I think we have all seen a pattern where Democrats do things, and Republicans complain about them. The Democrats install a president, and the Republicans complain. But the Republicans never do anything ballsy like the Democrats do. About as far as they will go is appointing a judge they had every right to and treat it as a great act of defiance.
Then Trump comes along and he tries to do things, and both sides complain. It's like the Democrats are allowed to hold all the power even when they have none.
I firmly believe that we haven't had a fair election in our lifetimes, but they fucked up and let Trump in. We all got a good look behind the curtain, and we must never forget what we saw.
Many establishment gop are grifters just like most of the democrats. They care only about their ability to grift and not is what is good for the country. They need to be primaried.
But the Democrats are grifters that will do anything to win. The Republicans are grifter lap dogs. Both can get fucked.
I think this is because of "do anything ballsy like the Democrats do". I think the Democratic party is and has been more corrupt than the GOP for decades. Because of this, they have the rewards to offer up (because the rewards are illegal). Case in point, Mitt Romney's relative ends up on Ukranian natural gas company board. I think they have a good portion of Republicans bought and paid for. They pass an Iran deal, which includes built in promises of re-investing the money into businesses that GOP members profit from. They control everything because they are the cash cow. Illegal cash cow.
That and controlling the intelligence agencies helps.
True, but why are the Democrats in charge of them? Why not the other way around, or a little more equal?
It's more important for them to lose graciously than to win
Republicans have been filled with unipartt members playing the role of controlled opposition. Trump changed that and invigorated a new generation who look to take ground instead of lose graciously.
