I love that people jack off about what a fashion icon she is literally just because her career was wearing nice clothes designers sent her when every instance of her actually showing off her personal aesthetic has been complete garbage.

Bonus points for most of those people also thinking Michelle Obama was some classless subhuman...for reasons

Standing Rock isn't dumb because they're protesting an actual bad thing, whereas Nazis at best protest made up things and at worst good things.

if a hundred morons decided to hold a protest expressing their opposition to cellular phone towers disrupting the phlogiston and a helicopter crashed while monitoring them, I would not assert that extremist phlogistonites killed two people

It's because the majority of the American people are deeply racist and love the suffering of others. They're just not always agitated enough to express that opinion and enforce it through power.

When you see those pictures don't think "how did we fall so far?" but rather realize that this is what the entire Republican Party apparatus has been trying to accomplish since Goldwater. The complete dehumanization of anyone who is not a rich white American.

Taft was a good dude and was genuinely hurt when Teddy turned on him in the election. He then became a Supreme Court Justice and was a good dude there for the most part

Teddy did some great stuff in the Progressive era with destroying the Guilded Age, and is almost entirely responsible for early conservation efforts. He also hated unions as socialists and wanted an American Empire so mixed record there

I'll be voting tomorrow to turn Mississippi blue. Cindy is the stark embodiment of the mean spirited stupidity that has come to represent the republican party, a core of white rage and sneering contempt that isn't quite brave enough yet to take what they want by force. She won't try to bash your head in just yet, because she isn't sure that she can get away with it. But by golly she knows she's right and god is on her side and all of you blacks and liberals have it coming one day soon. In the south you can sometimes see the struggle of the nation as a whole boiled down to it's simplest form with just the core elements starkly in place.

There's only been four Republicans who've said "gently caress this noise" and never went back: Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, Nicolle Wallace, and Bill Kristol. Everyone else found various points at which to shout "The Pivot! At last!" and crawled back to Trump because he owns them, now and always.

Hoover was also a decent guy who absolutely should not have been president. He was a legit philanthropist and did a lot of good work pre-presidency. He just failed spectacularly at running the country. He also wasn't even a Republican until they begged him to run.

Check out the post on him in the President's thread for more info, it changed my opinion on him pretty dramatically.

It didn't help Hoover that known lunatic Douglass McArthur heard the order of "disperse the Bonus Army peacefully" to mean "fire bomb and bayonet our own WWI veterans."

It's why McArthur was exiled to the Phillipines, and only through sheer dumb luck of WWII did he ever get a commission again.

With the level of sociopathy it would take to be a high ranking Republican, it’s surprising there are any.

We do have to remember that the dumbass true believer Republicans are still a minority. The rest of them are 100% just in it for the grift and will change any ethical or moral standard in a heartbeat.

Of course the true believers will change their ethics any time they have to, because conservatives are almost always willing to break laws and norms whenever it helps them. Whether it’s because “God is on their side”, or the Libs were already doing it (they weren’t), or it’s necessary for “security” (it’s not). Any excuse really.

Conservatives have no moral backbone, and I’m not sure they ever have at any point in history.

I guess you can put her on that list, but she's one of the ones who pines openly and loudly to go back to the old days of being quietly monstrous rather than loudly monstrous. So she'd hardly "reformed" to the level of Schmidt and Wallace at least.
