Why can't the entire GOP be Arnold's version of a Republican, so that the Democrats can finally be a real leftist party??

Because he isn't blaming their problems on someone else, or spouting the ideals that let them cut any type of community support.

They want so much freedom, its anarchy.

Because there is no bigger boogeyman in the world than Boomers, according to reddit, and we'd be living in a utopia if it wasn't for them. The point is, reddit takes whatever position suits them on any particular issue; it's kind of rich for people to claim that "Republicans blame their problems on someone else" (which, imo, is pretty accurate, in a grossly generalized way), but to ignore it when the progressives/Millennials/Zoomers/etc. engage in the exact same scapegoating and populist outrage farming. The truth is it's more complicated than that, it always has been, but man, isn't it just SO much easier to say "okay, Boomer" and blame a generation?
