A nice wake-up call to all of those people who think the Bushes are the good guys compared to Trump and other modern-day Republicans.

Too many people only dislike Trump because he doesn’t hide his awfulness behind nice words and good manners. That explains the myopic liberals (the kind of people who just looove Hamilton and Elon Musk) who are willing to forget the Iraq war, the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina, and spreading “illegitimate black…

How does Roy Moore reconcile his anti-Muslim rhetoric while having views on homosexuality that aren’t much different than the average Islamist? He just wants fewer brown immigrants, that’s all.

These never-Trump Republicans and neoconservatives only dislike Trump because he gets his fascism on without nice words and good manners.

You have to admire John’s cognitive dissonance here, though. We’re all allegedly communists just for supporting organized labor, yet he’s the one praising the Chinese communist dictatorship’s “market socialism.” It also hasn’t occured to him that even that still has more government intervention than America’s economy.

By the way, Taiwan still has a much higher standard of living than mainland China does, and it has more government intervention in the economy (as well as the health care system).

You know damned well the post-WWII mass prosperity that happened in the US was because of a third of workers being unionized and plenty of government intervention in the economy, and not because of unregulated capitalism. Of course, that’s precisely *why* people of your ilk oppose unions and regulations. After all,…

People claimed that Roe v. Wade would get overturned if GWB won the White House, too. The real reason the GOP supports a right-wing Supreme Court is so they can rule in favor of the rich and powerful (i.e. serve capitalism).  

Good point about Corbyn, although the British political system is different.

I find the notion that there is no other alternative than triangulation/status quo since Obama won twice just by running as a mainstream liberal. I remember that a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters called him a “purist” in 2008, too.

The one and only compelling reason is that the GOP is now worse than ever, but I do sympathize with your view nonetheless. With Trump as President, the Democratic establishment sees no need to change.

And Hillary Clinton isn’t a rich white lady?

Oh, shut up. Most of us here (including myself) held our noses and voted for Clinton last year. I’ve never cared for Jill Stein myself, either.

Probably the most obvious (and pathetic) example of what you described was Chuckie Schumer actually believing the Democratic Party would win “moderate” Republican voters in Pennsylvania last year.

He’ll likely end up serving his time in the prison hospital ward if he’s finally found guilty because of his age and health problems.

We must have the same neighbors.

I’m a little surprised that he’s a bicycle activist. Guys with reactionary views like this are normally for cars-first transportation and view non-drivers as losers and betas.

I wonder why it is that so many nerds get into reactionary politics, especially since it’s largely because of said politics that they’re bullied and ostracized. Is it a misdirected sense of revenge? Projection, perhaps? Does it make them feel powerful? Do they blame women (and feminism) for the reason they couldn’t…

A gold-digger, probably.
