JUST IN: Trump admin to undo Obama-era healthcare protections for transgender people: report http://hill.cm/9dhKF6p
Nice™
 
His entire goal is to undo anything Obama did.
 
12:20 AM
@Wipqozn Make America Lethal Again
 
@Fluttershy it really is scary just how well trump is undoing all of Obamas progress
 
12:35 AM
A lot of stuff Obama did was via executive order, rather than legislation, because the legislature was a complete shitshow for 6 of his 8 years
Problem is that makes it easier to roll back
 
@ToxicFrog oh right because democrats traditionally do poorly during the midterms, right?
 
@Wipqozn that's like two levels removed from what I'm talking about, but yes
A lot of Dem seats were lost in the 2010 midterms, at which point the Republicans adopted a policy of "blindly oppose everything, prevent government from doing anything at all as much as possible"
 
@ToxicFrog as k
In
Damn it mobile
@ToxicFrog yeah that's what I mean
 
So from 2010-2016 getting anything done via legislation was functionally impossible
 
Political nonsense forced a situation where Obama had to do EO to get anything done
Man every member of the GOP really should be in jail for political corruption
 
12:53 AM
@Wipqozn Maybe not every, but definitely the vast majority.
 
@Fluttershy I honestly don't understand how that party exists. I really don't.
 
@Wipqozn Racism and homophobia.
 
@Wipqozn tl;dr after the passage of the Civil Rights Act the Republican party made a conscious decision to build a power base of white supremacists and this has finally reached its inevitable conclusion, c.f. the Southern Strategy
 
@ToxicFrog I know, but just, how is that a viable strategy?
Like it's 2018
That shit shouldn't be so wide spread. Especially in a first world country.
 
Normatively, no, it shouldn't be
Descriptively it obviously is and having an entire major news network basically acting as the propaganda arm of the party doesn't help matters

America was a mistake

@TimStone how many kids were there in Home and Alone 1 & 2?
 
@Memor-X how many were left home alone? 1
and he was 8 years old in Home Alone 1, according to imdb
it's not like they left him home alone on purpose though and they tried to get back to him as soon as they realized their mistake
