No more Romneys

Behind the Black: "Trump has finally taught Republicans how to fight."
One of the biggest complaints conservatives have had about the Republican Party for decades is that its politicians just would not fight. At the slightest hint that a Democrat was offended or disagreed, they’d fold like a house of cards. And their fear of the propaganda press made them so timid that Democrats could literally do anything and get away with it (as we are now finding out in the USAID scandal, which became a money laundering operation funneling taxpayer funds to partisan leftist organizations and media outlets).

Well, no more. Donald Trump got elected the first time and the second time because the one thing that stood out about him was his unwillingness to back down, and to “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
I tend to think that some of this pushback is overreach by the Democrats.  There was immigration, for sure, but in my mind the breaking point for a lot of Americans was biological men competing in women's sports.  This was the point where a lot of people didn't GAF if you called them "racist" or "transphobic" or "fascist."  That wasn't going to land anymore which is why Trump's "she's for they/them, he's for you" campaign ad was so effective.

Americans are laughing and ignoring the unhinged outrage from the Democrats now.  It's glorious.
