    I’m tired of soft criticism like “out of touch” when lawmakers do something openly hostile to the will and benefit of constituents. They’re not out of touch, they’re self-serving authoritarians.

      It is not a misunderstanding of the intentions so much as they are playing by the old rules where you do not call something for what it is out of polity.

      An old decorum only exercised by the weak Democratic establishment now.

      The Republicans do more than call out for what it is, they lie and accuse you of being the problem for their own perversions. But our Democrats refuse to even truthfully call a problem.
