They also do believe in governing. The sort of "they don't believe in anything and only want to win and bash liberals" hysterics that people trot out miss what's actually going on.<br /><br />Washington Republicans believe the purpose of government is to prevent a tyranny of the majority, protect the rights of the individual over the wants of the mob, and to protect economic liberty. If these values end up working for the greater good that's fine, if they cause pain and suffering for some oh well.<br /><br />Where Democrats see life saving regulations Republicans see environmentalists wielding the government as a weapon against an earnest businessman. Where Democrats see a welfare state keeping people out of poverty Republicans see the masses weaponizing the government to rob an upper class to small to defend itself.<br /><br />What Democrats see as governing Republicans see as the angry mob using the government as a weapon of retribution and social engineering. It's terrifying to them. So for Washington Republicans anything and everything is on the table to combat what they view as an existential threat. What Democrats see as destroying the government Republicans see as disarming a violent abuser of his weapon, or at least fighting back against them.<br /><br />Democrats saw a Democratic president win a reelection. Republicans saw a violent drunken abuser come driven home again with his friends egging him on.<br /><br />If you want to know why the press, media, and business gives Republicans a pass on the crazies and the social whack jobs they all look down on... the truth? The press, media, business... they all view Democrats as a mob of angry abusers weaponizing the government against them as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-51510267963934651122013-11-21T11:21:08.112-05:002013-11-21T11:21:08.112-05:00Propaganda as "news" is one of the fourt...Propaganda as "news" is one of the fourteen characteristics of a Fascist, a Nazi, state.<br /><br />No fear.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-51244410925798017792013-11-21T10:58:25.306-05:002013-11-21T10:58:25.306-05:00The fact that this is in a newspaper, with absolut...The fact that this is in a newspaper, with absolutely no asides as to whether any of this is true, or helps the country in any way - sorry, I'm still young and impressionable enough that this blows my mind. Especially coupled with, as Balloon Juice pointed out, a story in the same newspaper about how terribly divisive and partisan it would be for the Democrats to blow up the filibuster for appointments. A news story, mind you; not an editorial.<br /><br />They've so internalized the Republican narrative that they don't even know they're doing it at this point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137423464577067869noreply@blogger.com
