Legit dunno how America is gonna get out of this one
America doesn't know either.
Ugh.
Man I've been trying to say this stuff to my family but I always get treated like some naive liberal kid or that I've just bought into leftist propaganda. It's honestly unnerving how unwilling they are to just try and look at the situation objectively. It's always seen as attack on their "team".
It's going to get fucking ugly before anything gets better
>vox yeah no they've already spread so much propaganda before. i'm not gonna start believing them now, especially when this is such a politically charged topic
Watch the video, a credible political scientist who has worked in the field for 40 years is saying this. Republicans have gotten leagues more extreme in both ideology and how they pursue said ideology, while Democrats have stayed much more consistent.

We went for Reagan being a staunch Republican to Bush Jr being called "too liberal" by quite a few Republicans.
That's a pretty good discussion of what's going on. Can't help it will be discounted by Hannity and Carlson with 30 minutes of saying "Well Norman Ornstein is a stanch critic of President Trump and it's clearly the Left that has been radicalizing over the years." *set to repeating video of Antifia fights, stills of Bernie and Cortez, with verbal reminders that the left hates: Christmas, guns, christian bakers, babies, and coalminers*
I identify with the part of the video where they talk about how it's impossible to criticize one party without coming across as a partisan hack. I make a lot of posts shitting on the Republican party but it's not like I love the Democrats, or believe they don't have problems. This is the first year I voted straight D on a ballot. 2016 was the first time I voted for more Democrats than Republicans. I don't feel like I'm moving more to the left, I feel like the Republican party is dead-sprint running towards the right. Hearing someone who has been covering politics for 40 years say that the GOP is going off the rails and has been doing so for years now is fucking terrifying.
I think really anyone who has paid attention to politics, especially policy, and how congress and their president communicate, has seen this insane shift to the right. While it has always been a slow creep, it really sped up during Obama, and culminated under Trump.
Ok. What's your actual argument though?
>Metouker >Furry
Canada or Australia for me probably
Old politicians will leave and new ones will come in over time. It's the same way we've always done it. Just wait and see.
It's not even the right-wing propagandists that make me particularly upset anymore, it's the refusal of any other organization to call them out because, ultimately, they have their hands tied by the same binds. I used to give the media some partiality but like this video demonstrates the whole thing can just go fuck itself.
Who laughing now?
>he gets this flustered over a one word reply
>i'm so flustered fuck it's hot in here
You really could tell it's vox from the title tho let's be real
So how do we correct it? If the GOP as a party is peeling away from the middle ground line, does that mean there is a segment of right-of-center people who don't feel represented by the GOP or did most of them change their views to be more far-right along with the party? If there is a region of under-represented conservatives under the GOP range then doesn't that present an opportunity from moderate conservatives/liberals to appeal to those people and attempt to drive the curve back on course?

Don't do this.
I was relived when the guy admitted to being a soy boy.
HEH i used the arrow thing... im cool now
I really really really like this post.
Idk where the anti-vox stigma comes from. I think while their content is opinionated, it's usually well-researched and professionally done. They have high factual reporting. Seems like just another one of those inflammatory cultural campaigns to discredit media one disagrees with.
