I deal with people whom even understand that the US needs revolutionary change, NOT getting it that Trump and GOP congress are much worse than the normal capitalist politics. It's this, "I'm smarter than you and I have it figured out mentality", similar to what conservatives have only it's coming from a progressive. Of course a lot of Dems are Repub-lite but dammit there is a difference between getting hit with a quarter and getting hit with a sledgehammer. If these people would only look at the damn bills that these GOP congresses push and the judges they appoint. But nooooo, it's I'm so smart and I know they're all the same. Facepalm. repeat.
