Democrats got too radical during the Trump era

[YoursTruly]

I understand what you are saying. The issue is do the moderates believe it?

I'm sure they do. Otherwise they would've stood up for the 1A for everyone. Not just the radical progressives who only supported their 1A right.

Moderates only supported the radical progressives when they were forced to. And it was never with much enthusiasm.

November will be about the economy, not anything else. It is always the economy. Give America $2 a gallon gas and the Democrats will win in November. Extreme politics won’t matter in 99% of the races.

If gas is cheaper by November, then it'll be about the radical progressive's agenda. But with $5 gas, it's gotta be about the economy.

The left was losing votes before the economy got this bad.

I respectfully disagree about this transition before the economy worsened. Inflation was at 4.99% in May of last year and has been increasing since then. It is the economy that will sink the Democrats and nothing else.

4.99% is a bogus number. Inflation has increased over 3000% since 1913. Those inflation numbers they give out are as false as the unemployment numbers.
The only reason something like a dozen eggs aren't $500, is from automation and other job killing technology that makes things more efficient.

Did Trump Republicans get radical?

This is the kind of representation uninformed, education deprived Trump Republicans want.

CNN reports, "Newly elected Republican Congresswoman Mayra Flores spread conspiracies on social media that the January 6 riot at the US Capitol was caused by members of the far-left group Antifa and repeatedly used a hashtag of the QAnon conspiracy theory in tweets that have since been removed.

"Flores won the special election for Texas’ 34th Congressional District last week, giving Republicans an additional seat in the House of Representatives. She beat a field of four other candidates – two Republicans and two Democrats.

"Before running for office, Flores was a local Republican activist who tweeted under the handle “LaRepublicana86,” where she spread false claims about election fraud and immediately began suggesting on January 6, 2021, that the Capitol riot was caused by Antifa and “infiltrators.”

"The Republican Party of Texas adopted a resolution at its state convention that rejects President Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election, further aligning the state party establishment with former President Donald Trump in pushing false election claims."

“We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States,” reads the resolution.

The Hill reports, "The Jan. 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol revealed Thursday that at least a half-dozen Republican lawmakers asked for presidential pardons for their role in voting to overturn election results in certain states on Jan. 6, 2021, according to testimony from former Trump aides.

"Testimony from Trump aides named Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) Mo Brooks (Ala.) Louie Gohmert (Texas), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), and Scott Perry (PA.) as seeking pardons."

Trump Republicans are the same people who want to control Congress after the November mid-terms.

Trump appointed three judges to continue his legacy.

Because of its enormous unpopularity, the conservative Supreme Court has walled itself off from the American people.

And for good reason. It is extremely likely the Court will decide that the government will control a woman's pregnancy, a decision that runs counter to the majority of Americans. The Court doesn't seem to care. What matters to the Court is its religious view on pregnancies.

CNN explains, "Under normal circumstances on decision days at the end of June, the Supreme Court emerges from behind crimson curtains to finally issue the most controversial cases of the term after months of closed-door deliberations. Wearing their judicial robe and exhausted from the final push of work, the justices take their seats and the majority opinion is read by its author."

None of that will happen this month.

CNN continued, "Instead, the courtroom’s majestic chamber is dark – ostensibly due to lingering Covid concerns. The plaza has been completely walled off by security fences, a move prompted by protests that erupted last month after a draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to the media.

"Now, armed guards are providing 24-hour protection at the justices’ homes while protestors sometimes gather outside and the President has signed legislation to enhance security protection for the justices and their families."

Then we have this fateful decision. In the face of countless shooting massacres in our country where children are the targets in many cases the court has returned us to the Middle Ages where guns are concerned.

ABC reports, "The Supreme Court ruling Thursday striking down a New York state law limiting the right to carry a concealed handgun in public is sparking a furor from Albany to Washington as gun safety activists and Democrats warn the ruling will lead to more guns, and more violence.

"The high court's ruling struck down the century-old law mandating that gun owners demonstrate "proper cause" to carry a concealed handgun outside of their homes.

"The 6-3 opinion was authored by Justice Clarence Thomas for the conservative majority with the three liberal justices dissenting.

"Republicans and gun rights groups, for their part, hailed the ruling, casting it as a needed protection of the Second Amendment.

Similar laws in several other states are now in jeopardy because of the Court's decision.

Republicans are rejoicing!

Did Trump Republicans get radical?

Yes, Many years ago when the lobbyist took over DC and our state capitals. And when the GOP outlawed fiscal conservatism.

I’m not arguing whether it is bogus or not, however it is the number American voters look at and inflation and the economy will make or break elections. Social issues do not sway elections as much as the economy. That is my point.

Never claimed to be tough, I recognize batshit crazy when I see it though.

I'm sure you can, you're highly experienced in batshit crazy. This is the thread for you, racist! You do admit you're a girly man though, I'll give you that
