This country is so trash



This is so much worst than the first time too. Like he’s getting love-love out here and it’s not just from his regular rabid fans. This guy really broke politics. There are going to be AP courses on Trump’s presidency for years to come.

Jesus Christ. This country

uhm wut? it's a swing district that Trump won by 1 point right?

Why would taking a less moderate position give her better chance in a Trump +1 district?

It's moving more blue with people getting priced out of portland. It used to be safe republican until 2020, so a Trump +1 is still danger for the GOP, but MGP might **** around and either keep her voters home or get primaried.

The thing is, I have no problem with Republicans being “tough on crime” and “law and order” on paper. Too many Americans of all backgrounds need severe behavioral modification.

BUT “tough on crime” needs to be applied fairly. You can’t beat up subway gate hoppers for cheating the city out of $2 while giving people like Trump and Elon the equivalent of verbal warnings for 100000x worse offenses. You can’t preach about “law and order” when Trump supporters violently attack politicians and peaceful protestors. You can’t bash Chicago 24/7 and talk about sending in troops there, while Republican states are allowed to have the highest gun violence per capita.

Well that's why "tough on crime" doesn't work because it is never applied correctly.

Of course. It’s the same with all of the Republican tag lines. Pro life, freedom from government overreach, tough on crime, all sound good until you don’t provide adequate and affordable healthcare for most of the population, you create laws that take away the rights of women/minorities, you let your “donors” legally get away with tax evasion/embezzlement while encouraging police to brutalize people for petty crimes…
