The worst part about how the conservative Democrats are behaving here is that it's not their party. They hijacked the party. In the '80s and '90s the "New Democrat" neoliberals took over the Democratic Party. They took over a party that had ushered in the greatest period of prosperity in American history. And they destroyed it. The party of FDR was murdered by these conservative Democrats and their neoliberal policies.
