BitcoinRockefeller posted:I remember the heady days of late 2008 when people, including myself, thought the republicans were on their way to being a rump southern region party. Amazing how bad the democrat party is to completely reverse that trend in barely more then a decade. I feel like an important life lesson I've learned is that whenever folks are seriously talking about how the republican party is finished for good it actually means they're about to take control. Been true longer than I've been alive.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:I guess they're already the underdogs but is there like a legal way to make a bet they'll lose and what are the current odds looking like? Predict It, and the betting odds there are overwhelmingly favoring republicans right now unless you wanna bet that the dems will keep the house while losing the senate (truly wild bet to make imo) in which case you'd get a huge return if something that wildly stupid happens.

Ytlaya posted:While it's true the Democrats are going to get destroyed, anecdotes like this kind of confuse me. My own anecdotal experience is that liberals (in the sense of people who strongly identify as liberals/Democrats) are completely unwilling to speak negatively about Democrats (and particularly the President) because they perceive it as, in some way, being soft on Republicans (or, even worse, Trump!). My own anecdotal experience with liberal family members and acquaintances is that they focus on hating Manchin and Sinema for blocking Biden's agenda. Can't quite convince them that it'd be happening no matter how many dem senators were elected, though!

In Training posted:if you wanna read 1500 pages answering this question I would recommend the Rick perlstein books on Barry Goldwater Nixon and Reagan . They own They're so good and there's a lot of chilling things in them. The part I'm always gonna remember is how when the Kent State Massacre happened, some insanely low amount of people (like 10%?) blamed the national guard for the killings. More people wanted the national guard to straight up open fire and mow down every student on campus than there were people who felt the national guard were to blame.

In Training posted:The Goldwater campaign being so Trumpy was pretty remarkable to me too, all the conservative kitsch branding coupled with Barry just saying absolutely insane things whenever national media gave him a mic, like we should nuke Vietnam so all the trees die and the Vietcong cant hide anymore. Some things never change Yea. And stuff like how the Reagan book brings up conservatives shouting about how movies and tv are pushing a gay and/or pornographic agenda. Really shows how often this poo poo repeats itself!

Literally burning money. That said there was some redistricting so maybe they're pinning their hopes on that changing the outcome but man just like boosting Trump in 2016 it's extremely dumb.

They haven't done nothing, not only did they fundraise record amounts of money but they had fundraising emails ready to go within minutes of the decision. I can only conclude that you love misinformation.
