One couldn't ask for a more perfect demonstration of contempt for the peasants (and not even on just any subject but specifically about their having the gall to not pay lip service to their masters). That's right up there in "let them eat cake" and "let them die and decrease the surplus population" territory.
And the fact that that's what passes for a defense of the Democrats is exactly how they've been handing over the country to the Republicans. I used to not understand how it was supposed to be possible for an oppressive dictatorship to get voted into power in what was a democracy/republic up until they do that. The idea of "grabbing power" simply made no sense when I read about it in school because first you would need to already have the power to grab the power before you could grab the power (because you can't grab what you don't have the power to grab), and then you wouldn't be grabbing it because you'd already have it, which you couldn't if you hadn't already somehow gotten it. Watching the Democrats lately has educated me in how something like 1930s Germany can happen. I was right that having a party of evil isn't enough. But what it also requires is something that my child self couldn't imagine actually possibly happening: that enough of the other party(s), which could stop the party of evil if they chose, either roll over & play dead for them or even partially join them. And here we are, watching the so-called "opposition" to the party of evil spew utterly vile poison like the above quotes, pushing as many potential voters as possible as far away as possible, doing the party of evil's work for them. The only good part is the fact the modern Hitler they're helping this time is so old & unhealthy he'll be gone soon after his re-election & re-inauguration, maybe even before.
