Oppression begins as soon as our resistance ends! They want us to get tired and accept what is happening to our freedom & end democracy. We can not stop making our opposition heard!! Contact your Republican representatives & demand they support judges & the LAW or demand their resignations
Mike Johnson, because you won't call for impeachment, we are stuck in the hellscape that is the fat orange fuck administration, wishing we had any of those presidents back, even W.
DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!
What was that duel between Hamilton and Burr about?
I think politics got much more "civilized" when both parties realized they could benefit from each other. I'd say the modern ugliness started with Fox news.
Before MAGA the world was a kinder, more respectful place. Trump and MAGA have made hate, vitriol, disrespectful behaviour and violence 'acceptable' again. Sadly it's infected Canada as well. So much anger and hatred in this election. Like none before in my 70+ history.
Yes, starting off in the Reagan era. He fully endorsed the Heritage plan for changing government from an organisation that worked for its people, into one that exploited its people for the benefit of a wealthy few.
That's a highlight reel. Swift boat ads in 2004? Freedom fries... But something has been slowly changing since the late 90s. It seems around 2010 it accelerated, and I think gen z and younger millennials have no idea politicians need to work across the aisle and that compromise is a good thing.
Typical cultish behavior, but the turnip is just an avatar. This started with Reagan, was accelerated through the 90’s by Gingrich & the crew at “Liberty U”…
But they started to lose control of some elements beginning in the late 90’s and then they lost it entirely w/ the “Tea Party”…
May I suggest the Kennedy/Nixon debate? The courtesy and civility is truly stunning. I had imagined that Nixon would attack like a pit bull with rabies, but oh no, it just ain't so.
Democrats and Republicans have always been chummy with each other for decades. That's what is exactly wrong with t
American politics. There's literally no difference between them at all.
Let's take foreign policy, for example. Both major political parties of our corporate-controlled corrupt political duopoly are 100% joined at the hip when it comes to bombing our perceived enemies on a daily basis while enriching those of the MIC. Neoliberals and neocons come from the same cloth.
And last of my response, environmentalism & regulations. Dems for, Rs against. Banking & finance regulations: Dems for, Rs against. Foreign policy is always case by case.
Furthermore, on most social issues they are different, not of “same cloth”. On economic issues, also oppose Rs & trickle down bs. On campaign finance, only McCain lead with Dems on reform. On civils rights, going back to southern strategy, Dems lead & Rs became racist party. Different cloth.
The Democrats produced zero meaninfgul results on college student loan relief, except for some piecemeal crap. Both parties are corrupt with campaign finance. The civil rights era is a rather dated era, but even so, the Dixiecrats like Strom Thurmond were worse than Republicans.
The courts came down on the student loan relief. I’m old. I’ve watched for yrs how hard it is to pass anything good with this split 💩 happening. It’s awful. Current campaign finance pushes everyone into bad turf. Bernie & AOC try to stay grassroots. PACs do help them.
That’s also not true. I recall the first Persian gulf war and after it began I went to Europe where I was asked why USA warmongers so much. I pointed out the vote for war was split close to half - Dems opposed. Most Dems always have issues w/ wars esp Middle East. 9/11 was different & contentious.
Good Lord. The Persian Gulf War had bipartisan support. Notable Democratic Senators voting for it were Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein and George Mitchell. Notable Dem representatives include Speaker Tom Foley and Majority Leader Bob Gephardt. Don't insult my intelligence, ma'am.
Not trying to insult you at all. 😊Go look at the vote numbers. I’m aware of who voted for it. It was 52-47 is not really much on overwhelming bipartisan support.
I will go back a little further,
The architects (my opinion) of hate politics...Newt Gingrich, Jerry Falwell Sr and their megaphone mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh, fertilized the ground of the American "heartland", Reagan paved the road to it by appointing those he knew would end the fairness doctrine.
POtuS is the 2nd republican president to be suspected of, and investigated for conspiring with a foreign adversary.
#1 spot goes to Reagan/daddy Bush, and daddy Bush holds the dirtiest cover up pardons spot.
Both cover ups aided by.....Bill Barr.
Baby Bush helped too ! EO #13233

Even in the Obama era, there was ugliness.
Trump just exploited it and ramped it up.
“Well, sure, but you wouldn’t be—if this were Biden, well, first of all, he wouldn't do an interview because he was grossly incompetent.”
We spoke to him last year, Mr. President.
“Huh?”
We spoke to him a year ago.

MAGA doesn’t care about the country… if they can’t own it all, they will burn it to the ground.
He will return to the righteous what the others have taken from them.
He will return the righteous to their rightful place above the others.
He is their sword and they his shield.
They have found their God.
He is hate.
But they started to lose control of some elements beginning in the late 90’s and then they lost it entirely w/ the “Tea Party”…
