Re: Defining the 21st Century Republican Party?
To be clear…
I’m not talking about every poor sap that voted for Trump.
I’m speaking of the hard core deplorable base, and I am fairly certain they only love The Hate. They wouldn’t know what to make of or do with actual ‘grief’.

Utah schools could be required to tout "superior" U.S. capitalism
'Murica...FUCK YEAH!!Utah high schoolers would be required to learn about the "superiority" of American free markets under new guidelines the state school board is considering this week.
Driving the news: Teachers would have to "explain why free market systems are superior and have made America the most free and prosperous country in the world" under new standards proposed for financial literacy courses.
All students are required to take the class to graduate from public high schools in Utah.

I don't understand how people haven't picked up on the idea that hubris is a really bad pill to take daily.

They'll smell propaganda a mile away and be trading samizdat chapters of Howard Zinn before the semester is half over.

2 years ago she was pulled from all committee assignments. She's indicated 9/11 was a hoax, school shootings are staged and that there's a global cabal of Satan worshiping pedophiles in elected office.
Tonight she's Speaker Pro Tempore, selected by her peers.
This is the 21st Century Republican Party.

How quaint and tame “You lie!” being barely shouted at Obama during one of his addresses seems today. They even made an SNL skit about it
Wouldn’t even move the needle today.

Re: Defining the 21st Century Republican Party?
It indeed was quaint. The Republicans were absolutely disgraceful tonight. And I think Biden did a good job goading them into being the disgraceful bastards they are. I'm all for loyal opposition but they showed tonight that they are disloyal or probably more accurately disorderly opposition.
Edit: I'm really disgusted tonight. The Republicans at least outed themselves as the traitors they are. They couldn't clap for general appeals to democracy? Or support for Ukraine? I snorted out loud when he said the State of the Union is strong. It sounded way more like a British parliamentary session than a State of the Union address and more proof that we're seeing a drastic decline in governance and comity at the moment.
Edit 2: Then Sarah Huckabee Sander gives an absolutely deplorable speech. It was reminiscent of the American carnage speech to my ears and chock full of whopper lies. Ridiculous.

I was talking to a neighbor today and the conversation turned to a "strongly opinioned" friend of his that refused to come over for the Super Bowl party because he's still bitter about the flag kneeling thing from years ago.
It's really quite amazing how the right has cultivated hot topic social issues to froth up their base and distract them from the absolutely *terrible* policies they want to enact. And the absolutely terrible and unqualified candidates they're putting in office.

But having it does you no good if it's not funded. It looks like the Repugnicans want to force a crisis on it every year. Not the best hill to die on.

They support the American ideals that they feel were betrayed in the 1960s and 70s.

Re: Defining the 21st Century Republican Party?
Whatever else this thread has shown defines the 21st Century GOP, we need to ALWAYS remember teh stupidity:
Tho tech stupidity amongst legislators is not limited to the GOP, the willing and able-ness to use that to go straight to a conspiracy theory certainly is these days.But, one of the craziest bits of the hearing came from new Congressional Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who worked for Turning Point USA and PragerU before being elected. Her five minutes has garnered some extra attention for being even crazier than either Reps. Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene, both of whom had pretty crazy rants.
In particular, Rep. Luna (who has been facing some interesting news reporting of late) made some claims about there being a conspiracy between Twitter and the government to communicate via “the private cloud server”… Jira....
...Of course, as anyone with even the slightest bit of understanding about, well, anything, would tell you, it’s that Jira is an issue and project tracking software, normally used for things like bug tracking. Luna claimed this was a violation of the 1st Amendment, because she apparently hasn’t the slightest clue how the 1st Amendment actually works.
From the transcript (helpfully provided by Tech Policy Press, though we’ve corrected it based on the video), you can see former Twitter exec Yoel Roth’s confusion over all this. For anyone who understands this, you can recognize Roth’s confusion because he recognizes that she’s completely misconstruing Jira and what it does. But, to Rep. Luna, she seems to think she’s caught Roth out in a giant conspiracy.

And they put her in office... Who is it we are trying to take the vote away from again? How many of these complete idiots have are in office making laws? It's not exactly an anomaly.

Re: Defining the 21st Century Republican Party?
Encapsulates the MI GOP pretty well. They been embarrassingly horrible for getting on 15 years or more. And yet they still control a gerrymandered legislature and get the governorship half the time.What an embarrassment.

Weiser and Cox before her were also objectively horrible people and endorse election fraud as long as it's in support of the GOP.
