LOL. Are we really having this discussion? Are we really in a world where attacking women with racist language, prompting people to defend them is considered brilliant? Are we really in a world where defending a native-born person of color from a racist attack is supposed to tarnish you with assumed alignment with their politics?
It's not brilliant, it's pathetic. It's basic, remedial, lizard brain stuff. It doesn't take forethought, it takes only an utter lack of shame and self-reflection, and it certainly doesn't speak to strategy. It's pure id.
Obama's administration actually made some inroads to curbing IP theft, which Trump's bellicose posturing has pretty much undone, but sure - let's keep pretending that whacking someone over the head with a stick, even though it rebounds and hits your own head on each backswing, is "brilliant."
Nope - we agree completely. I've always been a fan of allowing western culture to do it's insidious work and rot oppressive regimes from the inside. People tend to love freedom, the right to express themselves, Coca Cola and blue jeans. But funny how when we start making their lives miserable they band together against us anyway, isn't it?
Attacking some one who is a women is not sexist, nor is it racist to attack someone who is a different race. Please state the exact tweets you considered to be sexist and racist.
There are some pretty clear policy differences that the Squad has compared to the rest of the country, including Dems. As a few Dems said, albeit anonymously, they were all brilliant moves by Trump. Pelosi has been trying for months to separate the Dems from the Squad, but has not been able to do so due to Trump. You may not agree with how he did it, but it did work.
As was said in the past many times before, politics is a blood sport.
On top of that, what has the house down to get any policies through?
They refuse to work with Trump on everything, trying not to give him a win. They created the border mess, by first ignoring it, then claiming it was made up, then recognizing it but refused to give any money to fix it until the 11th hour. And then they were capitulated to go with what ever the Senate passed due to their inaction, a total loss due solely to their hatred for Trump.
Then you have the collusion narrative, that they pushed down our throats only for it to be a total hoax. Nadler and Schiff wasted two whole years of governing where they could actually had down something for the American people.
It's been a loose loose for all of the moderate Dems in the House, and they have nothing to sell their constituents to get reelected. I am amazed they have not yet retaliated against the leadership and started to denounce this stuff on their own. They will probably wait until after the primaries, but it will be too little too late.
Insofar as Obama helping to decrease IP threat, please show me those news articles. I remember nothing of that happening, but could have certainly overlooked it.
For your last point, I am not so sure I understand this. Are you saying the power hungry countries will just whither and die if only we accept them into the fold? Kind of like Obama tried to do with Russia 2008 through 2012? Remember, the 1980s are calling and they want their foreign policy back.
