Political Factoid
When viewed collectively,
this collection of political
factoids has acquired
more than a hint of an
anti-Republican tint
during recent years.*
This has been caused by
the cumulative effect of:
- The job-killing Republican
economic policies and
un-paid-for Bush wars.
- The massive Bush tax cuts
for the wealthy and the
Great Recession that ensued.
- The Republican obstructionism
and bigotry that began in
January of 2009.
- The stop-paying-the-bills
of the Tea Party Caucus
starting in 2011.
- The voter restrictions of
the Freedom Party Caucus.
- The ALT-right invasion
of Donald Trump in 2015.
- The self-destruction of the
the Republican Party in 2016.
- The supermassive tax cuts
for big corporations and
the wealthiest individuals
at the end of 2017.
- The Trump tariffs of 2018.
- The government shutdown
of 2019 and repeated
Trump obstructionism,
quid pro quos, etc.
- The blind worship of
Donald Trump in 2020,
inspite of a tragic reponse
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The rulings of the stacked
McConnell-Trump Supreme
Court in 2022.
- The lockstep takeover of
the Republican party by
the Christian Nationalist
movement to crucify
democracy.
- The facist movement
spreading throughout
the Republican party
and the drive for
autocratic control
led by Donald Trump.
- The lower voter turnout in
2024 and the take over
by Donald Trump (again),
this time without any
guardrails.
- The kowtowing of Republicans
to the never-elected, most
wealthy American immigrant,
and defacto President, Elon
Musk. prior to the 2025
inauguration.
- The unlawful, revenge-oriented
wrecking ball of the second
Trump administration and
its minions.
- ... and lots of things in between

Not so much of a liberal bias, but
more of a centrist, pro-democracy
view than today's Republican
ALT-right and MAGA extremes.
