It's time to get down to their level, and fight as dirty as possible. This isn't an elegant fencing match, this is down and dirty in the mud hand to hand combat.

I have seen us ranting over this more recently...and they are STILL being tone deaf.

How TF do we get them to understand this?

Many dem leaders insist on taking the high road, not realizing or ignoring that the gop is undermining it under our very feet.
It's time to get off the high road, and get down and dirty. If you don't want to fight dirty, get out of the way.

I boxed when I was young. I had 329 fights. I can honestly say that I never purposely fouled my opponents ..... unless they purposely fouled me, and the referee failed to address it. Then I figured "anything goes."

"Oh dear! I landed a low blow that raked you foul cup over your balls?"

"Ooops! Did my elbow land on your brow when I threw that left hook? Looks like some blood trickling..."

"Sorry about my thumb in your eye."

"Gracious! Did that head-butt give you a bloody nose?"

If your opponent fights dirty, without consequence, and you don't, you might as well enter the ring to fight with one arm tied behind your back.
