Why is always considered “reasonable” and stuff when Republicans agree with Democrats?
Because leftists do not tolerate ANY dissent
“...Why is always considered “reasonable” and stuff when Republicans agree with Democrats?...”
Because when you control the debate, the message, the mouthpieces FOR the message, and the audio/video presentations of the message, you can make those that disagree with you look as “unreasonable” as you want.
And many in the GOP are gutless weasels that refuse to reach down, find their pair, remember they’re men, and stand up for what they say they believe in.
Moderate Republicans are as extinct as moderate Democrats.
LOL! Right you are!
This is a fascinating article. I think the most telling part is this quote: “Where once the tea party was an asset to the GOP, it has now become a liability.” I view that as less the authors opinion and more simply reporting the attitude that he encountered.
Several of us have been suggesting that this is no mistake. That rather than trying to keep the gop wing of the uniparty intact, perhaps the calculus has already been run and the decision has been made that it would be better to have a gop without conservatives in it. And if you’re going to conduct a purge, what better way to do that than to have conservatives self purge themselves?
That goes a long way in explaining things like the cochroach campaign in MS. If your objective is to drive a class of people out of an organization, then engaging in conduct that outrages that class is a pretty good way to do it.
