Seeing a disturbing trend here today

55. The repubs will continue to blame their failures on the dems, this much is certain

Repubs found that they were having way too much fun at their little tea party to have ever cooperated in any way...particularly when they figured out they could get re-elected simply by monkey-wrenching the entire governmental process, painting dems as the party of totalitarian control, and themselves as the champions of the poor working slob. The only part of this at all surprising to me is that vulnerable repubs felt threatened enough to vote no on Trump's death care bill. It dems can find a way to exploit this then they may be able to achieve some minor sucesses this term, but the old model of running government in this country is dead. I hate to say it, but if dems do not find an effective way to combat the Orwellian rat-f*ckery being commonly practiced by repubs and corporate-run media (and the Russians!), then things will get much worse. Part of any attempt to move forward has to be a boycott of media outlets that propogate the slime. If you're watching cable news, you're part of the problem. The only thing that will get their attention is taking away their revenue. Any engagement with rat-f*ckers or deluded flat-earthers that does not first firmly establish goal-posts grounded in reality is a failure and only advances their agenda.
