5) The brand new GOP Congress, with plenty of public support, failed to rein in a Clinton bloated budget.
1) Where we are: This is much, much bigger than a fraudulent election (it was) or rampant gubment tyrannical China Virus abuse (it is).
2) What we are facing has been building for a good 30 years.
3) I date it back to the GOP failure to defeat Clinton in the gubment shutdown.

8) Rather, this is about a deadly disease that hit DC & the patient refused to take any medicine for it.
10) Vote fraud & this frankenstein of an election is only the latest SYMPTOM of this much larger disease.
14) Instead, we have tranny bathroom laws while entire sections of major cities are uninhabitable.
16) We have handicapped children prevented from flying because they cannot wear a ridiculous do-nothing mask.
17) We have soaring depression & suicide.
19) The big, obvious problem, is we have an enemy, China, who has used a bioweapon on us without an ounce of retaliation; a political class
that is either oblivious to China or paid by them . . .
21) We have a Supreme Court that will not even hear a constitutional challenge about the 14th Amendment.
24) We have a Senate made up of old rich people whose only purpose in life is to entertain a lobbyist.
26) We have a dicknipple spooge-spewing hate-mongering Hoax Media that doesn't come without a star system of reporting fact or news.
30) Health systems don't work, commerce doesn't work, entertainment doesn't work, & obviously gubment doesn't work.
33) The SIGNIFICANT will not be made insignificant & the TRIVIAL will never be singnificant.

1) My friends, I will share with you publicly what I've been sharing with many of you privately.
2) The time for faith is not when you are getting your way, when everything is going well, when all your "prayers are answered."
3) That's the exact opposite of faith.

1/ Imagine that as soon as the referendum result the EU announced that it was looking forward to the end of free movement of UK citizens in the EU
2/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those retired Brits in the EU27 could go home
3/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those Brits in the EU could stop driving down wages, taking jobs and stop sending benefits back to the UK
4/ Imagine if the EU said it was looking to use UK citizens as “bargaining chips” to get a better trade deal
5/ Imagine if the EU told UK citizens in the EU27 that they could no longer rely on established legal rights and they would have to apply for a new status which they have to pay for for less rights
Imagine, for a moment, the reaction of the UK Government, Brexiters, and the RW UK press if Juncker, Tusk, Macron or Merkel went on TV to say that Brexit was worth it to stop Freedom of Movement for UK citizens, and to stop Brits being able to come to the EU and jump the queue.

This idea - that elections should translate into policy - is not wrong at all. But political science can help explain why it's not working this way. There are three main explanations: 1. mandates are constructed, not automatic, 2. party asymmetry, 3. partisan conpetition 1/
First, party/policy mandates from elections are far from self-executing in our system. Work on mandates from Dahl to Ellis and Kirk on the history of the mandate to mine on its role in post-Nixon politics, to Peterson Grossback and Stimson all emphasize that this link is... 2/
Created deliberately and isn't always persuasive. Others have to convinced that the election meant a particular thing for it to work in a legislative context. I theorized in the immediate period of after the 2020 election that this was part of why Repubs signed on to ...3/
Trump's demonstrably false fraud nonsense - it derailed an emerging mandate news cycle. Winners of elections get what they get - institutional control - but can't expect much beyond that unless the perception of an election mandate takes hold. And it didn't. 4/
Let's turn to the legislation element of this. There's just an asymmetry in terms of passing a relief bill. Republicans are presumably less motivated to get some kind of deal passed. Democrats are more likely to want to do *something.* 5/
I\u2019m sorry it\u2019s just insane that Democrats are like, \u201cwe won everything and our opening position on relief is $1.9T\u201d and Republicans are like, \u201cwe lost and our opening position is $600B,\u201d and the media will be like, \u201cDemocrats say they want unity but reject this bipartisan deal.\u201d
