Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of my lifetime.
Will wait to determine if this movie is a Hollywood hatchet job before I decide whether or not to see it.
same...where did we go wrong post Ronnie?
Obama was the tipping point.
Americans were brainwashed into believing voting for a novelty was overdue.
And he then turned race baiting into an art form.
A lucrative art form.
I guess that can be true if we all forget 2000-2008. 9/11 happened then we went to war in Iraq based on bad intelligence and the economy crashed.
I'm gonna ignore it was Obama's fault that you voted for Trump. What I can't ignore is how can anyone who says Reagan was great could then vote for Trump. Twice.
Regan uplifted the republic Trump is burning it down.
I don't know how many were voting for Trump so much as opposed to Hillary and Joe.
I'd vote for a fence post prior to voting for either of them.
I'm not gonna act like we're oppositions are similar. I would never vote for Trump. But I'd vote for a Republican. I know some good dudes who are Republicans.
If Trump were a Democrat, he'd not get my vote. It just seems to me if Trump became a Democrat (with his values) Republicans would oppose him on moral grounds.
The irony is politically he is a Clintonian Democrat. It's just the Democrat Party has become so extreme he seems "conservative."
Clintonian democrat is probably correct. He was willing to compromise. He spoke of his triangulation strategy to get things accomplished. He and Trump are both scumbag humans but, they could accomplish some things without having to make sure the other side lost.
Where Trump is not a D in any way in his appointments of judges. On this, he is a solid R.
I really do not like the framing of judicial appointments in terms of "Democrat" or "Republican." They should be above politics. Yes, Republicans will tend to favor more strict constructionist rulings while Democrats generally support legislating from the bench, but I think judicial philosophy should not be partisan.
For example,
Dobbs was not an ideological decision but a legal one. As often gets misinterpreted,
Roe actually was a terrible legal decision and an absurdly ideological one.
Dobbs was non-partisan, moderate legal theory reversing an absurd decision. As tends to happen the spin doctors frame so-called conservative judicial restraint to liberal activism and the actual partisan component. Much like the Culture Wars, 99% of the time the left starts it and then frames it as "Republicans pounce."
