The many ways the political right and left have flipped.......

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

…The GOP went from being the Reaganite anti-Moscow party to becoming a pro-Russia party.

…Anti-Trumpers went from demanding that the election’s anticipated results be honored and accepted, to protesting the election outcome.

…Trumpers went from preparing to protest the anticipated election results, to demanding that the election results be honored and accepted.

…Trumpers who would have been absolutely livid if an ‘adversary country’ like Russia hacked the election in Hillary’s favor, are cool with Moscow hacking it for Trump.

…Some liberals who criticized conservatives for colluding to make Obama a one-term president, are now planning to pull out all the stops to make Trump a one-term president.

…Some truth relativists who said that truth was relative and denied absolute truth, are now angry over the prevalence of fake news and hoaxes.

…Some moral conservatives who criticized Bill Clinton’s marital infidelity and portrayed themselves as the defenders of traditional family values, are now OK with having someone like Trump in the Oval Office.

…Some Republicans who obstructed Obama, are no doubt now going to decry Democratic obstructionism.

…Some liberals who wanted expansion of executive power and decried “state’s rights” under Obama, will no doubt suddenly call for limited executive power and begin championing state’s rights under Trump.

…Some Republicans who criticized the high cost of a Democratic presidential inauguration are OK with the high cost of a Republican presidential inauguration, and vice versa. Some Republicans who criticized Obama’s golfing and trips to Hawaii, are OK with the needless cost of police protection for Trump Tower in NYC.

And Trump hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet. What else are we in for?

Excellent. Another entire thread devoted to false equivalencies. Haven’t had any of THESE so far in the election season!

3

Good list.

Many should take out the beams in their own eyes.

4

The Republicans are NOT a pro-Russia party–only Trump.

5

Please show definitive proof that any of these allegations are true. Or in other words: Cite?

You only read the title of the thread, not the list you’re questioning, right?

This, at least, is not true. Just before the election I started this thread in which I said

And bucketybuck replied:

So already the protest was there. Democracy really does seem to have broken down in America when both sides are ready to cry, “Fix!” if their candidate doesn’t win.

Remains to be seen by how the GOP acts in Congress. So far, it’s been a very milquetoast response to the intelligence reports. Think Congress will press Trump on our NATO obligations? Weakening sanctions related to Ukraine? Push his cabinet nominees on Russia?

So far, the GOP response to pretty much everything Trump has been “Oh no, we’d— what, huh? Oh, okay… yeah, let’s do that then”. No reason to think Russia will be different for them.
