YoBuckStopsHere“Just Say That the Election Was Corrupt, and Leave the Rest to Me”: In Georgia, Donald Trump Appears Beyond F--ked
HazdazI’m so sick of these headlines.
They remind me of the endless headlines over the years (decades, actually) of how the Republican party is ready to collapse or implode or explode or insert-other-ominous-word-here.
As with all those failed predictions of the GOP going the way of the dodo bird, until I see Trump in an orange jumpsuit I won’t believe any of the shit they claim will happen.
The GOP absolutely imploded. That’s why they went from “compassionate conservative” to full on fash.
They were never compassionate about anything other than money, guns and jebus.
Just because they have shifted their branding doesn’t mean squat about them supposedly imploding. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
This is just ignorant man. The GOP, especially prior to the late 90s, was a coalition party the same way the Dems are. They now are not.
You don’t have to agree with anything the old GOP stood for to recognize this fact.
You need to realize: Republicans were lying back then, too. Those are talking points for them, not fundamental beliefs.
The only difference now is they’re just telling you what they mean instead of couching it in dog whistles, like “urban” (black) problems, or the Satanic Panic of the 80sand 90s… They’re the same judgemental pricks.
They really weren’t tho. You had traditional conservatives (what, say, Trump pretends to be), small-business Chamber of Commerce conservatives, neocons, evangelicals, and some amount of neoliberals that identified as conservative, along with independents-who-trend-R like Libertarians.
There used to be very strong pro-welfare conservatives, pro-environment conservatives, etc sprinkled throughout the entire mix.
Those groups have been driven away or subsumed into nationalists and evangelicals.
Those other conservatives were only there because of the lies of the party.
What kind of legislation did they pass?
Abortion bans, protection of marriage acts, controlling sex ed in school, “patriot” acts that legalize spying on citizens…
They’ve ALWAYS been judgemental monsters. Stop buying their lies. They aren’t even using them any more.
The patriot act enjoyed a comfortable 60% support even years after it was passed: abcnews.go.com/US/PollVault/story?id=833703
Honestly man you just don’t understand the way the world was before.
Honestly man, you just don’t understand how conservative the US is.
Also wrong, but youre keeping your Ripken-like streak of big wrong alive.
He’s not even center-right for Norway lol.
Are you kiterally fucking stupid>I have never and will never support monarchy. The fact you think that after this seriously means your brain is fucking broken.
It’s not an ad hominem if it is both relevant to the topic and correct.
I didn’t say you supported monarchy. I said that center-right group in Norway does. Bernie Sanders is not center-right in Europe
Reading is FUNdamental
Why are you strawmanning my point by comparing him to Norway alone? Why are you insisting that the prrsence of a right wing indicates they’re not further left than us? Are you denying the very existence of right wing people outside of the US?
Remember: Many of those countries have proportional representation, so the mere presence of a ringht winger in a position of power is not an indication the entire place supports them.
You said he was center-right in Europe so I picked the ur-example of the progressive ideal in Europe to show you he is not, in fact, center-right.
Where in Europe do you believe Sanders is center-right, and in what ways are those countries indicative of the EU as a whole?
