Interventionist trade policies and propping up select sectors of the economy with massive tax payer funded bailouts are right up Bernie’s alley.

I didn’t hear that level of acceptance during the Obama years. Only a lot pig squealing. 2016 was the reckoning when anyone making any sense was immediately bounced from the primary. The Dems are just having their reckoning a bit later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans put up a bunch of shit candidates and Trump won. Democrats put up an even worse candidate and he won. The only Republican that is going to go after spending is Rand Paul.

He abandoned it once he realized voters wanted WWE politics instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Judge got it right with Idiocracy, only he was a few hundred years too conservative about how soon we'd go full retard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump plays the patriotic correctness BS and warbles the evangelical right’s language. It satisfies that certain type of republican. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to hear good things about themselves and the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
