Bill Barr recently said that given the choice between Trump (EVEN with Trump's acts of sedition) and a Democrat, he would have to vote for Trump.
What values do you think Democrats hold that compel Republicans to put party over country? (What pushes their buttons that hard?)
From a guy who, on a good day, looks (and no doubt smells) like an unchanged-for-months bed.
Yuppers, my hero!
Barr is a piece of shit, no debate. But what makes him favor party over country? Why is he soooo hateful of progressive values??
@racocn8 they interfere with his vision of some New World Order
I don't think it's the values that Democrats hold that's the problem. Democrats want things that would be good for Republicans collectively: clean water, clean air, affordable housing, affordable healthcare, affordable education, but Republicans are stupid, and stupid people are easy to trick into voting against their own best interests. They take a few issues and blow them out of proportion and get people to act on those alone. Mix in some misogyny, racism, and voter suppression, and you have a party that can compete with a party that has platform ideas with overwhelming support. I mean, we're talking about a party with people so fuckin' stupid, they wear shirts that read "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat" which would be relinquishing the one thing those cretins can't ever seem to shut the fuck up about, even though they apparently don't know what it is: freedom. But as long as they can have their guns (which are statistically more likely to harm their own) and keep taxes low on rich people (because apparently all those morons think they're going to be rich soon) then that's the party for them regardless of any of the other bad shit.
I don't know what drives people like Barr. I just don't get it. On the other hand people miss the fact that Trump ran as a Republican because Hilary was running as a Democrat. Let that sink in a moment. Also note that it takes both parties to give us the candidates.
Both parties give us the same kind of corrupt, pre-selected candidates, chosen by the rich and corporations, that they know will serve those groups, rather than the voters, that is why there is not much difference in policy between presidents of either party, except for ID politics and culture war stuff.
