again i'm more thinking of it causing tea party types to primary their moderate congress person leading to a large amount of insane people in congress leading to stuff just being rejected forever

Yea I'm sure it had some impact and shifted some republicans a bit further to the right.

But I don't think you can explain the election of Trump & Republican majorities as a reaction to Obama being black. That really doesn't hold up when you look at how well liked he is. There is a natural swing back and forth from Democrat to Republican since a lot of people just like the idea of change

I'm not thinking of anything!
I laugh my rear end off every time one of these idiots mixes up a republican political talking point with a republican ideal and falls upward.

The incoming New Trump Order is supposed to say they 'love our precious children and want to help them along better in the world' or some poo poo, but they end up just saying "Child labor is kind of a good thing huh?" and the entrenched (R)'s have got to be thinking "Oh jesus loving christ you aren't supposed to say that, are you kidding me!?" and then being bewildered when it ends up working anyways.

Like you gotta hand it to the Trump administration for really going head-first into the game and swinging for the damned fences, those old (R)'s must feel kind of regretful for never truly expressing their true values. They're like those bitter closeted gay dudes who never got the opportunity to wear rainbow underwear on a parade float.

It's not really that, you're right, but it's NOT the natural swing back and forth.

poo poo has gone off the deep end while on fire. There's not really a "left" or "right" anymore, there's hysterical cry nazis on the left and ignorant 'gently caress the world' assholes on the right and a handful of people who used to lean one way or another that's immediately attacked by both sides for not going balls-deep in their philosophy.

In the swing back and forth, there was one constant, and it was the ppl/entities rich enough to pay both sides out to keep looking after them. They seem do be doing fine, btw.

For a non American, which way is the Supreme Court likely to go with this? I know what the ideological split is, but will there be at least one conservative judge willing to tell Trump to gently caress off given his stance on the judiciary? Also will Gorsuch have a say on any potential case or will his appointment be dragged out for months?

Sorry I meant

That reminds me of a lol worthy dream I had, where Trump had invited Judge Judy to rule on the immigration executive order expecting her to come out in his favour, so he arranged for it to be reported live from the White House. Judy proceeded to dismantle the order, Trump, and his cabinet then escaped through a door behind her. Trump followed, incensed, before we the viewers saw cctv footage of Trump huffing and puffing red faced around the White House trying to find Judy. Lol.
