The DNC is the primary reason we live under an authoritarian manbaby, Hogg isn't wrong

    We can't stand up to Trump, but we can stand up to this kid telling us to do our jobs.

    There needs to be an age and income bracket limit for people in government service, these rich geriatric fucks are going to get us all killed.

    Holy shit, yes! I'd take it a step further and say "we can't stand up to Trump, but we can stand up to anyone pushing us to be an actual opposition". Ten democrats joined the republicans in voting to censure Al Green for having the absolute audacity to yell at the guy shredding the constitution instead of sitting quietly until leaving quietly while wearing a #resist shirt.

    Elder liberals telling younger voters/activists to STFU and get in line, then blaming them when turnout sags and conservative democrats lose purple seats, is the tragedy of the modern era.

    Certainly one of the reasons, but I don't think it's the primary one. 'Murica having so many places with a culture that can be summed up as "extremely individualistic and patriotic xenophobes" is what I'd blame first.
