Is MAGA capable of responding to a moment like this?

In the spring of 1954, McCarthy picked a fight with the U.S. Army, charging lax security at a top-secret army facility. The army responded that the senator had sought preferential treatment for a recently drafted subcommittee aide. Amidst this controversy, McCarthy temporarily stepped down as chairman for the duration of the three-month nationally televised spectacle known to history as the Army-McCarthy hearings.

The army hired Boston lawyer Joseph Welch to make its case. At a session on June 9, 1954, McCarthy charged that one of Welch's attorneys had ties to a Communist organization. As an amazed television audience looked on, Welch responded with the immortal lines that ultimately ended McCarthy's career: "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness." When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch angrily interrupted, "Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

Overnight, McCarthy's immense national popularity evaporated.
Censured by his Senate colleagues, ostracized by his party, and ignored by the press, McCarthy died three years later, 48 years old and a broken man.


Not to say trump's national popularity is immense. Far from it. But it is within MAGA. As if it is oblivious to what is happening around us.
USAID cuts have caused more than 330,000 deaths worldwide, BU professor estimates

There will be no nationally televised events during which trump will be required to defend decisions resulting in the deaths of thousands of human beings. No pointed questions about sending immigrants off to a foreign gulag to be tortured after denying them their constitutional rights. No poignant moments questioning his decency. The nation could really use a moment like that. Frankly, today, I don't think it's possible.

BTW, I was reminded of Joseph Welch's moment of moral clarity while watching this excellent Netflix special, which is worth watching.

Can the BU prof list any names of anyone that died?
 
And there's the christian viewpoint. "let them starve".
Here’s a link to a number of Christian charities that feed the poor, feel free to donate your time or money


My guess is you won’t, because your a dem, and study after study has shown you all to be selfish

Tragically, Joe McCarthy woefully underestimated the extent to which the democrat Party and Administration was already subservient to Moscow
 
I had a feeling you'd say something like that.

"The nation could really use a moment like that. Frankly, today, I don't think it's possible."
Take a hike. It is a travesty that the Democratic Party has lost its way. As they move to Progressive Socialism and then to Communism we see the writing on the wall. When you revolutionaries get what you want you will tilt the Western Hemisphere nations into a major conflagration with each other. Our nation has given many nations money, resources, equipment and supplies. And many of the nation's just wasted it. We over many decades even forgave their debts on loans to them.
 
The ramifications of the US withdrawing foreign aid are not appreciated by MAGA or a blithering idiot like trump. I listened to people who participated in USAID from prior Repub admins speak of how it was essential to the US's standing in parts of the world in need of assistance. Dotard's approach is both ignorant and short sighted.

Human beings will die of AIDS so the one percenters can afford a larger wine cellar.
People's politics are largely shaped by where they think they are, not where they actually are in life. The GOP has gotten good at convincing people they are are victims and the government/democrats/foreigners are their victimizers. The DNC can learn from this and turn it around on them or they can continue to try to peddle white privilege. In the mean time, yes people will die. It isn't exclusively because the GOP won as it is also because the DNC failed them too. Whether it is larger wine cellers or commercial freezers full of ice cream in their mansions, the leadership of both parties is wanting.

Better to spend close to $1B refurbishing a luxury jet for Dotard than create goodwill in needy areas of the world by saving lives? Have you no sense of decency?
Or logic…

Traditionally, that is an essential step in the march towards authoritarian governance.
 
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at all the America Firsters in this thread slamming the trade system America designed and benefited from, which gave America the largest gdp.

Is it possible to get more raving loony?

Got a dead guy,'s name yet?
 
And there's the christian viewpoint. "let them starve".
What does a God-less, soul-less Leftist know about Christianity?

After all... we have "Separation of Church and State" in the US, correct?

As you Leftists so frequently love to quote when it suits your purposes.

------

It's not a matter of letting them starve.

It's a matter of taking care of our own, and letting somebody else carry the load for the less fortunate for a while.

We can't come to the rescue forever... at some point there has to be an end to it... at least an "intermission" to rest up...

Consider this a multi-year "intermission" in which others can step-up to fill the void... consider it "load-sharing"...

They couldn't care less.

If they feel challenged by it in the least, they just call it fake news.

Their politics trump (pun intended) any sense of decency, morality or their "religion".
