"Fascist" or at least "semi-Fascist" isn't really wrong here. You have a party that believes in government interference in the economy to protect favored industries, working in tandem with well-connected capitalists to hold back the power of labor--that's fascist corporatism right there. You have trade and immigration policies that are similar to what fascists have implemented. You have a concept of patriotism based not on laws or central ideals, but on symbolism. Hero-worship of a single leader, anti-democratic initiatives to keep the in-party in power, looking the other way when your most extremist followers commit political violence--we are definitely moving into fascist territory, gradually.
Politics make strange bedfellows, but even a love of tax cuts may not be enough for a self-respecting black man to have to side with an open white supremacist.
Well, I was trying to make he point that the GOP is retiring in droves (which in fact IS including all the Republicans who retired or announced their retirement before him). I’m sorry for what is apparently my racial insensitivity. I’ll try to be better. Thank you for helping me.
It's not fascism until they use police powers to stiffle and punish opposition. So, not quite there yet. It definitely is national-populism with racialist undercurrents.
We guess he [Will Hurd] got lonely without having Mia Love to sit with in the House cafeteria.
So being a congressional Republican is kinda like when the Boston Red Sox finally got around to being the last Major League Baseball team to integrate its roster in 1959 by signing the immortal Pumpsie Green (the Bosox had taken a pass on signing Jackie Robinson a decade and a half earlier) they had to sign a second black player right away so Pumpsie would have somebody to room with on the road?
My own experience was that companies advise against giving references beyond confirmation of employment. There is so much liability otherwise, even for a seemingly positive review.
They still do, for that reason

awwww! poor GOP. It's a mystery why they keep losing ThosePeople™ even among their own.
Agreed! She's inched out Harris as my top choice.
He already had. (Not) Joe the (Not a) Plumber told everyone that his guns mean more to him than their dead children.
Let's hope that karma keeps kicking him in his tiny 'nads for years to come.
Not if you're cooking a lot of bacon, I guess!

I’m hoping she can find a way to include some outrage into her campaign, without compromising her sweet grandma with a plan for everything persona.
What the everloving fuck are you going on about?

like using active duty military for internal border security ops?

He was about ten seconds off a Lakeith Stanfield nosebleed by the end of that interview.
