Kind of like dealing with Putin - compromise is interpreted as weakness. The right-to-lifers are not going to vote Democratic for spite. But if they don't get their way, they might stay home, or vote for really fringey primary or third-party candidates with no chance in the general election, handing swing districts to Democrats. And like the psychopath fanatics they're becoming, instead of changing course, GOP has doubled down on its losing strategy. #PS1minority ===== impact 12 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-04-07 ratio 10 react 1 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 title The fundamental dilemma of minority rule topic minority wordrate 0 words 115 epoch Lifetime ID 1909326456078531 impress 11 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "04/07/2023 21:04" rcs 1 reach 10 sharesimpress 1 title The fundamental dilemma of minority rule type Links URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1909326456078531 ========== Abolish the existing Federal government and replace it with political appointees who promise to protect minority rule! To heck with Constitution, Congress, laws, and norms! The president makes the decisions. Just like DeSantis in Florida, Huey Long in Louisiana, and other examples abro Trump hates to be bothered by the petty details of governing and negotiating with Congress, so he'll be glad to delegate all that to his Heritage henchmen. https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-conservatives-trump-heritage-857eb794e505f1c6710eb03fd5b58981 #PS1minority ===== comments 1 impact 21 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-08-28 ratio 2 react 3 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title Abolish the existing Federal government and replace it with topic minority wordrate 0 words 71 audclicks 1 commentsimpress 1 epoch Lifetime ID 684112433763368 impress 12 matchedlinkclicks 1 pageid 100064938510484 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "08/28/2023 22:08" rcs 5 reach 8 reactions 3 sharesimpress 1 title Abolish the existing Federal government and replace it with political type Links URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/684112433763368 ========== Are you confused about the cause of the Civil W Alexander Stephens wasn't - its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/cornerstone-speech The interesting question of that day - echoed since time immemorial right down to today - is how did the ruling class get the masses to fight on behalf of the ruling class, against the masses' own interests? A rich man's war, a poor man's fight By dividing the masses and pitting them against each other - as reflected in our own culture wars. #PS1minority ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-07-26 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Are you confused about the cause of the Civil W topic minority wordrate 0 words 109 epoch Lifetime ID 665955225579089 impress 12 pageid 100064938510484 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "07/26/2023 07:07" reach 10 title Are you confused about the cause of the Civil W type Links URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/665955225579089 ========== Why can't we just agree on taking care of children and famili https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/16/political-polarization-solution-ej-dionne It's easy - as long as no money is involved. The hard-working overtaxed job-creator megadonors - who pay for GOP politics and a lot of Democratic politics - are firmly opposed to any plan to tax them to support shiftless irresponsible lazy poor people. After all, the megadonors' children are well cared for. So hard-bargained bipartisan proposals end up going nowhere. Of course they usually don't SAY this, at least not in public. Tough love sounds bad - a lot like stinginess. this poor widow has put in more than all Nothing has changed in 2000 years. And nothing much WILL change as long as politics runs on unlimited dark money - masquerading as free speech, thanks to a judiciary groomed to be compliant. #PS1minority ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-07-19 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Why can't we just agree on taking care of children and topic minority wordrate 0 words 137 epoch Lifetime ID 662530642588214 impress 13 pageid 100064938510484 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "07/19/2023 13:07" reach 9 title Why can't we just agree on taking care of children and famili type Links URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/662530642588214 ========== Who needs the Hatch A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatch_Act Independent civil service?

That works because the reactionary wings of Catholicism and evangelical Protestantism have coalesced politically if not theologically to support minority rule - showing once again how theology conforms to politics, not vice versa. No man can server two masters! A joke from 1960 - I wouldn't want an American pope. He'd have to take orders from the president. #PS1minority ===== comments 1 impact 47 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-06-09 ratio 3 react 4 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title There's a long history of anti-Catholicism in Americ topic minority wordrate 0 words 118 audclicks 2 commentsimpress 1 epoch Lifetime ID 639390058235606 impress 14 matchedotherclicks 2 pageid 100064938510484 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "06/09/2023 08:06" rcs 2 reach 12 sharesimpress 1 title There's a long history of anti-Catholicism in Americ type Links URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/639390058235606
