President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I think that this sort of thing is a continuation of the right wing using the language of the opposition as a fairly effective tactic.

Racism and calls for violence become free speech issues. Anti abortion arguments are turned from individual rights for women into an overriding personal right of the unborn. Hate groups depict themselves as a minority persecuted by the government. Corporations are given rights previously preserved as individual rights.

It’s not much of a surprise to me that, when people begin to wage convincing campaigns against the closing of poling places in precincts that tend to vote Democrat and increasing stringent voting requirements that disproportionately disenfranchise non-GOP voters, voices on the Right would use the same sort of language and tactics to claim that they are the ones who the system is rigged against.

That the evidence isn’t on their side isn’t all that important to them, other than to be the reason that they need to whine much louder.

 

Me, too. But I agree, Perdue and Loeffler are dead in the water without keeping the Trumpists in the fold. Neither one could punch their way out of a wet paper sack without massive help from the screech machine.

And old white people dominate runoffs and off-year elections, because they literally have nothing else to do. The Democrats will have to do something spectacular (hello, Obama!) to get out their base.

 

More Arizonans voted for trump than McSally. She must be a freak.
It’s also fair to say that if Hitler, Osama Bib Ladin or Joe Stalin were republican candidates against FDR, JFK or LBJ, 95% of republican voters would vote the republican party candidate.

 

Abortion is a female, white, college educated, middle class issue. The overwhelming majority of African Americas, Hispanics, Asians are neutral If not opposed to abortion.

 

I was referring to the language-flipping aspect of the crusade against abortion.

For example, many Southern Baptists in my very-red-but-not-red-enough-for-them state say that they view their fight as akin to the abolition movement, yet their church came into being because they opposed that movement.

 

Loeffler was appointed, not elected

 

So, is Parler pronounced “parlor” or parlay?

 

The former, and all you need to know is Dan Bongino owns a piece of it

 

Funeral Parler.
