The Emasculated American

[midcan5]

The republicans appear lost since Trump was elected. It is almost as if they stand for nothing except opposition to democratic priorities. Their opposition to healthcare for seven years showed how weak and useless they are when given orders from their commander in chief to make an even better healthcare - they failed completely. Odd but the best they can do is stand in opposition to progress an opposition that is covered in book linked below. Without 'dark money' instructing the emasculated republican they are lost and America suffers.

"This important shift in Wood’s thinking helped him and the rest of us understand more clearly the emergence of liberalism in 19th-century America, since mere feelings of benevolence proved too weak at that time to restrain the overriding commercial values of individualism and self-interest. Whether the modern virtues of fellow feeling and decency (efficacious in social life) can by themselves constitute a significant force in the political realm is the question Wood’s analysis raises. In other words, one is led to wonder whether politeness alone — without a commitment to shared sacrifice — is sufficient to merit the title of civic virtue, and hence to serve as the foundation of a politics that takes seriously the idea of the common good."

While I agree I find Pence just as scary and a bigot on top of it.

Yes, but he can work w/ his own party & possibly the other party..

The gop is resisting his agenda & trying to lay out their own=conflict & things don't get done..
