We have a regular political party, and one that appeals to the worst instincts of human nature to keep itself in power. It seeks and keeps political power solely for the sake of power itself and for catering to the interests of a small group of ultra wealthy people who fund it. It has no coherent political ideology except indulging in culture wars and slashing taxes for the ultra wealthy.
This is the root cause of the so called enmity – there is only one normal political party facing a cult driven by ignorance and insanity.
Well, Ramirez, what would you do if the guy in charge kept cutting off your microphone whenever you tried to speak to the state assembly?
That’s how your guys, the ones you vote for, run things when they’re in charge. Are you proud of that?
Legally elected state representatives COMMONLY have microphones cut off when addressing the assembled representatives. Is that how you think government should be run? Is this the exemplar of how DEMOCRATS should do it when they’re in charge?
Says the cartoonist who by and large supports the political party (Republican Party) that is constantly sowing the seeds of division and hate and have it as their actual party platform. And no, the Republican Party is not, and truth be told, never really was the party of Lincoln. Read the actual history of the party (Foner) read the actual history of the Abolitionist Movement (SInha) and you will see that the what we are seeing in the part now has been their since the party’s inception in 1856.
Lincoln said the USA is so strong and powerful that no country nor coalition of countries could, through force of arms, take so much as a drink of water from the Potomac or beat a trail through the Adirondacks. If America is to fall, it will be when Americans turn against Americans.
There has always been political enmity. People working for their own self-interests to the point of keeping others in slavery, preventing all fromsharing in the rich fesources of this nation. But it does seem like things have reached fever pitch now.
There are 147 Trumpublicans in our Federal legislature. They all voted against accepting Biden’s win. These people are either stupid, crazy, cynical opportunists, or some combination. Throw in some greed and arrogance, and you have a group that should not be running a popsicle stand, much less holding high office. Vote for them and their Orange Hero at you and your country’s risk.
IF fair, and accountable elections was wanted, there would be a photo registered ID presented at the time of voting. There is 14 months to do it before the next election. Tie it with driver’s license. That can be completed in 4 months.For those with no driver’s license, you’ve got 10 months to get to city hall. As a U.S. citizen, voting is more than a right, it is a responsibility. It will probably take another 3 years to get all the ‘bugs’ out. By 2028 there would be no questions.
Liberals be like…Milk and eggs are $7 dollars, It cost $90 to fill up my car, Crime is surging, I’ve had 19 boosters but still got covid, but hey, at least my president isn’t Trump.

Another fine piece of work by Ramirez. Watch all the political enmity that spews forth to prove the point.

Get rid of Trump, the MAGAts, and the Freedom Party and it’ll largely go away.

“Yes, THOSE guys are wrong!”
“Perfect description of THOSE guys!”
“THOSE guys will say things to prove your point!”
“What would YOU do if THOSE guys did this!”
Listen up friends, Mike is talking to all of US guys.

And Fox News said, “We’ll get right on that.”
