Any blue avatars want to defend this guy?  Him and Trump are the two leaders of your party.  By having a blue avatar you are saying that you support Mitch and Trump.  This is the entirety of the Republican Party at this point.

Having a blue avatar on Atlas at this point is just shameful.  Even you anti-Trump Republican types who still have your blue avatars because you like lower taxes or something, that's like having a confederate flag and saying "oh yeah I didn't support the slavery or Jefferson Davis, I just liked the confederacy because of its better trade policy" or something else that's clearly not the point of the confederacy.

The Republican Party is Trump and Mitch doing the most deplorable things imaginable over and over and over and over again and shredding the fabric of our government and society in an endless pursuit of entrenched political power.  This is the entire point of the Republican Party.  It's not about lower taxes.  It's not about "fighting the SJWs" or whatever meaningless culture war justification you use because you decided to be a Republican after watching Ben Shapiro videos.  It's not about abortion, or Christian values, or anything that it stood for under the Reagan/Bush eras.

It's about acquiring power by any means necessary, and once you have that power, using it to entrench your current power and acquire even more power.  The power is the entire point.  There is no policy point.  Trump literally took the opposite position of Reagan/Bush on 70% of policy issues and the entire party just decided "ok this is what we believe now."

The Republican Party of Ronald Reagan is gone.  The Republican Party of George W. Bush is gone.  It's the Trump/Mitch party and if you don't support that, stop having a blue avatar and stop voting Republican.

This is false lol . Trump economic policies were literally supply side economics which yah is still the main point of the gop .

[Inmate Trump]

Not just that but they aren’t going to certify the 2024 election results unless a Republican wins.

[Green Line]

Its just the same old McConnell rule, he is being consistent.  When the Senate majority is of the opposite party as the Presidency and its an election season, wait until after the election.  These are the rules.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Retire, Breyer. Not just because you're old, but because you're the suckiest of the liberal-leaning justices.

[President Johnson]

This is nothing that anyone following US politics since 2016 could not have forseen. And same guy complains about nuking the filibuster ends bipartisanship?

I think the big takeaway from Cocaine Mitch's obstruction is that any president won't have a Supreme Court nominee confirmed unless his/her party controls the senate. The Democrats for certain will feel to retaliate with a Republican president and a Democratic senate. In the end, this will further weaken institutions and public confidence in a functioning government system. Mitch and his enablers are destructors of democracy and institutions. And it's quite pathetic to watch the leading Western nation to destruct itsself with so stupid and self-serving political actors.

Okay. We'll own up to it.

Also, if you're having a red avatar you are showing off your support for a party so demonic that supports no moral values, degeneracy, collectivism, murder of the unborn, war abroad/hawks, drugs, perverted society, tolerance for violence in the streets, revisionism of history, canceling and abuse of ordinary citizens, etc.

Throwing aside the fact it’s a made up rule that Mitch created to justify stealing 2 seats the fact he said he won’t even lost it be filled in 2023 shows he is not consistent

This is false lol . Trump economic policies were literally supply side economics which yah is still the main point of the gop .

First of all, Trump doesn't have a coherent economic ideology.  His statements during the 2016 campaign indicated that he had the economic understanding of a 3rd grader.  Remember his nonsense about "the real unemployment rate is 40, probably 50%"?  All he knows is "I'm a Republican so lower taxes = good."  He didn't espouse any economic policy at all during the 2020 campaign, just bragging about the low unemployment rate and the high stock market, neither of which had anything to do with him.  And when he was president, his main attempt to impact the economy was attacking his own Fed Chair for not keeping interest rates at 0%.

Second of all, Trump's protectionist tarrif/trade policy is the polar opposite of Ronald Reagan.  Reagan would have attacked Trump relentlessly for his self-destructive protectionist/isolationist trade policies.  So if you want to say Trump and Reagan are similar on economic policy then you have to define trade policy as not part of the economy.

But let's be generous and pretend that Trump's economic ideology/policies are the same as Reagan's.  Economic policy is only one small part of the ideology pie.  Nobody's saying that Trump was the opposite of Reagan on everything.  Reagan also tried to destroy the Clean Air Act and eliminate the EPA while issuing drilling leases to millions of acres of public lands.  So he and Trump also have that in common.  There are plenty of other positions where Trump and Reagan are completely different.  Immigration was Trump's signature issue and he was the exact opposite of Ronald Reagan.  Trump's foreign policy was based on isolationism and deference to Russia, which would have horrified Reagan.  Reagan was happy to skip around the laws when it suited him but he never would have stood for Trump's brazen lawlessness, his attacks on democracy and his attempt to become dictator-for-life.  After he left the presidency, Reagan famously contrasted himself with Pat Buchanan and Reaganworld was starkly opposed to Buchanan's fire-and-brimstone culture-war-driven message of division and hatred for the other half of America, which served as the precursor to Trump's "Crippled America" ideology.

But Republicans always retreat into their shell of "the economy is the only thing that matters" when they have to defend all the other atrocious things the Republican Party does and stands for.  This even though the economy did amazing under Clinton, Obama, and now Biden.

First off you don’t even personally own up to your own bets lol. Second you worship a president who banged a Porn Star shortly after his 3rd wife had given birth to their son so were exactly do you get off this with “degenerate behavior” but you’ve been doing?

This is all just a bunch of dumb s--t that Fox News and Breitbart talk about constantly but very few Democrats actually support and the party never does anything about.  This kind of post is what watching Fox News all day does to your brain.  You start to actually believe this kind of crap that's totally divorced from reality.

For instance, "no moral values, degeneracy, perverted society" this sounds like it describes Trump far more than it describes Joe Biden or the America he's creating.  Unless you're still trapped in the 80s and think to be moral you have to want the death penalty for homosexuality.

"Violence in the streets" is just Fox News fearmongering.  No Democrat supports this and Democratic leaders have spoken out against it time and time again.  So shut up.

"Cancel culture" is not part of the Democratic Party.  It's something that a few leftists on Twitter are into.  And Republicans do it just as much as Democrats.  Similarly no Democrat is out there "revising history."  Just a few idiot college professors who, again, have nothing to do with the Democratic Party.  Meanwhile in Republican states they literally teach kids that the confederates were the victims of the Civil War and the slaves were all happy to be slaves.

There are literally zero major wars abroad right now despite Trump's best efforts to start one with Iran.  Biden just ended the War in Afghanistan that the Republican Party started, this after Obama ended the War in Iraq that the Republican Party started.  But you probably didn't hear about that.


Did you get COVID yet?  I remember you were telling us all that COVID was a hoax and totally harmless and everything Fauci and the Democrats were saying about COVID was made up, and anyone who wore a mask was a brainwashed pussy, and you bragged about how you weren't going to follow any rules.  If you didn't get COVID and suffer mightily then there really is no justice in the universe.  I hope you didn't have the nerve to go and get a vaccine after all your bulls--t since you're probably the least deserving person in the world to get one.

As someone who has zero moral values, has been a degenerate all my life, is a staunch collectivist, performs 9th month abortions as a hobby, lobbies for more wars just so I can fight and show the ladies how much of a Rambo badass I am, shoots drugs like a champ, spies on your mother while she undresses each night, kicks a motherf#cker in the streets each night just for the fun of it, has personally rewritten high school textbooks to say that Antifa founded the United States, and cancels at least 20 people each day and is coming to an employer near you... these are all good things.

The "main point" of the GOP is culture war bs and false nostalgia. Only a sliver of Republican voters or politicians care about supply side economics.

[SWE]

McConnell's never been dishonest about this sort of thing. If Republicans took the Senate in 2022 and all of the SCOTUS members retired, we simply would not have a Supreme Court until either the presidency or Senate flipped

I'm going to skip all the other stuff because in 4-5 years your party will be touting all this with the way it has drastically shifted left the last decade, and you'll be right behind them like a loyal soldier :-).

Also, you parrot, I never said COVID was a hoax/harmless, I only cited research and statistics that pointed out that the way it was presented was more overblown than it was in reality (because of political reasons or maybe something else). And thank you for being concerned for my health ;-). No, I never got COVID, and yes, I ended up taking the vaccine after a while, but that was because of personal reasons (I won't get in to it), and even then I ended up doing strong consideration & if it weren't for those reasons, I wouldn't have taken it. Even now I am still sceptical about the vaccines, but I didn't take it for my own sake.

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

BTW, do any of the red avatars who told me that packing the court would be going to far want to explain how this is different and why a counter-move isn’t justified?

Oh, ok.  So you "did your own research", and being a much better scientist than Dr. Fauci or the 99.9% of scientists who agree with him, realized that the malignant virus that killed 500,000 Americans and more than 8,000,000 (and counting) people worldwide, causing the deadliest pandemic in a century and the 7th-deadliest in human history, "was more overblown that it really was presented."

Such a shame that you were never forcibly, painfully, humiliatingly proven wrong the same way your God was.

And then, after having spent a year arrogantly telling everyone in earshot that you knew "the truth", that the virus really wasn't a big deal and we were all pussies for listening to Fauci, and mocking all of us for being sheep who took the virus seriously, you jumped at the chance to get a vaccine, created by the scientists you degraded and attacked, to protect you from the virus you insisted was no big deal, made available to you because of Joe Biden's competent administration.

Such a shame that someone like you got the vaccine and not someone far more deserving, like a hamster or a fish.
