People also remember how, when the Democrats were the majority party, the Republican minority could somehow obstruct, delay and water down anything they proposed that even approached being progressive policy that would help large numbers of working class people, yet the Dems have somehow forgotten all those tactics that were used against them to great success now that they find themselves the minority party.

While simple, it can honestly be kind of fun to just go in and let them know. When I was recently laid off, it went something like this.

HR: “I know this might be a shock–”

Me: “Yeah, you’re letting me go, I know. Here’s my work laptop and badge, I’ve got all my stuff in a box outside, what do I sign? Trying to catch the next train home, so I have like 20 minutes.”

It totally threw off my boss and the HR lady trying to do their sombre, dignified thing, and was pretty funny to watch.
