Why are Republicans so against capitalism? They get so upset when the market speaks and the market doesn’t like them.

And now republicans are fighting to keep factories and jobs OUT OF THEIR STATE?

It’s a f**king anticapitalist death cult …[/quote]
Today's Rs are just &quot;Christian&quot; (and I use that term extremely loosely) Nationalists, with a hint of racism thrown in.

They support capitalism, but only insofar as the government not regulating business, except when it comes to their jobs. Then they want the government (and I mean Trump) to tell companies that they must bring back the jobs or else.

They support capitalism, but only insofar as the company is not liberal.  To them, sticking it to the libs &gt; country or jobs for their rural town.

They want to go back to the &quot;good ol' days&quot; when white men had plenty of opportunities, when the world had just come out of WWII and the rest of the world's economies were decimiated, and we were the lone superpower.

They can't deal with the fact that the world, as well as this country, have moved on.  It's hard to relinquish your position on the totem pole.  So, they have to twist themselves into pretzels to try to explain away their stance.  It's like arguing with a crazy person. You can't win.  [/quote]

You are describing the crazies and the nostalgic boomers here.  You forgot about all the moderates on BOTH sides who were getting rather uncomfortable with the nutcase direction Democratic party took in the last 2 years.   The "cultural revolution" didn't sit well with them even if some aspects of this "overhaul" they might have supported before.  If you think there are no Dems who had silent freak outs about all the BS "intersectionalist"  Identity crap pouring into their kids heads from BLM days to the current Pronoun craze Trans-revolution (let's undo millions of years of evolution) then you are delusional.  A lot of them are still pissed about school closures, restrictions on kids, and other Covid policies.

The problem with the R party is that the crazies and nostalgic boomers (and I don't think it's just the boomers) have taken over the party.

Yes, there are crazy progressives, but they haven't taken over the Dem party, whereas Rs keep voting in the crazies and putting them into positions of power at the federal level.

I'm not a progressive liberal. I'm actually a moderate, and former R, now I.  I don't support some of the  progressive liberal policies, but I cannot support a party that has allowed crazy people to take over.

At the very least, progressives are trying to be inclusive and provide better living conditions for the marginalized.  Their heart is in the right place, even if their brains aren't capable of thinking things through.

R party, oth, have just gone out full on crazy town.  Just look at the infighting in GA by the R party -- Pence supporting Kemp on one side, and Trump supporting Purdue full-on MAGA-election was stolen on the other camp.  It's like this everywhere.  There is no room for moderates in the R party anymore, whereas I do think on the national level, you can't be uber progressive and win, which is why Biden won and not someone like Sanders.[/quote]
