Tony, Pretty MuchNew Jersey Republicans thought they’d pick up some seats in the NJ legislature by running on the same horrible platform they always have. And they lost more seats.

DocHolliday@Huntn00 Lincoln yes, Reagan I doubt. He would be a true Republican, similar to Romney or Bill Weld, as opposed to what the party has become (i.e. a haven for fascists).

On this date, in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president. At that time, he was representative of, at least part, of the Republican Party.
Were he alive today, he would be both outraged and astonished at what his party has become and the evil it constitutes in our society.
Kim PeralesHow to close the partisan divide:
Beshear & Presley, the surging underdog Dem in MS, have shown that their party’s brand can be detoxified on hostile terrain with a focus on jobs, education & HC & by intensely personal campaigns that encourage voters to forget culture wars & partisan loyalties. In his Covid briefings: "He came across as the gubernatorial version of Mr Rogers.” His response to floods in E KY & tornadoes in the west reinforced this image.

Bread and CircusesMany years ago, when I was still working, I had an active Facebook account with over 5000 followers. That didn’t really make me a big deal there, of course, but I was proud of having at least some influence on a few people.
I left Facebook behind when I retired in 2012 and relocated to Europe. I needed a little time off then to recharge my batteries, rediscover my identity, and relax before jumping back into the fray.
After a year or so of chilling out, I started a Twitter account, calling it Bread and Circuses. My focus initially was on the appalling state of traditional party politics, especially in the USA. But as time went on, I felt increasingly compelled to comment on the worsening climate and environmental crises.
Upon my return to the USA in 2018, I tried to make my Twitter presence more meaningful, but it never took off. I couldn’t find traction there. And we all know what happened soon after that…
Space Karen arrived and quickly made Twitter toxic, so I jumped over to Mastodon in November 2022. That’s a choice I will never regret. It’s been such a joy to connect with so many smart, caring, and sincere people here. I feel incredibly lucky and very very happy. 🤗
