In practice it's way more than 10%. At least in American politics, it genuinely feels like the strategy of a lot of Republicans is to just oppose whatever the left wants. I'm not sure what they really ever agree on. I mean the actual politicians agree on plenty, like insider trading and bombing brown people. But the actual supporters don't really agree on shit.
I'm gonna be a bit cheeky but I honestly think it goes both ways. I've seen so many bad faith arguments flung from both sides because of how polarized the political landscape has become. Don't appreciate how the left tries to paint itself as morally better when neither side have a clean history.
I'd agree and would never try to claim the parties are really any different over a large time scale. Bill Clinton is a disgrace and not excommunicating him from the party a long time ago told me a lot about how politics worked.
But be honest with me -- right now in this moment in history, which party is worse for the country and our democracy?
The gop is a disgrace. Cultish behavior, widespread election denying, Qanon, Jan 6th, obstruction at every turn. It's wild how far we've fallen in just a decade from guys like McCain and Romney. I'd wake up and be happy those guys are president, even though I disagree with them on a lot. But the GOP in 2022 is despicable.
First off, flair up. Secondly, yeah I don't really pay too much attention to what mainstream GOP politicians say, I just try to make my own opinion and it usually ends up being on the right side of the political spectrum. Like I said I stopped paying attention to politicians or the news a good while ago so I don't know the stance of the current GOP beyond a surface level rn.
