More and more they just seem anti-governance in nearly all forms besides religious governance. They know Trump is sabotaging these government programs and they'd just assume cheer. They try not to let on to that though. Government tells them to do something they were already doing and they'd probably still piss and moan.
Funny, if I am not mistaken some seemed surprise that politics was akin to the "law of the jungle" & not gentlemen & gentlewomen's parliamentary niceties & norms..
Naive or stupid??
SomeOne will need to ask this @ some point~WHY WAS MY PARTY NOT PREPARED FOR THIS & HAVE A PLAN??
Seems this is often the case now, or so it seems....
Didn't pelosi & shumar have some kinda contingency game when there became a vacancy??
Perhaps they were not aware of her illness & visits to the hospital??
Perhaps the party made a mistake having passed up younger talent & the future of the party for elderly leadership, a mere step or two behind their competitors??
I hope I am wrong....... We'll see here soon enough
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
Power grab? Lower taxes, pro-business, pro-2A, pro-Israel, pro-wall, anti-regulation, trade with china and even our traditional partners in the west. That's pretty much why I vote GOP. Just one example, lower taxes, how is that a "power grab"? Less revenue for the govt=less money for them to do stupid shit(actually, this tends to backfire on me, as businesses and industry tend to produce MORE, and therefore generate MORE revenue for the govt).Or is everything about a power-grab and just any bullshit you can make up along the way to make that happen?
This doesn't strike you as slightly hypocritical, that your own standards are so fluid that you can "protest vote"? Are you satisfied when the jackasses win and erode the things you supposedly believe in?By many accounts, you'd think I should vote conservative. I'm Christian, pro-life, not a fan of the left letting gender dysphoria illnesses be catered to rather than treated properly, and believe in certain amounts of gun freedom beyond what you'd get from the average liberal. Unfortunately, you Republicans are so phony and never stick to your own standards anymore that I vote Democrat.
I consider the terms "conservative" and "liberal" to be in the rear view mirror. I've pretty much given up on anyone being able to address the debt and deficit, regardless how "conservative" anyone is. And I have noticed that use of the word "liberal" has fallen off, too. With as much stuff as they want to take away from us, and the amount of stuff they want to force upon us, I guess they understand that if they call themselves liberals, they will look even more like buffoons. Now they are radicals.You aren't even definable as conservative so much anymore. Bunch of hypocritical phonies.
Why? Vacancy on the court, prez appoints, senate confirms, because constitution. Why should this be so scary?Watch your backs, this court justice issue is so much more volatile than you realize.
Okay, let's say we "don't screw up", and wait until after the election. What should we expect if Trump wins, but the senate goes blue and they keep the house. You think Trump is gonna change his nominee because of that? Or if harris wins, but the GOP takes the house and expands the senate to a veto proof majority? So much game of thrones shit going on. But I feel safe saying one thing for certain: The right won't start the violence either way, and I ain't scared of the lunatic left. As far as the left getting too much unchecked power, nutbag nancy is already talking impeachment over this: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...-vote-n1240568Please don't screw up so bad that you cause an uprising or the left gets too much unchecked power.
Another thing in the rear view mirror. The American govt has been dysfunctional to where it's really noticeable for the last ten years, with the last 4 being nothing but a giant hissy fit by the drama queens on the left.Both sides kind of suck but they work well enough in a good enough balance.
The GOP hasn't lowered it's standards or left them behind or whatever you think has happened to them. We are now faced with simply trying to maintain somewhat of a status quo. You lefties run around waving free college, free health insurance, all paid for by draconian taxes on the evil rich and touting the green new scam, all the while bragging about how socialist you are. I'm 63 years old. I teach welding to adults and HS kids. During the obama years(all 8 of them), you know how many employers came into the shop looking for apprentices? Zero. The Trump years(pre-pandemic)? Two to four a month(a LOT more the first few months). This is another reason why I vote GOP. Because in a few years I want to retire and not worry if there are enough people working to pay my social security and medicare(two more "freebies" from the left that got out of hand real quick). I just want to travel around the country for a few years before I go home to Jesus(yes, I'm a Christian too, known to backslide on occasion). If harris wins, I retire the next day, because I know I won't have long before the whole thing turns to dog poop. Really not looking forward to seeing millennials with "will tutor your child on the communist manifesto for food" signs. Just trying to be pragmatic, that's all.

Why is this thread in current events?
Liberals don't even follow their own rules of Political Correctness or ID politics. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee. This is the mark of Socialist Authoritarianism.
The Dems are the same socialist party that jammed Obamacare down the people's throats on a totally partisan vote. There is nothing gentlemanly about the leftwing hypocrites when they get power.

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
Liberal used to mean small limited gov't. NOT in this Orwellian Democrat party. It means socialist authoritarianism.
The Democrat Party are threatening violence in the streets if they don't get their way. These are Brown Shirt socialists. They threaten to pack the court, and add DC and PR8 as States, to pack the Senate, and establish One Party Rule.
