They have all this control but the only box these guys have ticked is removing some brown people from the country (who they are very likely never crossed paths with). Everything else is getting shitter for them, so what’s to celebrate?
Also the law that froze the number of house seats (and this number of electrical college votes), screwing everything up and allowing both Bush and the pedo to “win” was passed in 1929.
It should be triple by now.
Tankies will continue to say both sides same
I’m not a tankie, and I agree with “bOtH sIdEs SaMe” in regards to being pro-military, and pro-corporate, and anti-labor, for example.
Sure, they have some differences, too. But really not that many.
The major parties have another “sAmE”… they are both less than 30% of the voters now. Independents are now 40% of the voters (pick your poll, there are many). So… of course your party machine surrounds you with “both sides” disparagement and talking points.
Good, it’s to be expected.
Tankies really follow the will of the despots.
Which side is against genocide? Which side is against war?
Remember when the Dems controlled all three bodies and for all that non stop hysterial talk about gun control what happened?..crickets … no change. Why would anyone expect change from either side is always my question.
Sorry when was this that dems had filibuster proof control of house, senate and presidency for a while?
Probably when they out through romneycare.
Roaring 30s
The same shit as right now.
There is higher than 0% chance that DJT won’t reach a deal with Iran “Soon”, the possibility of oil crisis and economic recession are still very real.
I want the price of gas to be $25 dollars per gallon
$25 a gallon will cause a severe economic recession. I’m not sure I want a third “one in a lifetime recession”
I want the collapse and dissolution of the United States.
I want the balkanization of the United States and $65 dollars a gallon!
I volunteer as tribute in the Hunger Games? Ugh.
Tomato / tomatah!
Right now, prices and availability are being kept semi stable by draw downs on strategic reserves, but that won’t last forever.
Hell, it probably won’t last another month.
Allowing presidents to pick your justices and then giving them jobs for life is the stupidest system ever created. Ripe for abuse.
A country built on the back of genocide and slavery is the stupidest system ever created. Ripe for abuse.
They have to get approved by our Congress too it’s just that they’re also not doing their jobs well.
What so bizarre is SCOTUS has always been conservative. We get a couple of judges who are not hardcore conservatives and they help make a couple of rulings that aren’t just one sided conservative nonsense and suddenly “they are taking over the judiciary with activist judges”.
So the conservatives do exactly this, they start stacking their already suck ass conservative courts that always rule for big business with even more extreme ideological fucktards. Every accusation is a confession I suppose.
Party like it’s 1928! But with soda and lemonade!
Definitely not the flex they think it is.
That was before the Southern Strategy
The what?
Essentially racism as a political platform developed by Nixon’s campaign as a reactionary movement to the Civil Rights movement.
Jerry Falwell didn’t want his whites-only college to be integrated by mandate, and started the Moral Majority, a voting bloc that didn’t care how crooked a candidate was (or worked against their interests) so long as they were anti-abortion-access. And this helped Reagan win by a landslide in 1980.
And as many history analyses will show you, Reagan was the beginning of the end of the United States by an uncountable number of different metrics.
To oversimplify, the parties “switched” platforms in the 60s when Republicans realized that they could appeal to uneducated, racist white people.
The southern strategy was also kind of the major tactic the Democratic Party used to maintain the New Deal coalition. It essentially meant ignoring southern racism in favor of major infrastructure. Southern states just fucked over infrastructure projects where it served black people. It fell apart when, in the 1950s, the Democratic Party began to pursue racial rights.
*edit But it was Nixon and the GOP that coined it as a term I believe. It’s a long standing strategy in American politics, though.
Yeah take us back to the start of the great depression, such awesome rad times in America. Everyone was living high on the hog and business was booming!!!
There will be inflation and you will love it.
The Great Depression featured deflation, for whatever the hell that’s worth.
I mean, that seems like that would be nice to have, at least for a bit…
They don’t know a lot of things
ah yes, party like its the most recent '28. with a beer.
which was illegal at the time.
some kind of dog whistle?
