The republicans only existed since the late 1850's, they took the place of the whig party that split over slavery and a few other issues. After the civil war they were the only game in town for the big money, Lincoln freed the slaves, but he was also a highly paid railroad lawyer too. Lincoln was the high water mark of the GOP, except for Teddy Roosevelt who came down hard on the rich, like his cousin FDR did after him, only as a democrat.

That's a visual dog whistle to fascist and racist, the Nazi hardcore of the party.

That's because most are pseudo Christians, not real Christians and don't know the first thing about their religion. The strain of Christianity they derive from is the blind faith southern Baptist variety, belief and belief alone will get ya through the pearly gates. No need to worry about owning slaves or acting like a prick, just as long as you squeeze yer eyes shut and swaller real hard. Good works and charity won't do you any good, just blind faith works and you can take as much baggage into heaven as you please. The big theological question for most of them is what kind of gun would Jesus own?
They are as blind to the hypocrisy as they are to reality and prey to every form of bullshit, they avoid common sense, reason and the plain truth and become angry when confronted by them. These people are moral failures, whatever they choose to call themselves makes little difference. Like the Bible says you will know them by their actions, not by what they say and votes are actions.

Perhaps the old paradigm should be discarded. Trump's GOP looks nothing like it did a hundred or more years ago. It doesn't look anything like any major party from our past.
In America’s ‘Uncivil War,’ Republicans Are The Aggressors

“The GOP is a counter-majoritarian party now, every week it becomes less like a ‘normal’ party,” said Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University who has written extensively about the radicalization of the Republican Party. “The GOP has to make it harder to vote and harder to understand what the party is all about. Those are two parts of the same project. And it can’t treat its white supremacist and violent wings as extremists who should be isolated because it needs them. They provide motor and momentum.”
“The GOP has radicalized (and is still radicalizing) on its willingness to break democratic norms and subvert or eliminate political institutions. Don’t expect restraint where you’ve seen it in the past,” said Charlotte Hill, a Ph.D. candidate at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, who conducts research on election and voting laws.
Because of this deep conservative antipathy for the liberal version of America, Joanne Freeman, a professor of history and American studies at Yale University, has compared the state of America today to the 1850s, right before the U.S. Civil War.
“Mass violence in Congress seemed possible in 1850. Now, 171 years later, it’s in the national mindscape once again. And for good reason. The echoes of 1850 are striking. We’re at a moment of extreme polarization when outcomes matter, sometimes profoundly,” Freeman wrote in a recent essay in The New York Times.
“The Republicans,” she continued, “whose ironclad grip on the Senate has dominated the federal government, feel entitled to that power and increasingly threatened; they know they’re swimming against the demographic tide in a diversifying nation. They have proven themselves ready and eager for minority rule; voter suppression — centered on people of color — is on the rise and has been for some time. And some of them are willing to protect what they deem right with threats of violence.”
We aren't headed into a Civil War like the one we had in the 1860's but we are headed into a time when somebody with the wrong skin color or bumper sticker is not safe if out on the road at night in a red state. We are headed into a time when majority led government has to protect itself from the radical minority.

I think it might give Joe and the democrats some latitude on policy, most of the GOP base doesn't give a fuck about policy or anything else, they are single issue. Will the stimulus, or even HR1 cost the democrats any votes? Nope There is lots of low hanging fruit with majority or super majority support the democrats can exploit over the next 2 years. Save the hard stuff like healthcare and even immigration until after 2022. You must have HR1 before the next election though and regulation of media would be nice too. In any case the senate prospects for the democrats look good in 2022 and hopefully Joe will have long coattails for the house. I figure Joe will be the democrats biggest asset in 2022, he should have covid beat and many of the problems cleaned up by then.Perhaps the old paradigm should be discarded.

From what I've seen thus far there are no flies on Joe, he is moving as fast as possible within the limits of his power. I think he's got his eye on the senate for 2022 and if he keeps up the good job, he will help the party a lot. It's gonna take awhile to forget Trump and he left many effective opposing grassroots organizations in his wake. Also the unfolding scandals and criminal trials will take their toll, with Donald gone from the picture, it will be interesting to see the outcome. With luck the right will split and leave the field open for a decade, it happened here in Canada with the Tory's and the GOP looks set to explode.Perhaps the old paradigm should be discarded.

I could'nt say that any better myself ,hell of a rant
@WintersBones this was the proposal where the dems had increased from 75k to 100k however the GOP was erroneously making it sound like your children will also be getting the $2k check (this is from one month ago) so they were bitching thinking a family of four was getting $8k..most kids don't have income and go to school if they're on their parents tax return.
so there was fudging from both sides.

now income limits are back to where it was (and should be) last Stimulus.

Three main reasons. Judges, judges and more judges. If they can't win at the ballot box, they are going to try to rework what laws mean.
