If by "both sides" we're talking about Democrats and #NeverTrump Republicans, you're right.

Some of us are winning. I wrote to President Trump, I didn’t vote for him, but he is doing a good job. We are winning.

Nah..!

Their carrier decks are ablaze, I can see guys floundering in the water.

I hear screaming on the radio.

Blub, blub, blub, down they go..!

Meh, they would have danced a jig, were it me.

They did that FOR DECADES.

Nah, I'll just push their heads under water, help them along a bit.

It isn’t BS. Both sides of the uniparty are losing. It is the American people who are winning.
