AlextheChick: Do You Realize That The Left Has Denied the Legitimacy of Every Single Republican President Since the Elder Bush in 1988?
But remember -- it's a crime to question the legitimacy of Joe Biden, and the FBI will bash down your door and seize your phones and computers if you do.
alexandriabrown
@alexthechick 1988 was 34 years ago. This is not my usual both 2000 and 1980 where 20 years ago whittering (though I am correct about that), this is a discussion about age and the Eternal Now and how the simple passage of time affects political analysis.
I am going to use 18 as a baseline age here because that is US voting age. For anyone 52 years and younger, 1988 was the first Presidential election in which they could vote. That was when GHWB was elected President. You have to be 60 now to have voted for Reagan in 1980 GHWB is the last Republican President to be elected without Democrats claiming his election was illegitimate. 2000 was 22 years ago. For anyone 40 and younger, every Republican President since they were eligible to vote has been considered illegitimate by both Dems and the press. For those of us upper end Gen X and older, it is difficult to internalize that Bill Clinton being President is as remote to Millennials and younger as, say, Nixon being President is to upper end Gen X. Sure, it happened but that's history. Ancient history. 2008 is 14 years ago. You would have to be at least 32 and then 28 to have voted for Obama. For younger Millennials and upper end Gen Z, that's the President when they were kids and they maybe sorta remember that being a big thing. 2016 is six years ago. You have to be at least 24 to have voted for Trump. The point of going through this chronology is to stress, as many others, that for the last 22 years, every Republican President has been considered illegitimate by large swathes of the press and public. If you are under 40, you grew up in a world in which a Republican being President was deemed per se illegitimate. You grew up in a world where what those illegitimate Presidents did was per se illegitimate. It is the air you breathed and the water you drank. This is what you know This is simply the truth. Bush was installed by the Supreme Court and then did *handwave* something wrong to be re-elected, after all, he shouldn't have been President in the first place. Republicans play a game with the Electoral College, which is anti-democratic, to win. Every Republican President is wrong and everything they do is wrong, and Trump let Russians change votes to make him President so what he did was extra super wrong. Since everything they did is wrong, then every action they took is wrong and SCOTUS is illegitimate. It's logic. It is irrelevant whether this is true. It is what two generations of people have been told. People believe this because why would those people who are the experts in politics say this if it wasn't true? That's what they are paid to do, that's what they know, they wouldn't lie. I comprehend the urge to eyeroll when the wailing starts about how SCOTUS is illegitimate because the justices were appointed by Presidents who did not win the popular vote and thus are illegitimate. It is eyeroll worthy. However. Enormous numbers of people who vote believe this. Many a pixel has been slain, and that's just by me, decrying the total lack of knowledge of how the American electoral system works. Many more have been slain noting how destructive this is to public discourse. I am here to tell you that it will only get worse. Another part of my internet life is very Left indeed. I keep my mouth shut over there because that's where I go to try to escape politics. I am here to tell you that the Kids These Days do not understand what Dobbs did. They believe, utterly, that abortion was just banned. They believe that Republicans are an existential threat to democracy and that Republicans should be banned from all manner of things, practicing medicine, practicing law, going to college at all, holding jobs, partaking in society at large. Because Republicans are evil and cheat. A very few people there know that I have a JD and I was asked privately to explain what Dobbs meant. When I told those people that Dobbs meant states decided abortion laws and that CA and NY now have some of the most permissive laws in the world, I was met with shock. Why? Because all the news sources they consume told them otherwise. I was accused of lying. I was accused of making it up. And when they went and checked and found out I was correct, the utter cognitive dissonance was painful to behold. Because these sources they trust lied. The response was not to question worldview and whether those sources were lying to them about other matters. The response was ego defense. Okay well this is wrong but TX banned and that's what the rest of the country will do and they weren't lying, they were just upset! That is the mental barrier with which messaging that's not fully of the Left, let alone being of the Right, is up against. Two generations of being told that Republicans are evil cheaters who aren't a legitimate political party. Two generations of no civics education, not really. People don't like to question priors because doing so means admitting you did not interpret the world correctly and the ego will defend against that. It's been +/- 18 years since I've had to admit my view of Middle Eastern geopolitics was absolutely wrong. I'm still bitter. We discuss Othering and that is also a problem. But there are two generations of Americans for whom a baseline worldview is that if the Republicans win, that can be ignored because it's not legitimate. And that I don't see changing. It's only going to get uglier from here. /fin

Despite some overwrought prose, Rand could really nail some of the commie bullshit.
And this about the press:
"The reporters who came to the press conference in the office of the John Galt Line were young men who had been trained to think that their job consisted of concealing from the world the nature of it's events. It was their daily duty to serve as audience for some public figure who made utterances about the public good, in phrases carefully chosen to convey no meaning."

So here's the thing, I think the same thing about Democrat office holders because it's easy to observe.
I'm not going to forget staying up to watch election returns only to have 7 states stop the count and tell us to go to bed, only to admit in the morning that they had counted all night, without adversarial observers, and what do you know, but Biden is ahead by just enough in each of them to avoid triggering automatic recounts. And no one is allowed to audit any of it.
In my own shitty state of Illinois, we led the nation for a decade in people fleeing the state, yet when Pritzker ran in 2018, 400,000 more votes were cast in Chicago than any election in the previous decade and a half, and all went to him.

Nonsense. Pence and Romney are part of the club.
Did anyone ever identify the man who gave Pence the challenge coin immediately after he removed Trump from office, BTW? Arguably the most secure building in the world, and that unknown man walked right up and paid Pence for services rendered.

1/ I sometimes ask students what their position on slavery would have been had they been white and living in the South before abolition. Guess what? They all would have been abolitionists! They all would have bravely spoken out against slavery, and worked tirelessly against it.
2/ Of course, this is nonsense. Only the tiniest fraction of them, or of any of us, would have spoken up against slavery or lifted a finger to free the slaves. Most of them—and us—would have gone along. Many would have supported the slave system and happily benefited from it.
3/ So I respond by saying that I will credit their claims if they can show evidence of the following: that in leading their lives today they have stood up for the rights of unpopular victims of injustice whose very humanity is denied, and where they have done so knowing:

5/ (5) that they would risk being denied valuable professional opportunities as a result of their moral witness. In short, my challenge is to show where they have at risk to themselves and their futures stood up for a cause that is unpopular in elite sectors of our culture today.

The second step is to understand that most of our understanding of the world was shaped by 24/7 'news' channels and the internet.
The third step is to understand that we were, for the most part, spoiled children enjoying the benefits of the 1990s vacation from history (oh, how I love that term) who always got what we wanted and never had to shoulder much responsibility.
The fourth step is to understand that the internet is deeply ingrained in our psyche and it strongly colors our perception of reality. On the internet, nobody knows you're a squirrel...or that you aren't a squirrel.
I could come up with more steps, but...the fifth step is to understand that we're rather lazy and ADD-ish, and Lazy/ADD C++ is tired of writing steps and has some other things to take care of.

My dad, who would be 94 if he hadn't died 10 years ago, was jamming hostile radio stations during the Dominican Republic intervention. Years later he told us LBJ was an incompetent ditherer who obviously couldn't make up his mind which advisors to listen to. They'd jam the radios for an hour, then get orders from the White House to stop jamming, then be told to start jamming again an hour after that - back and forth, over and over. He figured the Joint Chiefs wanted the jamming to protect our troops, some civilian worried about 'world opinion' (possibly Robert McNamara) wanted no jamming - as if world opinion wouldn't have complained just as much about something else - and LBJ was the kind of idiot who followed the advice of whichever advisor had talked to him last. Just guesswork, but it was the only analysis that made sense.

There's a part of me that's happy that Covid and its authoritarian chicanery played out the way it did. Never again do I have any reason to suspect that these self-righteous "civil rights" liberals have even a tiny bit of devotion to their ostensible cause. It's all a facade, and will be treated accordingly.
On the other hand, I've gained a lot of respect for guys like Glenn Greenwald who stuck to their guns when it wasn't socially convenient to do so. The last few years have been interesting, finding out who the heroes and villains truly are.

No. The mental barrier is simply being impolite. Making a scene.
The Left always makes the most stupid points, loudly, because the trick is being loud. The Right hates being impolite.
You know what else is impolite ? Not forming a nice line on the way into the camps. And you watch, when those of the Right are marching in step through those gates, and somebody gets out of line and gums up the works, it won't be somebody of the Left that corrects them.
It'll be somebody well and truly of the Right.

My political awakening occurred in the early 80's while in college and reading newspaper editorials. I noticed that all the opinion pieces on the right were rational and consistent with liberty, whereas the left argued straight from emotion and consistent with tyranny.
Anyway, William Safire had an essay where he basically said: the difference between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives value liberty/freedom over security/safety, whereas liberals value security/safety over liberty/freedom.
Then a friend turned my on to Ayn Rand, and I was off to the races ... reading Friedman, Sowell, Hayek, et. al.

It would be like a state saying everyone between the ages of 32 and 34 is now an outlaw. If somehow you survive your 34th then your legal status suddenly changes to not being an outlaw. But until then your legal status exists outside any protection of law. It's similar to the status of slaves in that the unborn can be considered property for purpose of calculating loss but possess no legal status for themselves.
There does not exist any person that doesn't realize how abhorrent abortion is. Regardless of where they lie on the to murder or not they stood before the full light of truth before making their decision.

Now? I think GW set the table for the looming economic disaster and also set the table for the US to lose much of its prestige, in the world.
However, I also know that's on me, and I do not blame others for my incorrect understanding of what actually happened. In other words, I am capable of eventually learning from my mistakes.

It's pretty damn simple - when is a person a person ? Is it at "conception" ? I don't even know how to define that - is the moment when I get to the happy place ? Is it at the moment my fastest swimmer gets to the stubborn membrane ?
Most people, me included, will agree on somewhere after the morning after. So if the reluctant woman wants to take that morning after pill - that's fine with me and most like me. If she wants to do something at the point where the kid has a heartbeat and little limbs moving around ? That's a person - there better be a damn good compelling reason.

The FBI is going for "desired investigative outcome" and will make sure they wholly own the investigation. Expect leaks to friendly reporters in order to create buzz and hot takes which are 180 degrees from the truth.

In my opinion, we have been in a war with the American left since at least 2000. It has just been that only the American Left was fighting it. American conservatives refused until around 2016 to believe that the media and the Democrat Party and the American Left in general were not their political opponents, but their enemies in a 'cold' civil war they have been waging.
People seem to think of a war only in terms of physical fighting, like the American Civil War. They throw around terms like "the culture war", but don't treat it as such. But whenever I see people say they expect some future civil war, the line from Pirates of the Caribbean comes to mind: "You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner... you're in one."
Conservatives best start believing in American civil war... because we've been in one for decades now. Only the Left is the only one who has been fighting it. Long march through the institutions -- media, schools, universities, Hollywood, FBI, CIA, CDC, FDA.

Two things I hate the most, in the written language. A whole bunch of words before a "but" - because everything before that word was self serving bullshit.
And leading a sentence with "actually". Because other than math or the physical sciences that can be supported to the Nth degree via math, nothing is objective. It's all subjective to varying degrees. "Actually" just means "my definition is the one true definition".
So for your "actually" - wind back your definition of liberty / freedom to Conservatives support of the Patriot Act post 9/11.

You seem to fail to recognize that the current left is abnormally bad with your "both sides" rhetoric. If the Left were merely an irritant, merely bad at economics, merely discriminating against us we would not be entertaining open conflict. If the Left is ultimately successful the majority of the US population would perish. Few regimes much criticized by historians are as bad.

It is, Jack. And the problem of the excesses of the Right will not crop up until after I'm dead - for variations of a healthy, extremely active, and stubborn fifty year old man.
But, if we've seen anything - it's that no ideology can survive it's own success. They have to push, and push, until everyone just gets sick of them.
No ideology self limits. There always has to be the next thing. Like abortion at conception. Or beer on Sunday. Optional prayer in school today turns into mandatory tomorrow. It's always something.

But there are still good people, obviously, and it is our job as the actual rulers of this country to get rid of them and put people in office who will safeguard our God given rights and freedoms.
Trump derailed the uniparty centralization of power and they hate him and us because of it. Not because he was wrong but because he was right. We will always have to fight these assholes, comes with the territory. But just claiming they will always win is cowardly.
Fuck them. Happy 4th, Scogg. Try to enjoy it.

I had the same thought. Further study is necessary.

On these very pages there was a link to (US Army doctor?) who documented 2-3X increases in miscarriages if Jabbed after 20 weeks.
Let us not forget the big increase of healthy, young, athletic males dropping dead from stroke and clots, ALL OF WHOM WERE JABBED AT LEAST TWICE.
There is now documented proof that the MrNA shot contents migrate throughout the body, a significant portion of which make their way to the testicles and ovaries, and these products of anal sex thinks we need to jab 6 month old babies with this toxic shit that does not protect from the virus?!?
The common themes are all the injured were vaxxed, those in "the club" are making big bank. The population is being decimated. The left is in full-throated support; and their is tremendous loss of innocent life. Sounds positively devilish.

The world's population is now shrinking, We won't hit 8 billion, let alone 10. China, Russia, Japan, SOuth Korea, Germany, Italy, a fair number of Eastern Europe are in population freefall.
Musk notes correctly that the world is shrinking and that it is a bad thing. The left should agree, because the modern welfare state, upon which their full faith and dreams exist, needs ever larger populations to be successful. That scheme is now over. If anyone argues against this, suggest they do some investigative work that does not use any UN based sources. We are getting smaller, and we are moving into a world of less. The left is woefully ill-equipped to govern in this environment. Most of those political parties will disappear in the next 50 years. The next battle will be national populist parties vs our GOPe/NT contingent.

That's not exactly how it went down.

Read more, Jack.
It was built on notions of self rule. Mostly spurred on by the locals not really liking the English running around impressing men, horses, and wagons to fight the French and Indians. Yet, in something that should tell us something about human nature, the guy that was knee deep in the impressing eventually got on Mt. Rushmore. Somewhere along the way, he made sure folks paid their tax on barter whiskey.
I can go on and on.
You are happy today, Jack, because the Supreme Court pleased you with a sweeping decision. Sometime soon, you'll tell us why the next not so pleasing decision is simply not based in law. But it'll be a decision that stands, with power behind it, all the same. Then you'll tell us how relief is inevitable.

If he's coming for the same reason the rest of us are -- to enjoy time with like-minded people -- that might be good. If he thinks it's another political event, f*ck him.

Parents told me older sister voted for Jimmah 'cause he 'had a nice smile'. Her intelligence went down from there unfortunately!

Self rule is rule making at the lowest part of gov possible. That is the notion JackStraw celebrates. And he's right.
If you prefer anarchy, you are welcome to it. There have been examples if you'd care to check it out. And it isn't pleasant. But you go ahead and dream about something that never was.
