Politics has been a lot of rules for thee but not for me.
Has the conservative party which ever one it's named at the time ever been different than this maybe they've been not as out in the open or is forward about it, but this is the same party as Nixon. This is the same party as the Confederates they have always done what's good for them and it doesn't matter what anybody that they hurt in their way that has been the conservative way in this country since the beginning so I don't know how people keep thinking that the party has changed. The only difference is they're actually open about it
I just don't agree. Of course no political party has ever had perfect behavior. But, the world of Reagan, Bush, Dole, Colin Powell, Condaleza Rice and Trump world are just not the same.
Someone saw MTG somehow become a voice of reason before leaving and realized the title of most insane person in congress is now available.
Those people yes but all at the same time those others were in politics. And you act like Reagan was clean. There were numerous big scandals during his terms. Colin Powell was not the same. I'm not saying scandals don't happen under democrats either. But the scandals that tend to be anti democracy and trying to take rights away. That's been all conservative admins.
I’m not saying anyone is clean or that there have not been scandals. But calling what happened/how conservatives acted in the past the same as what is happening now simply downplays the unbelievable things occurring now. Iran-contra if it occurred today would barely last a news cycle if it made the news at all. And about $4 million dollars went to the Contras. The whole affair was $48 million which is around $148 million in todays dollars. Trump got UAE sheiks to spend $499 million on his crypto company in exchange for guarded AI chips right when he was getting inaugurated. Crickets. Barely registers as a controversy.
It isn’t the same ol’ thing. This is a sea change.
It's blatant now yes. But just because it's out in the open now doesn't mean that things like the watergate tapes, Iran contra, hell the there's rumors that republicans held up the Iranian hostage crisis until after the election(not saying it is true but it's more believable when you look at the things the party has done), Scalias position being held then RBG pushing it through quickly and anti civil rights. You seem to be concerned that it's out in the open. I'm saying they have always been the party of anti democracy and racism. And I'm meaning American conservatives as a whole. Not every one in the Conservative Party is bad. But a lot have been complicit.
