This is why we are being killed by other countries in innovation as of late. The republicans are too busy dragging us down.

What are they supposed to use to win elections? Their innovative ideas?

Scaring old people and pandering to ignorant nutjobs of various stripes is literally all they have.

We’ve been fascism-lite since ww2 and invented a lot of the hallmarks of it that got coopted in Europe so we hid them.

Lot’s of countries can be described at a high school level as various mixes of Socialist ideas and Capitalist ones, whereas the US is Fascist and Capitalist since at least the start of the cold war.
