He'll throw a shit fit to protect 30,000 coal jobs but could give a fuck about 500,000 USPS employees.

More than that, the post office is an enemy because they would facilitate absentee and mail-in voting.

This is exactly it.

The GOP want the outbreak to last until November or at least cause another flair up at that time. Wisconsin was their test case. They want it so only the absolute crazies that have words painted all over their cars about Jesus will vote. Sure, you can vote...if you don't mind lining up 2 days before in only 52 polling stations across the whole country.

Republicans aren't fucking around any more. The fake democracy is over. They are cashing out and preparing for permanent dictatorship run by them.

There were only 5 polling stations in Milwaukee out of the usual 180. 5. Out of 180. There were lines literally over a mile long. Some of my friends waited for hours. I really hope that Jill gets that SC win. Wisconsin needs that right now.

Reagan literally rebuilt the Republican party in his image, I mean shit he literally helped build the right wing media infrastructure or at least early perfected the Rush Limbaugh-esque radio programming in the early 70s.

Reagan's presidential legacy above all else should be the"Unitary Executive" theory

, Ed Meese the AG under Reagan was aided in writing theory up by several Alex P. Keaton - young conservative movement type characters, such as Bill Barr, wrote up the theory that's essentially answered the Nixonian question of "whatever the president does isn't illegal.

The UET has opened the door for all proceeding administrations since Reagan to basically have unchecked power and namely most harmfully used by the Bush and Trump administrations. I think that the rise of the UET can be the key to understanding the sixth party system
that we are currently operating in.

I blame Newt.

The Man Who Broke Politics (Newt Gingrich)- https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/11/newt-gingrich-says-youre-welcome/570832/

But few figures in modern history have done more than Gingrich to lay the groundwork for Trump’s rise. During his two decades in Congress, he pioneered a style of partisan combat—replete with name-calling, conspiracy theories, and strategic obstructionism—that poisoned America’s political culture and plunged Washington into permanent dysfunction. Gingrich’s career can perhaps be best understood as a grand exercise in devolution—an effort to strip American politics of the civilizing traits it had developed over time and return it to its most primal essence.

And his Padawan?

Pundits, aghast at the brazenness of the strategy, predicted backlash from voters—but few seemed to notice. Even some Republicans were surprised by what they were getting away with. Bill Kristol, then a GOP strategist, marveled at the success of his party’s “principled obstructionism.” An up-and-coming senator named Mitch McConnell was quoted crowing that opposing the Democrats’ agenda “gives gridlock a good name.” When the 103rd Congress

adjourned in October, The Washington Post declared it “perhaps the worst Congress” in 50 years.
