Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Maybe not as extreme, but pretty much the youth culture of Republicans going back to their yield days of 2000 was always how big an asshole can I be and laugh at other people’s misery I’m sorry as a progressive, at that age we were thinking we should get these fossil fuel idiots out and try to fix 100
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025But watching them comment on the “jubilee” bullshit far right radicalized asshole surrounding Medi Hassan, who had no problem dispensing these idiots But listening to Tim and Sarah saying they know these types and that was pretty much many of the same people they were around coming up 100

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025The Republican agenda of which they were very much a part of, built this shit house over decades, starting with Reagan and then George W Bush, ripping the rug out from under America and then crashing an economy that Democrats had rebuilt Or the fact that Republicans stopped crafting any meaningful 100
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I’ve listened to the @thebulwark.com since it’s inception I figured I’d wanna hear what our Republican friends that created this mess had to say They pretty regularly complained about Trump and briefly touch on some Republicans, but never seem to just say the reason we’re here is because 100
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I’d love to know more about what Jvl has to say but he’s so thin skinned. He blocked me. He seems like such an intelligent fellow when you chat together But I wish you bulworkers would admit that Jubilee episode and your young Republicans Were created in the cauldron of your party Over decades 000
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025“Washington” Sorry, adam it’s one party and one party alone that is so thoroughly and utterly corrupt financially morally, and cannot govern whatsoever The Republican Party has pretty much rubber, stamped everything this dictator buffoon asked for It’s your party Half of Washington 000

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Funny what your Republican Party has built Your party ended the growth of the middle class pretty much with the 80s and have continued to rip it apart by root and branch And now you finally opened your eyes And I’m supposed to celebrate that ? 000
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025The great compression as your guest hopefully reminded you, was pretty much ripped out by its roots by Republicans and has continued without slowing down for 45 years And now you wanna say poor little white boys No, and fucking know 110

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025It’s great that you had your soliloquy about growing up and all the benefits you received That would be because of democratic leaders pushing through those benefits And then right out of your soliloquy you scream straight into “Democrat’s fault”!!!! Why did you say the word republican? 000
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Scott, I know you’re sitting in Ibiza sipping a fuzzy Skrillex But you’re old enough to know that Ronald Reagan was the one that cut the legs out from under all the benefits you received and every single Republican after that hasn’t made it their life’s work I’m sure Heather can enlighten you 011
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025After listening to your podcast with Jennifer, checking all the boxes of what’s wrong And your soliloquy about growing up in the benefits you received You hit the gas pedal straight into screaming about Democrats Republicans have eroded this over the last 45 years By design Say their names 000
