How many elections will the Democrats need to lose before they realize that “I’m not the other guy” isn’t some kind of rallying cry that will galvanize the voter base.
This is the thing the Beltway Dems and elderly politicians disconnected from reality seem to not realize. They think they’ll be fine no matter what happens - that this is all part of the normal game of politics and nothing has changed and so nothing ever will… that Trump is just the ruder version of the neo-cons like Bush, Romney, Dole, Gingrich and the rest that they have always dealt with.
I would have thought that Jan 6th would have collectively woken them up… but it seems Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of these multi-millionaire McKinsey lobbying insider-trading ghouls holding all the levers of power for the only side that can ostensibly stop Trump… will each be standing while tied in front of bloody wooden poles asking those pointing rifles at them “do you know who I am?!” before there’s even a chance of them realizing what is happening.
It’s as the saying goes :
Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it… and those who do know… are forced to watch it happen again - knowing there’s really not much they alone can do to stop it from echoing over and over again.

If someone like FDR gets elected again, moderates might lose control of the Dem.party for ever.
If Republicans win, that just means they take a break before moderate Dems get to take their turn again
There’s a reason the DNC fight progressives but boosted trump in the 2016 primary.
They’ll always pick a temp loss of power over a permanent one.
Another round of Trump is likely to be a permanent problem. They’re done with democracy, and their base is fine with that.

…Anyway, I think that’s how it goes. :\
