BQ (before Q) my understanding of what was going on with Dem leadership was limited to thinking they were jsut stupid and arrogant, locked into their halcyon delusional ideology of how to make the world a better place by creating bridges and expanding connections to our one time foreign adversaries, including allowing them to buy up our real estate. Hey, free market and all that. I also saw that as an excuse to cover for their failing domestic policies, and the desperate need for money, no matter it's source.
It would have been hard to convince me there was a deliberate plan to destroy the US. I believed we were headed that way because of stupidity, not design. Now that it is looking as though it was in fact deliberate, well, that adds a whole different level of focus and determination to identify, isolate, expose and eradicate them from our lives.
