| SecondWar said: I take the guy’s point. I can’t really comment on any of the guys before Bush Jr as they were before my time. I think the comparison for Bush is unwarranted. I don’t know enough about Dick Cheney. The Tea Party movement seemed ridiculous to me but I wouldn’t have called them Nazis (also don’t recall people calling them that). Its still a stretch for Trump given the atrocities the Nazis committed which Trump hasn’t but on the flispide its no different when Trump calls all Democrats radical marxist socialist communists. |
Ha yeah, that seems to be the common counter

Of course both sides interpret the terms differently. It's pointless name calling, both Democrats and Republicans want to live a decent life with a job that can sustain their family. It's the oligarchy that keeps putting the sides against each other by only focusing on the extremes. The democrats are coming for your jobs with their immigration policies, DEI, higher taxes vs the Republicans are coming for your job security, social security, unions.
Meanwhile the 1% keeps on enriching themselves watching the people fight over scraps. Red vs Blue states was/is a genius strategy. Divide and conquer. And I fear Canada is heading in the same direction now the NDP (the 3rd party) has been decimated thanks to Trump. Last election was a 'don't let Pierre Poilievre win' scramble, costing the NDP to push Liberal ahead.
