I’m pretty chill and down to earth, feel like there’s a lot of hate towards us.

    They drove out the blue-dog republicans years before.

    It is nice that there is a specific year, though, that we can point at for when the moderates lost plausible deniability when it comes to being enablers of the far right.

      Oyea that’s just the year they went full mask off. I think it became first noticable when some people legitimately believed Obama was muslim.

        Well, the time that moderates should have started actively questioning if “Are the dems and pinkos right?” if nothing else.

        But for the lefties, it was pretty much Reagan that shouted it out that they were anti-worker.

        If firing the air traffic controllers, and making cocaine a race based drug (drawing attention to crack being a ‘black drug’) and the general hatred towards workers movements didn’t have them questioning what side they were on then…

        Well, I’m just not surprised that those people are confused about why suddenly they are suddenly being compared to the old German American Bund.
