Repubs don't care about results, only "owning the libs" by winning/power
[QUOTE=Paulie97;2590310]These are questions that certainly demand answers, straight ones, and something beyond the usual song and dance. Is amazing all through the Clinton years, with a booming economy and balanced budget, all they could talk about was sex. That's even while the bathroom stall footsie "I'm not gay" boy was on the loose.

Direct answers to direct questions would be most refreshing, but don't hold your breath. It's amazing how people can so continually be lured to vote against their own interests, and the tactic is typically divide and conquer, IE. Race baiting / "these young black males are coming to burbs en mass to rape all your daughters." Wink.[/QUOTE]Repub voters might not have done enough self examination to understand their own mindset as well as Donald J. Trump and I understand their mindset.
Here is what Trump and I know about the Repub voter mindset: "owning the libs" by winning elections and gaining more power is everything. The results of those won elections is nothing.
Anybody notice how many times Trump returned time and time again to regaling his bussed in rally goers about that Glorious Night in November 2016? I think he is still mentioning it in his sucker personal fund raising get togethers. Unless it has now been totally replaced with regaling them about his Big Lie that he won the 2020 election "by a LOT!"
Traitor Trump's cop-attacking and killing violent Insurrection on January 6, 2021 will forever stand as a symbol for how critically and exclusively important "winning" is over all else to the Repub voter. Not just the ones who were there attacking and trying to kill cops to get their way. Also to the growing number among them who deny that anything worth paying much attention to even happened. Overthrowing American democracy is a tiny price to pay if any price at all as long as they get that "win" by any means necessary.
Nevermind that the guy they insisted should be given Four More Years had already produced and presided over the worst economic and national security results of all time.
Nevermind that their "winning" Repub candidates produced and presided over every major economic downturn of the past century and none of the historic recoveries and expansions.
Nevermind that by the end of their latest "winning" so-called potus' term the Repub Party has racked up more USA job losses than gains since the creation of their Party in the 1850's!
If anything, the WORSE results their "winning" pols produce, the better effect it has on "owning the libs" and the more exhilarating the "winning" election night is for them.
This is all part of their patholigical authoritarian psychosis. Winning, power, control is everything. Whatever happens after that doesn't matter to them in the least. Which is exactly what gives their "winning" potus' licence to produce shit results over and over again.
LOL. That is why I harped on the idea that those of us who pushed back on the other thread's poster who started a misplaced political topic by slamming "obamacare" and "the Dems" were handing his ass to him. They were fine with his message regardless where it popped up. That's why none of them quoted his posts or the one that defended him to slam them for being misplaced.
What they really objected to was that it became clear he was getting his ass handed to him for it by other posters. His interjecting of that message was not turning out to be a "win" for him and that's when they rushed to put a stop to it. Winning vs Losing is the only way to get their attention. They couldn't care less about the results of their "win."
One Party? I'd love to see more than 2
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2590687]Jesus, I am not even going to respond to that. If we had your way, there would be one party rule like communist China. All good was done by Democrats and all bad by Republicans? It makes me wonder why you live in the USA when you so badly crave a one party oligarchy. Good and evil are in your mind defined by political party choices. Do you feel the same way about religion too?[/QUOTE]I for one would love more parties than two. I think we need at least 4. Because right now every aspiring politician is forced to choose between 2 major parties instead of landing with the party they really belong. I believe, or at least still hope, that if there were at least two large parties on the right and two on the left, then all totalitarian-minded, degenerate Qanon-worshiping, white supremacist scumbags could join something like a National Party in France, while on the left anarchists and socialists / commies would be happy in a party like, I don't know, Germany's The Left. That would leave centrist Democrats and Republicans being able to act like responsible grown-ups. Maybe.
And as a bonus, Republicans wouldn't have had to sell their souls to a disgusting sociopathic authoritarian.
As predictable as night following day
LOL. Irresponsible, mass murderer Repub Texas Governor Abbott is now begging more responsible governors of other states to rescue all the geniuses who foolishly moved to his state from dying of Trump's Pandemic virus.
Preview of Coming Attractions for Florida's irresponsible, mass murdering Repub Governor DeSantis:

P.S. a reminder that these Repub mass murders of Americans are the result of economic decisions to refuse mask and certain closure mandates that they decide are too much of a financial burden to bear. Exactly the economic decision reasoning mass murderer Trump used to "save" us a few measly million$ by dramatically defunding the CDC, removing them from their oversight and monitoring positions in those Chinese virus research labs and thereby effectively dismantled our (and the world's) Pandemic Prevention and Response system in 2018 against all expert advice and serious warnings not to do that.
Thus us how the always pro Repub mainstream media comes to their oft stated lie that "Republicans are better at handling the economy than Demicrats."
