re: #251 mich-again

I agree for the most part that is how he is governing. I’m not so sure the Democratic base is right there with him. Its easier to keep the loons in check when your party is in power. Look at the 8 years of GWB. The same crazy people on the right now were here back then but the GOP kept the craziness in check at least a bit. Not now. Those days are over.

It’s a popular misconception of the right that the Democratic base is Code Pink or the ‘loony left’. Not so. It’s not even the progressives.
FWIW, I didn’t consider the theocrats to be the base of the GOP…but that and the so-cons are all they have left, and they’re doubling down on it. Unfortunately.
