Senator, where do you find the energy to build so many "no true Scotsman" monuments?
This keys directly into that thing about extremists again, where you became a follower of the SWP, had a scream-worthy meltdown when THEIR extremism didn't pan out, and immediately went to the other extreme on the other side.

I mentioned my oldest brother, remember? Just like you! He was SWP, SDS, all the way. Then he suddenly leapt over the entire spectrum and landed on the extreme Right instead.
And like you, he has spent the last few decades running around repeating that same No True Scotsman homily in an attempt to inoculate himself.
You guys should meet. You're both a matched set.

The thing is, it doesn't wash. We didn't nominate Trump. Trumpers nominated Trump. We didn't vote for him, Trumpers did.
The overwhelming majority of the electorate who put him in the WH were already Right leaners, whether "independent" or Republican.

We did not build this orange menace to the Constitution, so WHO DID?
YOU GUYS did.
Modern GOP conservatism is what built Trump, what led us to Trump.
Modern conservatism is what triggered the entire Lee Atwater-Newt Gingrich-Dennis Hastert-Tea Party-Ted Cruz-Mitch McConnell insurgency.

And when you do that ISIS-like "No True Muslim"/"No True Scotsman" number, all you're doing is narrowing the circle and inventing more and more excuses as to why your ideals and values are unrealistic.

They are unrealistic because by your own hand, fewer and fewer people meet your special criteria for an unrealistic ideology that has crept into pure demagoguery.

Worst of all, none of it has yielded anything constructive.
And you have an excuse for that, too!

"It's all the fault of the godless America hating Marxists!"

Well, guess what? Your side has controlled the entire narrative for well over 40 years, even when Democrats were in the White House.
By the way, that IS partly our fault, without question.
WE LET YOU GUYS GET AWAY WITH IT for forty years.

But those days are over, friend.
