I never made a false equivalency. “Republicans and Democrats are both mammals” does not mean “Republicans and Democrats are equivalent.”. The fact that your tribalistic thinking can’t tell the difference just reenforces my point.

Were I a Republican strategist I would have people doing exactly what you are. You aren’t bringing potential Democratic voters back into the fold, you are telling them that they get to have no influence over the Democratic party or their government - no matter who is in charge. They are going to check out completely. When the Republicans win, it’s people like you that are usually responsible.

This is precisely what was wrong with Hillary’s “deplorables” comment. It hit hard because it reflected exactly what was painfully obvious about her elitist views.
