“We need the conservatives to keep the conservatives in check!”
This country needs political literacy and situational understanding, there aren’t two parties.
Right, and they just assassinated one of their own. 🙄
What they meant is that, for the working class, both parties are effectively the same. They both represent the rich, albeit different subsections with slightly differing interests. Sometimes the rich assassinate the rich because some of the rich got in the way of other rich people. They have as much infighting as the left sometimes tbh. Regardless of that though they are both capitalist parties who primarily secure the interests of capitalists. They are the same in that neither of them give a shit about you other than what you can do for them. Which is to say, the illusion of political legitimacy and the wealth you create for them.
No, that wasn’t a politician, that was a terrorist propagandized to extremism, and that is a very useful tool for them.
Absolutely fucking not! The Republican Party does not get to distance themselves from the assassin; they absolutely own the behavior they incited!
I don't give a fuck if the guy held office or not; he was 100% representative of the Party.
