An analogy I've been using - Dems are like the good guy that a girl likes to keep as her "friend", while she continuously dates the bad boy that lies, cheats, and treats her like shit. Then she runs to the good guy friend to soothe her after they break up. Then as soon as the bad boy comes back promising the moon and stars, there she goes again.

Yes we will all suffer through this, but perhaps Dems should not be so quick to try to save everyone from the pain this administration is about to unleash. Let them see what they voted for.
