I like that this guy calls it the "Republican Medicaid Cuts". Put the blame square on Congressional Rs. 

I think this points up a problem we have as a nation and that is that a lot of MAGAts don't identify as Republicans or Trump as a Republican.  They view both Rs and Ds as part of the establishment that has fucked them over.

They view Trump as outside the establishment.

And until and unless Ds come up with some kind of antidisestablishmentarian candidate, they'll never get MAGAt votes.  Then again, the R candidate that follows Trump probably won't get their votes, either.

White peoples willingness to blow up every aspect of their lives due to hating black people, boggles my mind. I know that LBJ knew this:

Quote

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

but it still just leaves me absolutely agog. I'm a Red Sox fan, and I can't even generate that level of hate for the god damn Yankees.

This also portends a huge fucking problem for the GOP once he's gone.  It's how this country could swing from Trump to a Mamdani in like 1 or 2 election cycles.

I hope the era of the Dems running a bunch of "centrist" jagoffs who are bought and paid for by various lobbies is coming to an end. This country needs legislators who are passionate about issues that affect us all.

Look, we can argue about the centrism. But until the party is willing to deal with a number of it's internal structural issues, I don't think the middle vs. left thing is all that important versus having a personality.

DC is under occupation right now, and Eleanor Holmes Norton is going to run again despite not being mobile and clearly having mental decline and being 88.  Jefferies should just refuse to seat her on a committee and tell the DC voters its time to inject new blood.  The Democratic part is a deck with rotten supports. Until you rebuild the deck beams, it's closed until further notice. The type of party on that deck, whether its BBQ, Cookout, Carne Asada, Wine tasting, whatever, is totally irrelevant. It's in no position to host right now.

lol, lmao even.

Jeffries is the most spineless piece of shit in the House right now in the caucus, nothing is going to change with the party in the House until he is primaried.

And that's why the race is on to completely fuck over future elections in any way, shape or form.

If it takes masked men holding weapons to keep people from voting, gerrymandering so outrageous that the Supremes give it a thumbs up, or some other method(s) so heinous or not conjured up yet to sway an election, it will happen.

Lulz. Gaslighting again.

What's going down in Team USA is the Reagan-Falwell-Moral Majority GQP wet dream! 

Reagan too was viewed as "outside the establishment" by being a movie star turned politician. Like Trump, he was a "Democrat" turned Republican. He rallied those conservatives, frat boys, and low education, low income, rural types who felt the GQP was not fascist enough, racist enough, Christian enough, and patriotic enough. 

There is a clear through line from Reagan/Moral Majority to Bush 2/Tea Party to Trump/MAGA.

The end goal was a Medieval Anti-Science Fascist America ruled by White Christian and billionaires. 

Quit making excuses for the GQP. This is their American dream.

Oh fuck off, the above is completely non-responsive to what I posted.

Do you ever do anything besides repeat yourself?

Gaslighting my ass.  I rarely neg but you got one.

I was alive and of voting age during the Reagan revolution, and while yes there are some things that trace a direct line, there were about zero of the cultish aspects of the Trump administration present in that era.

Elaborating on the above, because it's possibly worthy of discussing, maybe moreso in the Democratic party thread.

But when Reagan was elected, he was seen as more progressive than Nixon for example, although some considered him a Goldwater Republican.  The latter may be more correct through the lens of history.

But it's important to note, I think, that the American people at that point didn't feel broadly let down by their government.

The 70s sucked shit economically and Carter got saddled with a lot of that, part rightly and part wrongly.

But there absolutely was not the lower classes feeling as completely abandoned as they do now, and by #bothsides, as bozo relentlessly reminds us.  We were still at the tail end of the post-war boom and petrodollar economics were just starting to assert themselves as a major issue.

Yes, Reagan had a lot to do with letting them further down (trickle down) and with engendering distrust of government, but it wasn't the thing that it is today that has people so wildly voting against their own interest.

A later thing, I'm quite sure.  You're conflating subsequent idealization of Reagan with how it really was at the time.

The point, again, being that Americans, particularly lower class ones, did not feel so completely abandoned and misused by the government during the Reagan era. 

I think the Clinton administration probably started to solidify working class not feeling well-served by the government.  Also Obama, but in no small part because he couldn't get anything done other than Obamacare.  And I'm not necessarily blaming either one, but corporate control of  #bothsides took pretty serious hold post-Reagan.

So there weren't cultists calling past Republicans RINOs and shitting on members of their own party who didn't tow the line.

The free shit army didn't vote for Reagan.  They did for Trump.

Also, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Reagan here.  But there are vast differences between America now and America then, including among the electorate.  He was popular, yes, but for conventional reasons, not the same kind of thing as Trump.

He's the worst kind of ally.  Ignore him.  Same shit, different day.
