No, it's impossible to believe that someone who supports every liberal position, uses every liberal talking point, believes every ridiculous liberal stereotype and has no idea to present an argument that would convince anyone but the most shallow left wing Democrat of anything that they used to be anything but what they are.
Here's the problem. The thing is, most positions, the Republicans turned out to be DEAD WRONG on.
I figured this out when I found myself in 2008, fired because I had run up too many medical bills, with an underwater mortgage and a busted 401K. I am STILL digging my way out of that mess. That's why I don't support Republican positions.
Ah, got it. YOU got sick, YOU made a poor housing decision and YOUR 401k took a hit when the market tanked so YOU suddenly found yourself in agreement with the leftist POV. That says waaay more about YOUR lack of character than it does about American econo-politics.
No, it just says that I can make a value judgement.
The GOP notion is that if deregulate industries and investments, give huge tax cuts to rich people, and sign bad trade treaties that let our good manufacturing jobs go overseas.
Now, yeah, if I were one of these clowns who bought a McMansion that I couldn't afford in the hope of flipping it 2 years later, I would have made a poor housing decision. Nope. I b ought a sensible condo. And the market still tanked.
In fact, the GOP has been wrong about everything. Letting greed guide you economy leads to bad results, because when 1% controls 43% of the wealth and they STILL don't think they have enough, it's leaving the fox in charge of the henhouse.
