  • The same people who were convinced Mexico would pay for the wall. At least until it became undeniable that we were paying for it, at which point they instead claimed that they always believed we’d be the ones to pay, and that it was a necessary sacrifice. The same thing they’re starting to do for this.

    That’s the thing - his supporters have no idea what’s going on, but they don’t want to lose face by admitting it, so they’re constantly just pretending that whatever is happening is part of the plan, and make up whatever reasoning they have to in order to justify it. We’re a country of naked emperors pretending we’re wearing clothes.




  • Everyone already knows all the republicans supported it; anything under their jurisdiction is already a lost cause. What I want to know is how many people from the “left” party can’t even keep their own votes on the right side of history. It’s not news when villains are villains - it’s news when the people who say they’re here to fight back against the villains are caught supporting them, and it’s important not to drown out that important detail among a bunch of already-known regressives. People need to see that the current democratic party isn’t a viable defense against conservativism, and that we need to do something more to get things moving in the right direction again than simply trusting democrats to fix everything.
