Not really. The Republicans are opposing popular policies and obviously practicing obstruction. How they think this will get them ahead at this point I don't know. Over the last bunch of years, it is traditional to oppose a party which doesn't achieve their agenda, but this time it is clear why.
I am also looking at the crisis transformation of the culture. What seem to be the issues? Cure Covid. Reduce systematic racism. Government has a role in supporting the poor and building infrastructure. These are not winning issues for conservatives. They oppose change. A crisis is about change. That is why the no change faction in prior American crises has always lost.
While a failure of the administration in recent years has lost them power, it was not so in the last crisis. FDR kept winning with larger and larger majorities. I suspect the Republicans are playing a loosing strategy. We will see how it plays out.
It's going to be really hard to cure Covid without a cure for Covid while continuing to allow and continuing to assist thousands of foreign undocumented/unvaccinated/illegals/ Covid infected people to enter the country each day. So Bob, how many blue partisan morons/ political hacks/LW extremists like yourself and the others are currently living in the country right now? 30-40 million or so maybe? So, how are 30-40 million or so warped minded Left Wingers going to defeat 70 some million hard core Americans who have the right to defend their country. Biden is done. You can cling to him if you want but it's not going to help or stop us from undermining his authority and further weakening him and the system that his administration currently represents. Now, switching to a blue (vile sexist word excised) that most of the country already knows is both illegitimate and incompetent isn't going to help either and more likely make matters worse for those stuck living in Acirema.
Do you have any evidence that undocumented aliens are appreciably more likely to have COVID-19 than the rest of us, unless it involves workplace exposure?
Left or Right, the appropriate response to COVID-19 is inoculation. That's how Americans dealt with the infamous killer and disabler polio. There is no obvious cure, but there certainly is prevention. See also smallpox, whooping cough, diphtheria, measles, shingles, and papilloma. Inoculation is far easier and more effective -- and permanent. It's like defensive driving: prevention is a better course of action than getting into a vehicle collision and expecting insurance to pay for it all.
Oh, by the way -- Trump lost the election roughly 81 million to 74 million. Trump lost much of the moderate-conservative vote for violating the values of moderate conservatives. Should the Republicans win back those conservatives that Trump offended in 2020 they will win the presidency in 2024. That will not be with Donald Trump or with someone who offers the same failed pitch.
Kamala Harris is fully qualified Constitutionally to be President. She has a keen legal mind, which is exactly what one needs in the wake of a President who made a mockery of the rule of law.
Quote:For the last time, I don't care who kills you or how you all die at this point. The same goes for the Liberal elite aka the Blue ruling class who control the strings and their puppet politicians and bureaucrats. War is hell dude, it's to bad that you and the others are going to learn it first hand (the hard way). So, do you know the difference between stealing and the way the blue poor are able to make a living these days? Do you even care if it's right or wrong at this point? I'd say most idiots don't care at this point. How long can you afford to be plundered without any legal recourse? How long are you going to be able to remain insured? I mean, they're already free to steal up to $950 with no legal recourse in some coastal blue cities aka round head strong holds.
So far we in Blue America are more than replacing ourselves, if with people not our children. Others' children. Your side alienates its youth.
The real puppeteers are the right-wing plutocrats like the Walton, Scaife, Koch, and Mercer families who provide copious funding to right-wing pols who act as abject sycophants in elective office.
There isn't going to be any civil war in America. The military has no desire to turn against fellow Americans. Sure, there will be skirmishes by KKK and neo-Nazi types who do mass murders by mowing down people in a synagogue or a mosque... One person with a gun (your solution!) who gets a head shot finishes the slaughter with the death of the perpetrator. Our system catches the racist warriors, tries them, and puts them away -- if they don't choose instead to be blown away.
We are learning much the hard way from Donald Trump. We are learning that demagoguery works in appealing to mentally-shaky people. People like me do not want it on my side; it leads to bad public policy because the appeals of demagogues always imply serious contradictions. Not mere paradoxes, the contradictions can never reconcile. We have discovered that coarseness in political rhetoric can result in political victories. Some people like to be riled up.
Rational thought solves more problems and creates fewer.
A couple days ago I saw a banner that said F--- Biden. Your side has no respect for the sensibilities of the rest of us.
