1/ Trying to get a broad historical picture on Republicans (from at least 1965 onward) & all I can say is 1994 was squandered. Maybe Newt didn’t foresee demographic picture (census won’t hit til 2000). Or maybe he did, I don’t know. The issues of his day were highlighted in...

3/ the mother of all opportunities within his first year: a bunch of foreigners knocked over the twin towers. Combining that w/ what (and who) ushered the GOP into power in 1994, how do you NOT pounce on that? Take that football & run w/ it. But muh racism. But muh cheap labor.

7/ What a mess. Fiscally irresponsible, internationally irresponsible, domestically irresponsible. God damn George W Bush & all the rest of them. All of those fuck ups & what do we have to show for it? “Whites will be a minority by 2045”. Well played GOP. Well played. /end

What prevents the GOP from doing anything now? Go 51 votes in the Senate. They still refuse to do anything.
