We were the kind that rooted for the underdog, and we accepted their framework that it was traditionally oppressed, marginalized minorities against the white patriarchy. We thought we were doing the right thing. Of course it turns out the real bad guys were pulling our strings the whole time and that we unconsciously helped bring the US to the verge of annihilation and some limp-dicked New World Order that will fail. Forgive us. We knew not what we did. Now if only the rest of us could wake up, maybe there's still time.
