Bill Kristol... tweets back at Newt Gringrich




Ridiculous. Biden, Pelosi and Schumer won't end America as we have known it. For better and worse, they are America as we have known it for decades.

Our choice this fall is not between President Trump and President Perfection. It is between President Trump and a nightmare that would end America as we have known it.

He may be on the outs with the current admin, but what happens if Republicans nominate Dewine or Sasse in 2024?

It's a propaganda meme anchored in racism and expanded to liberalism in general. My aunt, retired now, who has a PhD in history for Christ's sake, has actually been reduced to living a life in fear of exactly that: America as we know it will end if democrats are in control.

And she was an intelligent, firebrand liberal growing up in the sixties. But then, a marriage to a right winger about 15 years ago and ever since Fox News, right wing radio and web sites. Now she lives in fear. Not just concern or disagreement, but actual fear.

That's exactly the shit Gingrich is trafficking in. He knows that.

Don't forget his pioneering "let's create our own reality" word list. Lot's of more in depth articles about this, but here's a quick one: https://propagandacritic.com/index.php/propaganda-examples/newt-gingrich/

He's still at it.

And last I checked, it happened on Trump's watch.

And hopefully something much better emerges when Biden is president!

That reptile is still full of shit 25 years later.

Hypocritical pig! He screwed around with a mistress/future wife but wagged his finger at Clinton. Now his wife is ambassador to the Holy See? Another fucking hypocrite.

Would they prefer they don't say anything about Trump?

Yes, they were Republicans. Some may still be. People are allowed to be Republicans.

They are also some of the strongest anti-Trump voices out there.

I don't get the disdain against them.

Maybe in 2024 they will go back to being Republicans, but right now, why don't we want their voices?

Nicolle Wallace is one of the most searing voices against Trump on a daily basis on a national TV network. She reaches people that a circle jerk on DU or Daily Kos won't.

Why wouldn't you want these folks attacking Trump?

... as we knew it. It has taken all these years to recover from Newt Gingrich, and we're still not there yet.

Please just go away and stay away Mr. Gingrich. We are so DONE with you!

trump alienates our allies while cozying up to murderous dictators and conspiring with a foreign country to undermine our democratic process, and democrats are going to end America as we know it?
