REALLY?!? So the now we excuse the unbelievable behavior of Cheetolini by saying Obama made him possible? I am so tired of the both sides stance on every issue and the MSM accepting it and propagating it - that I almost cant watch news anymore. Lets stop with this right now - he and his administration lied about RUSSIAN involvement in the 2016 election, he is a trader to this country, he and his administration should be behind bars and would be if not for the GOP enablers!

(15,137 posts)And I'm going to step into my catty suit here briefly -
Who the hell does her makeup??? She looks like an old time definition of a prostitute. Hideous. She's not an unattractive woman, but the bubble gum pink shellac she puts on her lips is awful.
OK - I'm back.
Meghan McCain is definitely a waste of space and airtime. And oh good grief! She's procreating!

Since so any hosts, commentators, etc., are self-isolating, they have no stylists, no wardrobes, no make-up artist. And on some, it is quite evident Colbert was self-deprecating a couple of weeks ago when he imbed his hair to the other side, revealing a receding hairline.

(11,742 posts)Nixon ushered in the culture war. He hated hippies and civil rights protesters. He attacked the anti-war protesters and talked about the "silent majority". That was the beginning of the culture war. With Roe, he was able to fire up the Christian dominionists and get the evangelicals into politics. His use of the Southern Strategy set up the backlash against civil rights for decades to come.
President Obama had the nerve to be Black, super intelligent, competent, compassionate, and better than anything the Republicans had come up with in the past 50 years and will ever come up with. He started the "jealousy war". The culture war had been going on since the 1960's with conservatives (both Republican and Dixiecrat) trying to hold back human progress.

(9,670 posts)If by merely saying it you blow a gasket, that is.
Actually, Obama reached out to Republicans only to have his hand bitten time and time again.
It's time to shut the fuck up. You brought Trump into the party, little lady, and continue to make excuses for him, when none are deserved. You are the enabler. Obama? He was your foil. That's all he was to you. Your foil.

(6,008 posts)With the southern strategy. reagan expanded it by ginning up the abortion debate, and dubya upped the ante with the evangelicals. The problem is that you can only defer the whackjobs and fundies for so long before they demand a seat at the table, and before long, they're the ones running the party. That's where we are now.

(37,161 posts)... it started there. It started before you were born and conservative Republicans have been steadily amping it up over your entire lifetime. You're the proverbial frog in a pot, so close to the situation you notice the water getting hotter and hotter, heading for boil, until it was too late. It's as if you're blaming one of the frogs before you for the heat because it caught on started kicking and splashing to get out.
Newt Gingrich? Rush Limbaugh? Never heard of those guys? The now-nearly 30 Years' War against Bill and Hillary Clinton? Rings no bells?
The real question is whether you were too sheltered or too blind to notice.
