The democrats are having a "Dr. Frankenstein" moment...
They've created a monster and don't know how to control it...
Thank you for giving me a reason to dust this off:
One of my favorite stories of all time is Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus'. There are so many layers to that story, so many lessons about knowing one's limits, morality, triumph and tragedy, horror... Mrs Shelley was an absolute genius! I also love the film adaptations of her book. Not the hokey series BS, the actual story from her book. My favorite scene, though, is when Victor Frankenstein recoils in horror at what he has created, followed shortly thereafter of his realization that the blasphemy he brought into the world (by trying to play God) has grown into a malignancy he can neither control nor kill. It's a brilliant metaphor about narcissistic arrogance and its inevitable outcome.

You vermin have cultivated this class of savages for many years for nothing more than having a self replicating voting bloc to give you more power. You have used them as a force multiplier to spread fear and sow discontent among your fellow citizens in your quest to suppress those who don't "think" like you.
.....
So, I'll leave you for now with... the words of W. B. Yeats:
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."
C.S. Lewis
A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
