Reposted by Airbuilder7John Hausman @thisoldhaus.bsky.social · 13hI was just remembering the post-Watergate congressional revival of the 1970s. It did happen. It can happen. But Democrats had to win big in 1974 for it to happen. (I lived in Jerry Ford's home congressional district, and even there the Democrat won for the first time in a zillion years.) 051
Reposted by Airbuilder7"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 13hAnyway, Trumpism is a shocking political failure. If the Democrats can come up with a compelling, persuasive message and policy vision, the GOP has, I think, essentially handed them an opportunity for another Progressive Era or New Deal era (or Reagan Era) - a long period of political dominance. 924013

Reposted by Airbuilder7"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 14hIn a sense, this has been a fairly comprehensive test of the MAGA theory of politics: maximum cruelty with maximum visibility on social media, combined by obvious efforts at electoral bribery and relentlessly protectionist trade policies and it just...failed. Americans on the net hate all of it. 329523
