The 'left' has been the way fo ra while, the right is experiencing a new split
For example, the Evangelicals are having a civil war right now
I don't think the modern right cares about evangelicals
^
Well at least in American politics there has been a new split in recent years on the left with the rise of Bernie Sanders and social democracy as an ideology
You only say that because you are an outsider my dude, and im not trying to be rude
I don't think so, but it's possible
The evangelicals are a major force
I'm not saying they aren't a force
Where do you think McConnell gets his power?
Why the judge situation is such an issue, etc
from the other ninja turtles
oh, and cocaine
Evangelicals are extremely important in US politics, creepily so...
Yeah evangelicals are a massive part of the republican base
Yup, they play large in utilizing the 'letting land vote' strategy
McConnell isn't really the "modern right" though is he?
^^^
That's why they are fighting so hard in NE and Wisconsin right now
havent you all seen the netflix series
"the family"
its literally about evangelicals impact in politics
Well, he's in power. The 'new right' are still trying to get power
Kirk, Fuentes, etc just make a lot of noise
Why don't you like Charlie Kirk again?
The boomers are a huge cohort, it will take another 20 years before they aren't the dominant force
I’m sorry to say but McConnel does not know what he is doing and he is corrupting the senate
I'm indifferent to him besides not being politically aligned with him
Yeah he’s breaking every senate norm
how so
McConnell knows what he is doing, but i agree with the latter point
As a strategist, he is very good
what norms is he breaking
He is just supported by advisors and masked by trump
The situation with judges has stretched back 3 admins so far
Well he’s refusing to vote on bills in the senate the house dems passed
There is a lot there, it would be a whole other convo
He is bifurcating the courts, which is something frowned on
He’s packed the federal courts and supreme court with Republican sympathetic judges
It's the last hurrah for the Evangelicals, because they will be a minor force after 2030 or so
We put presidential term limits in order to give less power to presidents appointing to many jurors but look what is happinig right now
