Nine years ago, I wrote: "It is a misnomer to call the GOP the conservative party; they are the revanchist proto-fascist party. The Democratic Party is the de facto conservative party according to the dictionary meaning of conservative. The Democrats have been inching to the right for decades; to the right of most Americans on most issues. The Democratic Party holds the people to the left of it in electoral bondage. A captive constituency. Do you want to be in bondage to a conservative party...

when the rough beasts of the right slouch to Trump-mayhem to be born?"

I was talking to myself, but I didn't listen.

I think it's time to dust off an old epithet for the Democratic and legacy media elites: Vichy. #vichydemocrats Has a ring to it, no? Also, quisling: #quislingmedia. As I type, I see the hashtags are already out there.
#legacydemocrats and #legacymedia are praising #Trump and #MAGA with faint damns. That is working for Trump, and he's not even paying them. Their bosses are paying him.
