pretty plutocratic agenda at the policy level. In other words: Owning the libs offers bread and circuses for the pro-Trump right while Republicans quietly pursue a traditional program of deregulation and tax cuts at the policy level."
I couldn't agree more...my only question is whether the move in this direction is fueled by pure greed, or a 'Malthusian/Darwinian' belief that only the strongest (i.e. wealthiest) should be served.
Any thoughts on this issue of "Plutocracy"?
the foreseeable result is investment in the economy and business, not share buy backs.
These are all matters of degree and debate if there is any degree of reasonableness in the system.
What I fear is the National Populism demagoguery that now passes for orthodoxy in our party. At best it pays lip service to traditional conservative principles. It’s quite a dangerous thing, and those in the party who think they can ride the tiger while pursuing plutocracy are sadly mistaken.
memes are one sided.

You are the R party 2021. Sad.
are jokes. They are as hypocritical as the other side but are protected by the MSM. We had 4 years of over reporting on everything and bullshit, made up stories. 4 years of pandering to radical bullshit just to be on the opposite side of Trump. Now you everything to be forgiven and for it to go back to normal. It just doesn't work like that. You may think it's childish but there are scores to settle. You know, like you posting Trump had mini strokes in retaliation to us bashing Biden's health.
My issue is that you don’t see the type of knee jerk, cult like defense of Biden by his supporters like you cultists did for the dear leader. Even when there is a constant drumbeat on him.
Like no one expected that the far right wouldn’t be doing this? And some of it like the border is deserved. Rest of it is politics and he’s an old guy. Entirely to have been anticipated and humorous in some ways given the past behavior of those in the forefront.
A constant barrage of alleged lies and misdeeds from a media now actively hiding and protecting the new administration.
And secondly a general agreement with the new administration policies by posters here. They're no longer cages remember...they're long term care facilities for underage asylum seekers.
So he's an asshole but he's our asshole sentiment now prevails among some Open contributors.
are being picked up, especially about the border. They certainly are here.
That’s fine and prolly beneficial as it keeps the feet to the fire, despite the pathos of it. Nothing to whine about as the cult did constantly for 4 years. Such a bunch of babies.
Now trying to dish it out. Pretty funny. Biden will either succeed or not succeed based on his legislative abilities and his luck. Media won’t have anything to do with it.
And the right wing media, such as it is, is massively overwhelmed by those on the left. They are not whining because it's fed to them differently...so no need to complain. That's the difference you're seeing I believe. Biden will not fail. Because nothing he does will be reported as failure. On this I suppose we shall agree to disagree.
They get their message out there quite well, thank you.

But their silence on major issues says otherwise.
