Cool story, as always, thanks. But.....the improper use of the noun "Democrat" in place of the adjective "Democratic" is a linguistic ploy used by Republicans, and especially by their illiterate leader, that squawking orange turdblossom, in order to demonize Democrats and the Democratic Party. I cringed while reading this usage repeated 6 times in six paragraphs. I'm pretty sure you don't want to perpetuate the deliberate language mangling of today's version of the Republican Party, do you? Here's a brief article that gives the context. https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/02/07/why-republicans-say-democrat-party

Thank you for bringing this up! Whenever I see it, I want to smack the person who said/wrote it. Except for James, of course, because he didn't know.
