Apparently Chuck Todd has been captured by Republican Party PR?

Perhaps not so funny, but I said this same thing yesterday in regard to the Texas law relating to abortion.

They just want physical power and control over everyone.

Trumps margin.

How can this gap be closed in the future?

The deregulation part has hurt us immensely. Cross reference this with the thesis found in American Amnesia by Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson.

Which parts of the Democratic party went along with this? Evidence? More of the deregulation parts seemed to be identified with the Republican party.

How does this happen?

Is it the idea of "personal responsibility" and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" philosophy combined with lack of any actual support and/or education?

There has to be a better phrase or word to define the perverse sort of philosophy espoused by many in the Republican party about this sort of "personal responsibility".

It feels somewhat akin to the idea of privatize profits and socialize the losses. The social loss is definitely one that is pushed off onto the individual, but who's profiting? Is it really so expensive to fix this problem? Isn't the loss to society and public health akin to the Million Dollar Murray problem?

Wouldn't each individual's responsibility be better tied to the collective good as well as their own outcomes? How can the two be bound together to improve outcomes for everyone all around?

This is another solid example of the hypocrisy of large portions of the Republican party. Do as we say, not as we do. How far can these laws drift from our overarching principles before there is a schism?

How does this fit into the [[beyond the pale]] idea going from small communities to a much larger internet-connected society?

Interesting.

I've found myself looking at statements from Republicans over the past several years and tagging them as "hypocrisy".

I wonder what the actual overlap of the two groups is?

I feel like this is the general case...

A lot of inflammatory dog whistle rhetoric here (not to mention the poor use of en dashes posing as em dashes).

He calls out destructive repercussions of identity politics, but fails to notice that everyone wants to feel safe in their identity, not just cis-gendered white male Republicans.

He calls out censorship of dissenting opinion while writing on his own website. When did the government censor his opinions or any other opinions? Republicans are so pro-corporation and pro-enterprise, but then get upset when those same great companies enforce basic social norms?

And then, in the same breath: "rewriting American history?!" Perhaps we just taking a more nuanced perspective of the actual truths? Maybe we're hearing the stories and perspectives of those who's dissenting opinions have been not only been censored out of the media, but never allowed in for almost 250 years?

Now tell us how you do both of these things well? What do you think funds a safe and secure community and a strong military?

An interesting example with some inflamatory rhetoric, but coupled with his resignation which is all he has left...

But surely in the multi-millions of Republicans, they could find someone who could also appoint those judges, but not have the myriad moral failings that Trump does. For surely if they can't, then they're doomed to failure and misery sooner or later.

ch 4 Qs

SPQR ch 4 Qs:

1) What is the fundamental principle of a republic?

2) How did Republicans 300 B.C. define manliness? 

3) What is a "libertus"?

4) Explain the difference between plebeians and 
   patricians.

5) When did the plebeians get legislative rights and 
   why?

6) Name the new plebeian freedoms.

7) When was the Republican army centralized and why 
   is that important?

8) What were the differences between the Macedonian 
   army (Alexander the Great) and the Roman 
   Republican army?  

This is written like straight up State Propaganda.

This sounds like a precursor to the idea of republican motherhood. This became popular in the 20th century and used by feminists to support gaining rights, even as republican motherhood is advocating for women to stay home and raise children. The idea is women are valuable because they instill/protect American values in their children and husbands. It seems that Willard and the women we read last week are making similar moves: motherhood is often used against women, but women counter that motherhood is the very reason they need education, literacy, suffrage--so they can become better mothers and protect, not just national, but religious values.
