These same Commanders — the ones who went 4-13 last year, who had two playoff wins in the Dan Snyder era — are one win away from the Super Bowl.

Gotta say it’s wild that every time Democrats win an election Republicans form an unbreakable bloc on every issue they prioritize but when Republicans win, Democrats go “oh yeah, mass deport, f the queers, defense of democracy what?”

It’s a frustrating feature of American politics.
