Nah, it's to blame democrats after they win seats in the midterms. It sets up the GOP for another presidential run.

it doesnt set the democrats up. they'll just fuck it up by not doing anything about it. the cuts are easily rolled back if congress critters give a shit. but they dont so we give them the opportunity to fix the problem and they just spend 4 years shitting on the toilet saying 'look at how great things are now that we're back' while things just continue to get worse.

Exactly, that's why the GOPs game plan has a chance of working. The GOP are very good at long term, strategic thinking. Look at all the damage they've done through slowly gerrymandering and through all the grooming of judges through the Federalist Society. The DNC has never thought long term like that.

you're assertions are predicated on the democrats not being willing participants in this process. hint: they are.

I'm not making any assertions. I'm making observations.

[–] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

your entire post was an set of assertions. sorry you feel that you were just making observations.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Noting the damage done by gerrymandering and the Federalist Society is clearly an observation. No assertion needed.
