Just as expected- their first response to true resistance is to try to weaponize our empathy against us. Instinctually the right-wing is trying to DARVO* the opposition to the child concentration camps.

So when do we stop subsidizing the coal and oil industries? Wouldn't want to pay for someones failures, right?

While we're at it I think we need to refund all the taxpayers for the F-35, that's a pretty big failure we're still subsidizing.

okay, so, turns out the problem finding the bill yesterday other than the news outlets being lazy fuckers and not naming or linking it was that the Congressional Internet Guy was slow to upload the day's work

they've been Doing Some Other Stuff that I should maybe post in this thread, but the border funding etc bill is :siren: HR 3401, AP News, I know you read this thread :siren:

it'll take me a bit to buckle down and read it and it's pretty medium-length so it'll take some actual effort to break down, but the text linky is https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/3401/text?r=1&s=5

REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE LITTLE HORSE-SHAPED ONES MOVE?

Sanguinia posted:

There's a scene in the West Wing where John Delancie plays a political consultant. When the Bartlet Crew are trying to help along legislation for drug rehab programs. The consultant suggests they not only can the legislation, but can the ENTIRE ISSUE of rehab. During the scene he acknowledges that rehab is both more humane and more successful in combating drugs than prosecution and other War On Drugs bs. But he also believes the American Voters will never, ever support it because the argument will never win a messaging war. "It's too much easier to say 'Just Say No, and everyone else is Soft On Crime.'"

In the show Bartlett himself basically tells that guy to gently caress off with his cynicism. Pelosi and Schumer listen intently and nod along with that guy. I do honestly believe that they want to do something about those camps. But they want to do it nice and quietly once they win the Whitehouse back so the Rs can't tar them with being treasonous open-boarders socialists.

Of course, the Rs will say that anyway, and their base will continue to believe them even when the statements have no credibility, yet for some reason they fear giving them credibility. Its beyond stupid

One of the biggest reasons why is because their formative political experiences occurred around the end of the New Deal coalition, the rise of the Southern Strategy, and the Reagan administration. They witnessed racism and jingoism slaughter all before them, and their political instincts were permanently shaped by the experience. They learned how to play the game, to win and implement policy in an environment where dogwhistles about welfare queens were big winners, but then Gingrich, McConnell, and Trump overturned the board, and I don't think they've been able to really grasp on an instinctive level what that means. They're still trying to win by the old rules. It's part of what political realignments do, especially ones that happen as seismically as this one is happening right now, and it's why there's nothing for it but to replace the leadership. To the degree they want to do the right thing (and that's arguable and varies by the issue), they just don't have the playbook to do it in the world that exists today.

The end of a party system is a hell of a loving time, y'all. :toot:

Nah, I'd say it's calculated. The right's spaghetti-on-a-wall method of attack is effective because their failures get lost in the aether while their success, like their anti-semitism run at Omar, gain ground.

Just keep on lobing bad-faith attacks until something connects and then go all-in on that line. It would only be dense if liberals didn't instantly recoil from the slightest sting and flee the people they should be supporting.

I mean, China's been running their own concentration camps so I'm not sure that's entirely a counterpoint. I guess if their defense of the revolution is disconnected from the current government?


I'm pretty sure the source for that is this, which is a guy that photoshops this sort of stuff.
