Just in the last decade, the Party doesn’t produce anything, put forth ideas except tax breaks, and only blocks federal government where it can.

Its biggest achievement was to destroy freedom for half the country: Roe. Fine, it’s always been for that because religion.

But what are they campaigning on now? THE SAME SHIT.

Nothing. Their most ardent supporters are counties with the biggest rates of obesity, opioids, crime and lack of jobs. Despite their rhetoric, Republicans never fix any of this.

Hitler at least gave Germans jobs, a reason for them to look the other way during the Holocaust. Why do Republicans have such strong support? Is it that half of Americans are that sadistic against the other half?

Theyre only agenda seems to be to screw libtards.

Republicans Are Suddenly Afraid of Democracy

“We’re not a democracy,” Republican Senator Mike Lee tweeted in the middle of Wednesday night’s vice-presidential debate. He was reacting to something he’d heard onstage there, in his home state of Utah. Another tweet: “The word ‘democracy’ appears nowhere in the Constitution, perhaps because our form of government is not a democracy. It’s a constitutional republic. To me it matters. It should matter to anyone who worries about the excessive accumulation of power in the hands of the few.” Hours after the debate Lee was still worrying the thought: “Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity [sic] are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.”

Why did Lee choose this moment—less than four weeks before an election in which his party seems likely to suffer defeat—to make the familiar, even pedantic, point that we live in a republic rather than a pure democracy? Why did he insist on the point so vehemently that he neglected to mention that power in the American system ultimately lies with the people, which means that our system could also be called a representative democracy? Did he mean rank as in “foul,” “rancid,” or “outright”? If the last, does that mean the tyranny of the majority leading to perverse rule by “the few”? What did this short, misleading course in Civics 101 have to do with anything?

My guess is that Lee wasn’t just being pedantic. Worried about an election in which the people can express their will, Lee was laying the groundwork to contest the results or block an elected majority from governing.

Controversial Televangelist Pat Robertson Dies At 93

Pat Robertson, a popular televangelist and founder of The Christian Broadcasting Network, died Thursday at age 93.

Robertson was a prominent figure in conservative Christian political and entertainment circles, and for years promoted sexist, homophobic and Islamophobic ideas on his CBN show, “The 700 Club.”

His death was announced by his broadcasting network. No cause was given.
A former Southern Baptist minister and son of a U. S. senator, Robertson founded CBN in 1960 as the first television network dedicated to Christian broadcasting in the U. S. CBN is one of the largest television ministries in the world, according to Robertson’s website, producing programming in 200 countries and 70 different languages.
“The 700 Club,” which CBN is perhaps best known for, started in 1966 and is one of the longest-running religious television shows. Robertson began hosting the show in 1972 and retired from the show in 2021 at the age of 91.

Robertson founded several other organizations and corporations, including International Family Entertainment Inc., Regent University, Operation Blessing International Relief and Development Corp., American Center for Law and Justice, and The Flying Hospital Inc.

The majority of his endeavors aimed to promote conservative Christian values in U. S. education, media and law. The ACLJ, Robertson’s website boasts, “focuses on pro-family, pro-liberty and pro-life cases nationwide.”
Robertson’s upbringing played a large role in his development as a conservative and a Christian. His father, Absalom Willis Robertson, was a Democratic U. S. senator from Virginia in the years before the liberalizing trend that took place in that party during the middle 20th century.
