For good or bad, that’s the difference between the parties. Archived Message Posted by Desert on June 9, 2022, 8:40:38, in reply to "There’s ways to get his party to follow orders. " Republicans are quick to follow orders from an authoritarian leader. Dissent will not be tolerated. Just do what you’re told and all will be fine. Democrats value independent thinking, intellectual diversity, and challenging authority. You tell a Dem to follow an order, I guarantee that that Dem is, at a minimum, playing Devils Advocate in their mind.
