Republican Leadership Is A Threat To America

Gotta love it when they start suggesting the voting age should be raised to 25. Now...why would they say something like...no we can't raise the age to owning an AR-like gun to 21....if they are adult enough to go to war...they are adult enough to own a gun...but now the wave is starting that you are too stupid to vote? So which is it Republicans? Make up your mind. Seems to me you are again using a double standard.

This is what happens when the "other side" seeks "bipartisanship" with conservative Republicans instead of fighting them to the death. It just emboldens the conservative Republicans to go all the more extreme in pandering to the base, since the Democratic politicians will seek to appease them with "bipartisanship", or will deadlock things into an intensified culture war using the filibuster.

As for the division in the US, you have to understand the different types of communities. The most obvious is the difference between a big city, a smaller city, a suburb and a rural area. In rural areas, people tend to know each other very well in their small community, they tend to have similar values, similar lifestyles and look similar, so outsiders with different mindsets, looks or values can be perceived as threatening that, not understanding what the rural community perceives as true "America". In a big city, there are so many people and most you will never know on any personal basis, there are so many people with different values, different lifestyles, different looks etc. and because you see so many people different from you, you will ignore most of them yet also have a more tolerant attitude to people in the big city with different viewpoints. Also, people in a big city tend to move about a lot, are cosmopolitan, and have less roots in the community, have almost everything of value very close by. The difference in present day USA between living in a big city (that's huge on a global scale) and living in a small rural area is almost like living on different planets. Then there are the smaller cities and suburbs, which are in between the big cities and rural areas when it comes to outlooks.

But on the other hand, there is Vermont, which is very rural on the whole, yet liberal. Even when Vermont was a Republican stronghold for well over a century until just over 30 years ago, it was a liberal Republicanism, and they shifted towards the Democrats in Vermont once the Republicans nationwide became far more conservative.

The Democrats don't tend to win the smaller working class rural areas and a lot of the suburbs because the people there know that the Democrats are not really on their side. Will they sort out their economic problems? No, they won't. They will play more political games on Capitol Hill with the filibuster, waste more taxpayer dollars on foreign wars. These Democratic politicians basically don't have any real clue about the suburbs and rural areas, and the slower pace of life in these places with proud roots. They just feel safe in the big cities and the cosmopolitan culture stuff, which they use to whip up culture wars to divide the working class as much as the Republicans do.

A serious opposition to Republicans would fight conservatives to the death, and the DINOs like Joe Manchin. Not just on culture wars, but by economically going after big business and taxing them severely, by introducing things like a nationalized health service free at the point of use.

Kids could fill labor shortages, even in bars, if these lawmakers succeed​


Lawmakers in several states are embracing legislation to let children work in more hazardous occupations, for more hours on school nights and in expanded roles, including serving alcohol in bars and restaurants as young as 14.

The efforts to significantly roll back labor rules are largely led by Republican lawmakers to address worker shortages and, in some cases, run afoul of federal regulations.
 
My friends, it's called "fascism". Madeline Albright called it a few years back in a powerful book warning that the tactics of Mussolini, Hitler and more have used to divide, imprison and set up autocratic dictatorships that history records but GOP politicians try to remove from the educational system. My father survived a POW death march in Nazi Germany. He died a few years ago and would be appalled at the public support of the racist nationalism the GOP expounds!

Fascism would be the smashing of the labor movement by a frenzied base like the Proud Boys or some such. That was done early in Nazi Germany by the SA (Stormtroopers). They went for the Communists first, then the Social Democrats, and then illegalized the trade unions on May 2, 1933, replacing them with the state controlled "Strength Through Joy". The SA themselves were later purged in June 1934 during "The Night of the Long Knives".

As Pastor Martin Niemoller said "First they came for the communists, but I did nothing because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the social democrats, and I did nothing because I wasn't a social democrat. Then they came for the trade unionists, but I did nothing because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the liberals, but I did nothing because I wasn't a liberal. Then they came for the Jews, but I did nothing because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me, and by then there was nobody left to stand up for me".
 
missouri AG doesn't seem to know there's a difference between civil and criminal stuff... police chief has to school him on why his demands won't be met
“It is the Board’s constitutional duty to enforce the law and ensure that children are protected from these dangerous experimental gender transition interventions,’ he wrote.

He said that supporting the City Council’s resolution “would not only harm children, but would also be a flagrant violation of the Board’s legal duties.”

In a statement responding to Bailey’s directive, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves explained that the legislation purports civil, not criminal, penalties and thus does not involve police enforcement.
“These provisions are outside the jurisdiction of the Kansas City Missouri Police Department (KCPD),” said Graves, according to the Kansas City Star. “I want to assure Kansas City, we will continue to serve all the members of the community equitably regardless of race, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.”
