The Democrats had a filibuster proof trifecta for 73 days in 2009 and they passed Obamacare. Republicans spent the next decade trying to destroy it. I'm not saying Dems would do all of what you said, but when they are given the chance they move things in the right direction.

No one stopped them either. Dems and Repub leaders both want this

I hate it, but it's a two party system. You have to pick one.

And you would only be able to pass voting reform through democrats.

He's got 4 years to catch up. After all he has to fund the removal of all Gazans he proposed.

Republicans are the oligarchy

Certainly there is no precedent with fascists doing bad things to children with disabilities, right?

If Conservatives were ideologically consistent they would be against government endorsing ANY marriage. It is of course about forcing Christianity down everyone's throats.

They measure their quality of life by their ability to dominate others. On top of the desire for feudalism for many of them is a desire for theocracy. For them politics peaked at the divine right of kings.

In a democracy the people are the ruling class.

Agreed. It was always just a way to manipulate democratic voters.

It's almost like nothing would change no matter who won and Israel was just a political pawn to help Trump win.

As I have said before Israel was irrelevant to the election as neither candidate was going to act differently. It was only used as a weapon by conservatives to strip votes from Harris.

People who refused to vote for Harris because of her stance on Israel - THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!

It might be worth mentioning that Andrew Johnson signed the Department of Education into law in 1867. It was elevated to a cabinet position in 1979 by Carter from it's previous position within the Department of Health, Education, And Welfare.

The idea that the government has a constitutional interest in fostering the education of the public is NOT a new thing contrary to what conservatives would have you believe. An educated populace is an essential function of a representative democracy.

I'm betting that at some point he will ban killing potentially infected chicken populations because he wants to keep egg prices down.

Who has marriage and birth rates higher than the national average? White evangelicals. This is a gift to the religious right.

Easy. Defending democracy means defending the Constitution. Most of what he wants to do is unconstitutional.

Racism.

Deportation has always been about keeping the US white. The first immigration law in the US was called the Chinese Exclusion Act and was passed to keep Western states white dominated.

I'm the opposite. I was talking to my therapist about being socially anxious. She said I didn't seem nervous talking to her. I told her "No offense, but I don't really care what you think of me so there's nothing to be nervous about."
