I’m not going to bat for the GOP vote on this, as they appear to lack a counter proposal of any kind. It seems like a “price controls bad!” sort of reaction which, while not entirely false, is an oversimplification which doesn’t lead to any solutions.
Remember the time when the government would provide assistance directly to affected people instead of engaging in corporate welfare?

more like “the perfect storm.”
A storm describes a natural accident. Covid lockdowns were deliberate.

But what does it say about the U.S. generally if citizens become comfortable accepting lies about how elections are rigged before they even occur and regardless of what the outcomes are?
It says people have lost confidence in the government to work fairly.
That kind of sentiment is far more dangerous to politicians than the people.

What if heavily armed minority groups or militias refuse to accept the results of the next election?
Then hopefully Pelosi's replacement will use the National Guard. Also hopefully the DC cops that let people in are no longer working in the capitol.

Isn't this a bit more problematic than Democrats mincing words about what a "recession" is?
Absolutely not. We are still going through another 2 years of a power grab by DC and their lobbyists for a continued massive wealth transfer based on the lie that "it's in our own best interests." Denying what they are doing gives them the authority to continue to do this for another 2 years.
If the administration came out today and said we are in a recession, how do you think the public would react to a massive tax hike on GDP investment?
Probably not well I would imagine.

@Danielle
and I've voted for some Republicans since then too (city council, board of ed)
I hope you did so very carefully. I have no faith in Republican central planners to act in the best interests of the public.

Lol I never have :D In fact I think you are an anomaly from the typical New Yorker.
I hate public unions.
Me too!
But if it makes you feel a false sense of superiority

More dominant---75% vs 45%--- and serious --Iraq war {thanks to Cheney and dumbass Bush Jr. with Republicans.
Yes. Those Republicans exhibited the same unique misinformation as the OP outlined.

@ebuc
Sorry, this thread is all about how misinformation uniquely applies to Republicans. So anyone caught in a lie will henceforth be rightly called a Republican.
Even Peyton Manning who is registered as republican, which may also be misinformation according to the OP.

53 GOP senate seats and 235 house seats
Might be more depending how the markets react to investment tax hikes.
Cause nothing says "recession relief" quite like investment taxes.... loud and clear.

When one has no valid argument, deflection is the only option.
So just keep pretending it was never said. Noted.

Corruption is a cancer: a cancer that eats away at a citizen's faith in democracy, diminishes the instinct for innovation and creativity; already-tight national budgets, crowding out important national investments. It wastes the talent of entire generations. It scares away investments and jobs.

Face it, you're just as pathologically partisan as everyone else, and certainly more so than me :)
Ha! How about you list every Republican you ever voted for in your life and I will post every Democrat I have voted for in my life. Let's see who has the longer list.
I'm not sure you really want to do this!

while saying positively nothing about Trump's gaffes,
Why would I? He is an ex-president with no power over me.

Don't watch, don't care either.

Actually only see clips when Tim Pool reposts some.

Lying about crowd size doesn't affect me nearly as much as lying about my personal economic state. Sorry babe.
Trumpkins are far too brainwashed
So you will be appropriately and genuinely surprised when DeSantis is your next president?

"the federal government should be able to do whatever it wants"
That is the default. If you have control of a standing army, you can do whatever the fuck you want that a constitution doesn't restrict.
And the 2nd Amendment means the Federal Government can't use its army to destroy the Constitution. It's kind of a stalemate.
At this point I think you are trolling me... no educated person in truth thinks this is not the case.
Not anyone I know TBH.
