Sorry about the feel the buzzkill posters. They seem to be showing up in hordes, two or three in succession (subtle move!) trying to convince voting Democrats that the third party/no show bitter knitters didn't actually help to elect Trump, and even if they did, they didn't really mean to, so it doesn't really count, and let's rebuild the party that we don't belong to, and then when we're done...

"Hey kids! Let's put on a show in the barn!"

They seemed to be stunned by the the contempt of the 65,000,000. Just wait until historians start examining their motives.
