$47.385 Billion to agriculture subsidies in 2020 alone. That would be trump. $20 billion annually on fossil fuel subsidies not including unfunded cleanup costs. But since republicans love the uneducated your position makes sense.After all the middle class can pay for in the whole context of inequality. To support the largest gap in income inequality in US history. Its the middle and lower classes that take out student loans. The wealthy pay cash. How Trump Took the Middle Class to the Cleaners

You forgot to throw "christian fundamentalism" into that equation. Dark money and Leonard Leo together with Stephen Miller. Have crafted plans to use redistricting, the courts and the nomination process to radicalize politics. Think Mitch McConnell on steroids. The democrats just don't have anyone prepared to use dirty tactics to subvert the vote. Don't have a long term strategy to have America's representation, its courts reflect every voter. Soros gives money for social causes. For democracy programs. Leo and Miller will use a knife to disembowel democracy for their conservative agenda. Now they have the money, the secrecy to deploy it as they see fit and the SC to feign impartiality.

Likely a slip of the tongue referring to the current GOP strategy to corrupt the government from within.To create a GOP fifth column within it. Through: :"The red states are moving social policy sharply to the right within their borders on issues from abortion to LGBTQ rights and classroom censorship, while simultaneously working to hobble the ability of either the federal government or their own largest metro areas to set a different course. “The only time I can recall in American history even remotely like this [divergence] was after the Civil War when the separate but equal doctrine began to emerge” across the South as a backlash against the attempts of the 13th, 14th and 15th Constitutional amendments to ensure equality for the freed slaves, says Donald Kettl, the former dean of the public policy school at the University of Maryland and author of the book, “The Divided States of America.” He added, “It’s a multifront war with very sharp swords.”

In contrast with America this was a coup and dictatorship of one. In America trump enjoys full party/popular support. In Australia most people seem to be rejecting these actions. In America republicans would be cheering in the streets, in the house and in Congress.

REPUBLICAN RULES OF DEBATE 1. Ignore facts. Lies, misdirection, throwing unrelated issues into the equation all work. 2. If you're wrong never admit it. Instead feign ignorance or amnesia. 3. Pause for laughter after each racist/bigoted statement. 4. Keep mentioning how intelligent, educated and wealthy you are. 5. Every 4-5 answers throw in Benghazi. 6. Mention his/her poor/hardscrabble upbringing, or a parent who “worked every day of his life.” 7. Claim a positive relationship with a minority. Also known as the, “Some of my best friends are…” 8. Be sure to state at least twice “I’m not a scientist.” 9. If #2 - #8 don't seem to be effective see rule #1

Below from Wikipedia There is so much going on with this woman that its difficult to understand. She has authored several award winning books. It all seems completely at odds with what she did with her son. "Dawn Dumont is the pen name of Dawn Marie Walker,[1] a Plains Cree writer, former lawyer,[2] comedian and journalist from the Okanese First Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada. In addition to her books, Dumont has performed as a stand-up comic. She was a story editor for the animated APTN program, By the Rapids, and she wrote regular columns in Eagle Feather News and the Saskatoon StarPhoenix.[3][15] Dumont has served as the Executive Operating Officer of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) since 2016. In 2021, Dumont, as Dawn Dumont Walker,[16] ran as a candidate for the federal Liberal Party in Saskatoon's Saskatoon-University riding.[17] She lost but received ten percent of the vote.[18]'"

Good catch! I pay little attention to the subjects or nuances of his republican imbued posts so I'd have never noticed that.

Called trolling. Its not hard to find the answer. Feigned ignorance of the obvious is the first clue. Right Brent?

Furthermore the rules and laws of debate are irrelevant. When the foundations of facts are wrong, misplaced and laid by the irrational.

From the "History Channel"" In contrast to the NRA’s rigid opposition to gun control in today’s America, the organization fought alongside the government for stricter gun regulations in the 1960s. This was part of an effort to keep guns out of the hands of African-Americans as racial tensions in the nation grew. " From the NRA website No mention of what you suggest. Although I was never a republican I was a NRA member for about five years. "On the crafting of the Second Amendment at the Constitutional Convention It was in response to the concerns coming out of the Virginia ratification convention for the Constitution, led by Patrick Henry and George Mason, that a militia that was controlled solely by the federal government would not be there to protect the slave owners from an enslaved uprising. And ... James Madison crafted that language in order to mollify the concerns coming out of Virginia and the anti-Federalists, that they would still have full control over their state militias — and those militias were used in order to quell slave revolts. ... The Second Amendment really provided the cover, the assurances that Patrick Henry and George Mason needed, that the militias would not be controlled by the federal government, but that they would be controlled by the states and at the beck and call of the states to be able to put down these uprisings."

I could have gone on and on, i.e. the famous " $1 Trillion trump Infrastructure Plan" etc. but brevity is necessary when having a discourse with conservatives.

Barre Seid has donated $1.65 billion dollars to a GOP linked political group. To fight abortion, fight taxes, fight climate change together with other GOP trumpish policies. The donations all tax free is the biggest in US history and larger than the biggest 15 donations to democrats in all of 2020. The money dumped into the Marble Freedom Trust will be used to attack democrats in future elections. America has permitted and legislated a "golden rule" winner take all political system. Now republicans have the gold..er..cash to rule.

2017-2019 republicans controlled the presidency, the house and the senate.The first since 2005. "I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall." “A Trump administration will stop illegal immigration, deport all criminal aliens, and save American lives.” "We have at least 11 million people in this country that came in illegally. They will go out. They will come back — some will come back, the best, through a process. They have to come back legally. They have to come back through a process, and it may not be a very quick process, but I think that’s very fair, and very fine." “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.” “We will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers, the forgotten people. Workers. We’re going to take care of our workers.” "On my first day in office, I am also going to ask Congress to pass 'Kate’s Law' – named for Kate Steinle – to ensure that criminal aliens convicted of illegal re-entry receive strong mandatory minimum sentences." "End birthright citizenship." On and on and on. Instead stacking the courts and the largest tax cuts in corporate history was the agenda. Anything else?

Only in your own mind. Or play with himself.

So you're saying that evolution will gradually kill off republicans and trumpists? That there is hope?

'After decades of civil war, the Arizona primaries mark a decisive swing in the state GOP’s balance of power. The center-right, pro-business wing of the party led by the late Sen. John McCain and Gov. Doug Ducey has been defeated, at least for now. Finchem and other far-right outsiders — the original tea party activists and the new Trumpist hard-liners — have taken over. “We drove a stake through the heart of the McCain machine,” Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake bragged, while making a stabbing motion, at a CPAC event following the primary. “We threw together a rag-tag team of nonpolitical people to run the most exciting campaign in the country. And we won.” There is a SC regular who oft posted that trump id gone. The link above shows the danger to America of trumpism. Oh! and Kari lake above: Kari Lake Backs Candidate With History of Racist, Anti-Gay Slurs Oh trumpism is alive and well. Thriving in fact. So Brent's ideas and statements is trolling? Nope just the underbelly of racism and trumpism in the new political landscape.

From another trump endorsed GOP wannabe: "Former Giants running back Herschel Walker is skeptical about evolution. The Georgia senate candidate shared his confusion during a Sunday visit to Sugar Hill Church in Georgia. His inquiry came just under an hour into a service that lasted roughly 82 minutes. “At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not?” Walker asked churchgoers. But Walker seems to be under the impression scientists believe modern-day apes turn into people. “If that is true, why are there still apes?” the Republican candidate wondered. “Think about it.” There is a reason why trump endorsed these two men. They appeal to his base and 'I love the poorly educated'

So Rudy Giuliani then!

GOP contortions of the mind are akin to a snake getting tased.

FIFY

Republicans are now talking about disbanding the FBI. Perhaps if Cox can stall his legal troubles like trump he can get off if trump is re-elected. Just switch parities and voila. Instant celebrity, GOP votes and a presidential pardon. Gotta love the party of personal reprehensibility.

Very suspicious. But you may be forgetting there are ; "Trump won 74,222,958 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. That’s more votes than any other presidential candidate has ever won, with the exception of Biden." Brents in the US.

Yes " The Iraq War is a study on how a superpower defied the opposition of the United Nations Security Council and failed miserably. It was a war of defiance where a new breed of politicians, such as Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld, under the idealistic ideology known as neoconservatism, advocated for the proactive use of America’s military might to pursue what they believe to be America’s national interests. These neoconservatives believe in the promotion of democracy through the force, if necessary. It is unsurprising, therefore, that the moment the United States (U.S.) had reached the apex of its unipolar reign was also the moment that it reaped the collective hatred of much of the world." It never ceases to amaze how the conservative republican mind can re-write history to suit their agenda. To stroke a bottomless ego.

For those who believe facts are important I repaired your omission.
