Translating Republican dysfunction to “government dysfunction” is not only imprecise, it assists the GOP by echoing their message.
@LarryGlickman It’s not “dysfunction” when the branches of government serves as checks on one another.
@LarryGlickman @MelissaJPeltier Yup. NYT wants the clicks, not the truth. Chaos and tfg drag in eyeballs.
US FedGov is: ✅ Dysfunctional ✅ Significantly exceeding its Constitutional authority ✅ Meddling in foreign lands ✅ Putting Americans at risk ✅ Exercising undue control over states via conditionally distributing excessive tax money to states ❌ Honoring the natural, inalienable, and Constitutionally protected rights of individuals. ❌ Acting in a fiscally responsible manner ❌ Preventing inflation by not monetizing deficits. ❌ A good "investment" for taxpayers.
@LarryGlickman Exactly. Mainstream Media’s Subtle Right Wing Propaganda Helped Elect Trump and Lost the House for Democrats, Because We Failed to Face It upine.medium.com/mainstream-med…
@LarryGlickman @HC_Richardson Where Democrats govern and Republicans have no sway, like Minnesota and Michigan, government is very functional.
@LarryGlickman are you not concerned about deficit reduction? not concerned about inflation reduction?
@LarryGlickman Government isn't what's disfunctional. It's Trump GOP It's Trump's GOP House It's republican politics That's what is disfunctional It isn't normal The Republican Party Isn't normal
@LarryGlickman This is of course by Peter "false equivalency" Baker--he writes the exact same both sides "analysis" every single time.
