    Michael Tracey Retweeted Chris Hayes

    GOP complaints on debt/deficit were utterly central to their entire political posture under Obama; spurred the Tea Party, supposedly; animated their legislative strategy. But all along, it was just the rhetorical trick they employed to seek and exert powerhttps://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/960914469181444097 …

    Every single last thing GOP said about deficits/debt and austerity under Obama was obviously bad faith AT THE TIME. But for those who pretended not to see that, well....

        Yeah, that must explain why they're entirely mute about the alleged significance of deficits after having had a fit about them for 8 years.

        Because the Tea Party was overwhelmingly animated by cultural grievance that used economic concerns as a convenient pretext

        I feel you can say that for the modern day version, too, minus a few swing voters are not the case. View economic concerns through lens of race. A purely economic program might not be enough to push past grievance. Without doing the dirty work: “not the fault of immigrants”

        No, I'm not, but then again, I didn't spent 8 years screeching in bad faith about deficits.

        We on the left need to be much more savvy than to routinely accept that framing, far too often we concede the premise and then retreat to pearl clutching next time the right is in power, shocked and chagrined that they never gave a fuck about ‘balanced budgets’.

        And now, they're laying the groundwork for future austerity.

        Lolololol, imagine that, Tweedle-Dee Dee Democrats and Tweedle-Dee Dum Republicans exchanging sincerity for power. Likely Mr Hayes hasn't considered the possibility he's made the same bargain.
