We&#8217;re already in the middle of the first workweek after Thanksgiving, and November is almost over. Here is a sample of what some on the left are thinking: <\/p>\n<p>Go ahead and say it, Nancy Pelosi is the &#8220;best thing&#8221; since sliced bread:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/100211453397\">Bucky<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just appalled that over a dozen members of the House are vowing not to support Nancy Pelosi for speaker this January. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>She&#8217;s had a number of against the odds legislative successes as opposition leader, and when she was speaker before she ran a fair House. <\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>President Trump&#8217;s goose is cooked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/100211453384\">allgood33<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is why Trump is looking like a sick puppy these days. He will not always be President and <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>jail time is looking more and more possible for him and his corrupt family<\/b><\/span> or at least they will go bankrupt in defending themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim Crow is still kicking, President Trump is &#8220;proof&#8221;. Oh yeah, the Republican Party &#8220;rigged&#8221; the election and &#8220;stole&#8221; a bunch of votes this year. We simply &#8220;don&#8217;t get it&#8221;. No mention of how Democrats enabled Jim Crow laws and kept them kicking&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/100211451982\">Cyrano<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know what Jim Crow is, Google it. Learn about your country.<\/p>\n<p>I wish everyone understood how we got here and <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>why an ignorant, mentally deficient bigot\/buffoon is occupying the White House. But too many people don&#8217;t\/won&#8217;t &#8220;get it.&#8221; Or don&#8217;t want to. Or never will. <\/b><\/span> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sigh, we never learn. The steamrolling of election 2018 should have forced us to realize that people want change:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/100211451902\">leftyladyfrommo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They just got steamrolled in the election. It is painfully obvious that most Americans hate what is going on and are demanding changes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>But the Repubs just keep on with the same old schtick. They haven&#8217;t changed at all. And Trump just keeps making the same mistakes over and over and over.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I would think they would have gotten the big picture after such a bruising. Guess not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In response to that, someone posted as if they read the pages of the Liberal Zombie Manifesto:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>originally posted by <b>RKP5637:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>IMO they are basically ignorant, bullies and love hatred.<\/b><\/span> The GOP is a disgusting lot. I really can&#8217;t imagine people wanting to be part of the GOP <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>unless they are ignorant, racists and hateful people and\/or religious wackos. <\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Hump Day TAH!
