You know it always makes me laugh about how Democrats turned Ohio from being the swing state to end all swing states to becoming a blood red state all because they decided to abandon the working class. That has to sting the most for them.

And they're giving Republicans every opportunity to do the same thing in Pennsylvania too

In 2008 Democrats had a 1.2 million voter registration advantage in PA

Now it's 300,000

It isn't from the GOP signing up new voters

It's from formerly registered Democrats and independents re-registering as Republicans (and then they vote Republican too, it's not from "register as a Republican to fuck up their primary lul!")

Democrats hadn't lost a Senate race and the presidential race in the same election in PA since 1880

They've lost 2 of the last 3 presidential elections in PA

They lost all statewide offices that were up for election this year

Philadelphia is losing its stranglehold on statewide elections

Will PA turn into another straight Ohio where the Republican presidential candidate wins by 6, 7, 8 points? No. But it could turn into a state where the Republican candidate consistently wins by 2, 3, 4 points if the Democrats don't turn things around there

-Reagan lied about not raising taxes, proving Walter Mondale right.
-Reagan expanded the outsourcing of American industry that began under Carter
-Reagan passed a major amnesty act, beginning the death spiral of America
-Reagan invited neocon after neocon (i.e. Trotskyists) into the government and wasted the budget on massive expansions of the military and threatened nuclear war, despite all evidence showing the USSR was impotent at best
-Reagan involved America in many pointless foreign wars like Grenada and Panama and spent countless millions on arms trafficking to Central America paid for by both taxpayer dollars and by selling crack cocaine to blacks causing the highest crime rates in history and permanent ruination of American cities
-Reagan supported closing the asylums as governor
-Reagan passed numerous gun control acts as both governor and president, including a ban on automatic weapons. He also supported the Brady Act.

Reagan was a proto-neocon and a RINO. He was just better at selling it to Americans than deep state globalist Shrub Sr or his Skull and Bones failson Shrub Jr. He ruined the GOP for decades and decades to come, and helped finish the job FDR, LBJ, and Jimmy Carter started in destroying America. If he were alive today, he'd be hardcore Never Trump and would smile and tell you that Ukraine needs another 100 billion, you don't need an AR-15 to defend yourself, and immigrants are hard workers who deserve citizenships. At least he'd be reasonably based on troons and faggotry, but that's the bare minimum we should expect from a sane human being.

Echoing what @General Emílio Médici said, your mistake is that you're applying modern day political line of thinking to a time period that it just doesn't fit into. Back then, the biggest thing Americans had to worry about was The Soviet Union. While yeah, some of his policies (such as ushering in neolibs and neocons) did suck in the long term, it did make sense back then if anti communism is your no 1. priority. Also, regarding your whole "purity test" Trump just appointed a Soros approved CIO former democrat who's also a gay parent to lead the treasury. Is he a RINO too?

Schiff's flailing because he knows if Trump goes through with internal investigations on any of the lawfare, he's fucked.

I can't wait. With any luck, the internal investigations will tank the Democrats even further.

It's very telling that Biden is backtracking on all of this. I wonder if he's making everything easy for Trump as a "fuck you" to the Democrats.

I have noticed something about the stinkpiece articles that really tells me that the media and DNC haven't learned. A lot of them are saying that Trump's policies or people he's picked for his cabinet are "AKSHULLY GOING TO HURT YOU" like choosing Chavez-DeRemer for Labor secretary and how it will hurt truckers. None of it reads like actual critique of policy or choices, it reads like people at the WaPo and other dying outlets screaming and hoping those dumb rubes will suffer for not choosing Kamala and her most likely equally terrible choices. It certainly worked the last eight years guys, keep it up!

Which is why Grenada and Panama got invaded. They weren't like Clinton's police actions in the Balkans and Africa or Bush's GWOT or Obama's retarded interventions, these were communist countries that had popped up very close which the USA did not want to see turn into new Cubas. Similarly with the big push on military spending and R&D, it made sense in the context of pushing the USSR into a position it couldn't win.

Pass a federal law any election for congress where 100% of the votes aren't counted within 72 hours of election day is invalidated, incumbent keeps the seat. If there is no incumbent personally then the incumbent party keeps the seat. Fucking ridiculous it is twenty days after election day

Then when the Dems get congress back because of an eventual, although hopefully way down the road pendulum swing, they'll just make a law that votes can be counted up to six months after the election and if they flip, they sit.

It needs fixing at the state level.

Going from never hearing about tariffs to them suddenly being the stupidest thing in the world according to these people, and you look into it and realize it's what trump has been doing this entire time, but just more now.

This is why you don't listen to pedo poltards. The other things he said are exaggerations and omissions and other petty dishonesties, but this one is a flat-out lie

Reagan and Thatcher were literally the only western politicians, along with the Pope, who believed the USSR was vulnerable. Every western intelligence agency and political thunker believed the USSR was strong and on the march in 1980 and would only get stronger in the future. "All evidence" that the Soviet Union was vulnerable was generally suppressed in intelligence summaries, Reagan had to go into the full data to find out that it didn't match his briefings

Poltards who weren't alive when Reagan took office blithely handwave how shitty the position of the west was after the 70s. Nearly a decade of stagflation and general societal demoralization made nearly all the Very Smart Retards take the position that western decline was real, spectacular, and irreversible. The real reason poltards go after Reagan is they are assmad that he did reverse it. After all, if he hadn't we could have had fascism finally but he did so fuck him

Yeah that would really sit well with the electorate. They could totally pull that off. Next time try taking a few seconds to think what the reaction to such a law would be

I sure do love getting economic assessments on Twitter from people who can't figure out a basic fucking budget.

Guaran-fucking-teed. They will actually try and kill people, and I expect some of them will bring guns.

I am expecting however that this time there will be National Guard around, which these faggots will claim is "proof" of the fascism while they conveniently forget that after the Boomer Tour they Washington looking like it was under military occupation.
