You need cops to keep the unwashed in line when you outsource their jobs overseas. You need cops to keep the minorities in line when you don't deliver on your promises of representation and equal rights for 60 years. You need cops when the disaffected show up on your doorstep and demand that you do the job you promised you'd do.

What else are they going to do than shovel money at cops? Let progressive social movements succeed? They have their priorities.

I remember Michael Steele recounting about during his Lt. Governor run in MD they were throwing Oreo cookies at him. https://nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2005/11/23/michael-steele-oreo-incident-eyewitness-report/

maffew buildings posted:I'm so loving confused why the Democratic party loves cops so much when it literally gains them nothing. We need reform so goddamn bad. What the gently caress they didn't even try and open the door Jesus Christ The Democratic Party loves cops because America loves cops. Support for defunding is piss poor. Support for other reforms are much higher, and a reform bill passed the House, but of course it doesn't matter since the Republicans are uniformly in opposition and it would take every single Democrat to both break the filibuster and pass the reform bill.

The amorphous polish of abolish police/defund police/reroute police probably animates votes under unified interest for Republicans who can claim to be fighting back against all three, but any Democrat who picks one of the above flavors of the platforms has betrayed the other two. Edit: It may appear to be in the best interest for a candidate to not bring it up if there's any risk to their seat otherwise their other progressive policies will be risked. Recent polling that I could find. piL fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Jun 19, 2022 |

I would love to see Texas secede, but maybe only after an all-expenses paid get-the-gently caress-out-of-texas-and-into-somewhere-less-lovely package to all of the decent people stuck in that shithole.

A reminder that liberal does not mean left. Liberal refers to liberal economics, ie free market economics. Liberals are capitalists first - they just tend to hate minorities less than conservatives.

Which ends up being an academic at best and functionally worthless in practice difference. Upgrading from active hatred to solid indifference in the face of murderous social dynamics is pretty cold comfort to those on the receiving end of a purge.

It kills me how many people refuse to take these assholes at their word. This isn't bluster. This isn't posturing. They are writing out their plans for everyone to see. If you are not a straight Christian conservative white male (or a white Christian woman being a helpmate to one) they are loving coming for you. Theres more of us than there are of them, but we need to be prepared for what's coming.

mlmp08 posted:Example whatever of “just be polite to conservatives so they like you” being bullshit. When I lived in TX (up through 2011) the GOP state platform was still calling Homosexual relationships and marriage "an abomination". Afaik they softened on that a bit but looks like going back to extremism is playing up for the base. Gotta get them up to speed bleeding out some smaller local groups of undesirables before spinning up towards larger purges of "illegals".

From their Twitter, it looks like they’re trying hard to throw trans folks under the bus to show that they’re the good ones. It’s not going to work, that kind of poo poo never works, but it shows exactly what their morals and commitment to inclusivity really means. gently caress em. They deserve whatever comes next.* *im not sure I actually mean that because I think it’s not very long until it’s physically unsafe for them to be at a GOP convention, and while these guys are shitheads I can’t actually feel okay with hate crimes.

It's not as if anyone is forcing people in the LGBT+ community to support the republican party against their will.

As much as I love the idea of them tearing themselves to pieces, it inevitably ends up with the shredded bits spiraling further into the vortex and coalescing into something even worse. Cruz is a marshmallow, he will simply debase himself further in order to stay in office.

Ted Cruz is the right wing version who Clinton wishes she was, despite negative l charisma the dude has effortlessly absorbed a surprisingly high combination of support from both the rights radical activists and the big money donors by virtue of just being completely soulless follower of his parties trends.

Even among conservatives I know here in Texas, few will admit to liking Ted Cruz. Yet he continues to be re-elected. If there's anything he's good at, it's playing to the lunatic fringe in ways that make him look just grown-up enough that the suburbs will continue voting straight-ticket R.
