Here's a post that was submitted at Democratic Underground that might be appreciated by conservative readers. But first, to provide context, I must copy and paste the OP:

I find this editorial cartoon to be hilarious -- not because I think bullying (a detestable character trait) is funny, but because the cartoon is an excellent expression of satire.
Here is the post I've referenced above that was submitted in reply to the OP:

I don't see us being able to recover from Trump and the GOP. They control pretty much all 3 branches of the government, don't give a damn about the voters, are working as hard as they know how to rape and pillage the wealth of the country, they have actually established a 'commission' to suppress Democratic voters, they are running ads encouraging violence and terrorist attacks against liberals, and completely ignoring the Constitution.
I don't see the USA that we grew up in surviving this all-out assault. The best we can hope for is to split into two countries, but even then, who gets the military and the nukes? It is one thing to try and fight a civil war with muzzle loaders, it is another thing entirely when you are fighting against the most powerful army on earth. And don't think that the majority of the army will desert and fight on the side of the liberals, since the military has always been on the Conservative side.
Stick a fork in us folks, we're done. We can stave it off for a little while with our protests and our sit-ins and our letters and our Town Halls, but once the GOP gets control of who gets to vote we will have no place left. And the so-called free press will be FOX News and the National Enquirer.
I believe this will, in fact, happen. I don't believe the Democratic Party has a chance. Some (if not many) of their wounds have been self-inflicted. Besides, since the Democrats aren't the party of the rich, they're bound to run out of money eventually; and as every schoolchild knows, in politics (and just about everything else), money talks. So, I have no doubt that decades from now, the U.S. will be a one-party oligarchy with authoritarian tendencies. The only development that could possibly save the Democrats from this dismal future would be the advent of a second Great Depression. But I have some doubt that that would be the outcome. We'd probably end up with an American Hitler.
Incidentally, since I'm much too independent to be categorized ideologically, I won't be able to have much of an identification with any of the major players in this drama. If I'm still around to see all of this unfold in all its gory glory, I'll just shrug my shoulders and shake my fists in helpless and hopeless frustration. But at least the masses (on both sides) will be provided with many days -- nay, decades -- of countless entertaining posts to be read on the Internet. As Dr. Erhardt would say on MST3K, enjoy!
