Orval Faubus/Ross Barnett 2024!
Joke. This is a joke.
If only George McGovern had chosen Strom Thurmond as his running mate he could have beaten Nixon!
Few people realize what a powerhouse ticket Mondale/Jesse Helms would have been in '84.

Another doozy from the great patriotic conservative lovers of American history who don’t know the most basic facts about it.
The low hanging fruit of “racist Democrat Stephen Douglas” was right there for the taking too.
They say you can teach the Declaration of Independence, but I dunno, sounds kinda divisive to me. ImageImage

Before vaccines were available, one United Airlines employee per week was dying of Covid. Since instituting a vaccine mandate, they report that none of their employees has died of Covid.

The alchemy through which the GOP transforms Carlyle Group multi-millionaires into regular guy, outsider populists is truly a wonder to behold. washingtonpost.com/local/virginia…
Today's update on the "moderate" Youngkin.
Who better to help the GOP rebrand as the party of the working class, the party of angry white suburban parents, and the party of anti-foreign intervention than a guy who made hundreds of millions off of (in part) defense contracting?

Voter ID laws are a "solution" to a non-existent problem. It's like saying "it would be terrible if Emus were driving cars, so let's pass a law saying you have to carry proof you're not an Emu in order to drive a car. Who could disagree with banning Emus from driving?"
Surely this is a coincidence. ImageImage
Anyway, the GOP that hates it when liberals overgovern by passing laws to solve non-existent problems seems to be very fixated on passing voter ID laws that are designed to "solve" a non-existent problem (other than the "problem" of too many non-white people voting, of course).

I watched a live stream of this very small event (maybe 100 people there?) and saw an "election fraud expert" tell an elaborate version of the big lie & call the Biden administration illegitimate. He then said he was part of the Oregon GOP's "election integrity project."
One of his "arguments" was that mail in ballots (an idea pushed by OR Republicans in the 1990s, often with Democratic opposition) was the reason why Republicans haven't been elected Governor in a long time. Uh huh.
He made several unsubstantiated claims about election fraud in Oregon, as if that's why Trump or the GOP/QAnon Senate candidate didn't win the election. So anyway, someone who claims to be working with the Oregon GOP "election integrity" project spoke at a Proud Boy rally today.

There's a really important moment in this conversation between Michael Barbaro and Liz Cheney where Barbaro puts his finger on the larger problem with the political culture of the GOP and Cheney just totally dodges it. nytimes.com/2022/01/06/pod…?
Barbaro points out that Trump has been telling "the big lie" since before he was elected in 2016, with barely a peep from Liz Cheney. But then suddenly, after the 2020 election when he did what he'd been doing all along and what everyone knew he'd do, she's "shocked, shocked!"
The thing that Cheney (and the few remaining, reality-based Republicans) can't wrap their minds around is that the politicians are now the political arm of a Trump/Fox/Bannon/Breitbart/Daily Caller/Daily Wire/PragerU MAGA media complex.
