well stated
https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...h-donald-trump
quote: More than 11 years ago, before Donald Trump emerged from the primordial ooze of the far-right fever swamp, before the aborted January 6 insurrection and before the latest spasm of Republican extremism felled House speaker Kevin McCarthy, t wo renowned political scientists, Thomas Mann, and Norman Ornstein, put their finger on the essence of increasingly dysfunctional US politics: the Republican party. Mann and Ornstein argued that the Grand Old Party (GOP) had become an “insurgent outlier” that was “ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition”.
Eleven years later, the enfant terrible of American politics has somehow got unimaginably worse. The GOP today is less a political party and more an inchoate mass of cultural grievances, conspiracy theories and lowest common denominator political slogans. Trump, for all his toxicity, is a symptom of the GOP’s decades-long descent into madness. Legislating is not seen as a tool for bettering the plight of the American people but rather an opportunity to troll Democrats and play to the perceived slights of the party’s rank-and-file supporters.

Yep….but they can still tell a man from a woman
They can spot groomers going after kids in schools
They understand that bail is how you keep scum bags off the street
They understand that less police means more crime
They can spot a total hoax virus being funded by our own government and used to crash our economy/way of life etc
They understand that when you deny weapons to law abiding people the only people with weapons are criminals
They understand that our founders would never have put up with a tax rate of 50% and would have never let it get out of hand.
They understand that any living organism that has a heartbeat is “alive” and “viable” until deemed not……..
I’ll stop now……..you get the point.

You did well up to that point. There's nothing in this universe to justify that kind of optimism.

Yes, we get the point. The point is you are a delusional fool and all eight of your so called points prove that 100 times over.

Spoken by someone who cannot do or understand any of these 8 points.
Oh, and we also know which bathroom to use.

There is mor to that than physical attributes. A fact which your undeveloped brain cannot comprehend.
They can spot groomers going after kids in schools
You couldn’t spot the groomer in a pet store.
They understand that bail is how you keep scum bags off the street
Bail keeps poor people off the streets, while criminals who have money go free almost regardless of their crime.
They understand that less police means more crime
And more police means a police state.
They can spot a total hoax virus being funded by our own government and used to crash our economy/way of life etc
Everything about that statement screams you are an ignorant fool. The virus was real. There are a million proofs lying in our cemeteries. There was no government funding involved., and the government kept the economy with its financial aid.
They understand that when you deny weapons to law abiding people the only people with weapons are criminals
Nobody-except you-is talking about denying weapons to law abiding people.we’re talking about making certain they are law abiding. The tougher it is to obtain a gun for everyone, the tougher it is for criminals.
They understand that our founders would never have put up with a tax rate of 50% and would have never let it get out of hand.
The founders would have put up with whatever tax rate was necessary to run the government. This is 2023, not 1788.

Fetal viability is the ability of a human fetus to survive outside the uterus. Medical viability is generally considered to be between 23 and 24 weeks gestational age.
Merely having a heartbeat has nothing to do with it.

Most humans can't survive on their own until they are teenagers, doesn't make them any less human.
Is someone on oxygen or full life support, less human and not worthy of living?
If someone is declared dead when their heart stops, why can't they be declared alive when their heart starts?

That's funny, you lie all the time by branding people with negative attributes, they don't have, in fact that is slander.
You also constantly insult people's intelligence while yet to display any of your own. If you even had a lick of the intelligence you claimed you would have held more that an entry level job in 40+ years of working. Your resume you posted confirmed what I thought. So comical how you point out people misspelling words and turn right around and do it yourself.
