I maintain that progressive's belief that when Dems loose progressives win is important. It isn't true.

is ”rape apologia “ close enough? This one just came through.

Please look at this Ellie. i have seen no evidence of Talarico saying he doesn’t want votes from black voters. Yet here we are spiraling with the slightest nudge.

Granted there isn’t an inevitable path from conservative to nazi but Mr Steven’s line between conservative and GOP is much brighter than is warranted. And as far as character…

Yes he is insightful and affable in interviews. I think he is a lot like Michael Steele, who I always listen to. But they both refuse to acknowledge that Stuart Stevens book title accurately reflects its contents.

They aren't as good at lying. I will give you that.

This statement engenders more despair than any doomsayer could possibly make. The GOP lies with no constraints and media figures say "yeah sometimes they lie". Can anyone tell me a single position of the GOP in the past 30 year that wasn't a lie?

One of the most discouraging things in all of this mess is hearing people equating psychotic lying and reasoned discourse .

We also need to regularly call out the ecosystem as lying liars and the lies they tell. It's not a new or extreme position.

I’m a firm believer in us being nowhere near the end of the authoritarian road, but are you rethinking the ICC not being up to the task of going after Hegseth when this admin falls ? (Assuming he travels abroad)

No. I pointed out that you were being condescending to a lady who said she was worried. Saying someone "has hired a sniper" is very different from pointing out that Trump has already attempted political assassination. Fortunately he did it ineptly, but it did happen.

Ok, Donald would never use violence to retain power. Thanks for setting me straight.

She has the right to feel fascism is close. It is. It certainly isn't here yet but anyone who thinks Trump would never set off a bomb right before the SOTU and assassinate the liberal justices is not paying attention.

I’m not sure if your view of the times is jaundiced or rose colored but it’s not clear. Max Cleland left three limbs in Vietnam. The GOP playbook portrayed him as a traitor for trying to modify the law. It was the pattern .

I hope those who agree with this remember that it led to two of the worst presidents in history.

I suspect that elevated corridor will have a Hello Dolly styled escalator that he can descend for the masses.

I agree with part of what you said.

Not according to Stuart Steven’s and Barry Goldwater. They both believed the GOP insanity was there all along. They just hoped it wouldn’t take complete control.
