I get what you're saying. And this might just be adding to the pile of depressing stuff, but I think this underplays the severity of Republicans moving toward outright authoritarianism and fascism by rallying around a burgeoning crypto-fascist. Make no mistake, though; I hate the political convenience of liberals cozying up to neocons like dikk Cheney too, especially when it comes to foreign policy in the Global South. Principles are why I just can't help but care, even if I dislike how liberals have drifted rightward on war. It's a binary choice after all.
I don't think this is "Political convenience" at all.
I think the problem we all have here is that liberals are completely unwilling to admit that Liberals barely resemble themselves from 8 years
ago let alone 12 years ago.
Obama ran on "Hope" and "Change".
Codification of Roe was a talking point.
Getting out of the middle east was a talking point.
Various talking points on healthcare, housing etc. all of these things were prescient at the time.
Now we're right BACK to the same issue.
Wars in the middle east.
Roe v. Wade ratified.
No real healthcare option.
Liberals openly embracing the Cheneys and various other republicans that they strived
to DIFFERENTIATE THEMSELVES FROM JUST 12 YEARS AGO!
It needs to be emphasized how far Democrats have moved TO THE RIGHT.
Because it's NOT just Republicans.
