    I think this is to emotional a claim but I think there is truth to saying that the two parties used to be closer together, and that the democratic party has moved hard left. The crepublican hardly moved at all, so in that sense they are failed democrats because they’ve failed to…

    REPLACING THE POSTWAR REPUBLICAN PARTY
    (the slow socialists vs the faster socialists, that’s all)
    Well, in the choice between the low chance of a new party, and the less low chance of taking over the republican party, it seems like that’s the best choice. But given the anti-intellectualism of the conservatives, they have never put together a campaign that would put them into consistent domestic power, even if they can capture international power.

  • THE GREATER GOOD? AND OUR GOVT’S EXPIRATION DATE? – Some politicians, bureaucrat

    THE GREATER GOOD? AND OUR GOVT’S EXPIRATION DATE?
    – Some politicians, bureaucrats, financiers, ‘vendors’, and supporters do have the greater good at heart.
    – Some have an ideology at heart as a substitute for the greater goods.
    – Some have their party’s power structure at heart as a substitute for the gerater good.
    – Some have their funders at heart as a substitute for the greater good.
    – And some have their voters as a substitute for the greater good.
    – And some have their personal interests at heart regardless of the greater good.
    – And nearly all some admixture of the above.

    I don’t know what percent.
    I do know it’s not working.
    And the postwar government isn’t organized or populated for:
    – the new-war government that must complete the transition from authoritarian agrarian empires with involuntary colonies, to volutnary rule of law industrial federations with a market of voluntary trading partners.
    – or the termination of the attempt to restore authoritarian imperial socialist government over rule of law, meritocratic, market government.

    We know what to do. But this big a government is going to require a lot of ‘firing and new hiring’, and legal and policy reform to prevent this from happening again.

    I’m not so sure it’s about butter, but about what he sees as a lifetime investment in a geostrategy and domestic policy that has run its course. If that’s what defending the empire means then that fits.

    Q: MITCH McCONNELL?
    Can someone please explain, in adult terms, (incentives) why McConnell is counter-signaling Carlson’s publication of the tapes showing that this wasn’t an insurrection but a protest?

    Grownups do things for reasons. His stated reason is disapproval of countersignaling the capital police leadership. And, I’m not even sure why that makes any sense at all. And given that the conspiracy theory that the govt sent actors into the crowd to agitate, it’s getting a little ridiculous to try to preserve the mainstream narrative. Especially when the democrats BOMBED the capitol in the 60s.

    I kinda doubt I’ll get the desired answer in adult terms. But just in case… 😉
