Remember that bill that would strip non-profit status from any group, based on the whim of the president? With no hope of appeal? That was very popular with Democrats, until Trump won.
Even if you assholes don’t abuse something like that, you know that you aren’t going to be in office forever? There’s an election every 4 years, remember?
Don’t go conflating Democrats with the left, though. There’s some overlap, but they aren’t the same.
There’s a big difference between defending your country within your borders and crossing a border to fight in another country.
