The Republican Agenda 2021 and Forward

Didn't watch it. Did the host push back on any of Trump's lies?

Looks like she just let him blort,

(Individual-ONE) criticized his fellow Republicans on abortion … "We're going to agree to a number of weeks or months or however you want to define it. And both sides are going to come together and both sides — both sides, and this is a big statement—both sides will come together. And for the first time in 52 years, you'll have an issue that we can put behind us," he said.​

Apparently, he did not get the full 'hour' but was pre-recorded on Friday, run for part of the show and then reviewed by people on set on Sunday.

Watched a legal analysis of some of the far-right TikToks. Most of them mixed mythology, ideology, law, and the Constitution with a conclusion that is ultimately inaccurate or wrong. One gentleman believes “to fight enemies foreign and domestic” is part of the 2nd amendment. It is not. A lot of them went so far to the right that they passed it and went to the left in support of…wait for it…socialism. Some iteration of “the government needs to help us out more!” and they weren’t talking about tax cuts.

Well, if the government is failing to protect them from trannies and atheists and antifa, it needs to help them out more. I mean how can a proper White guy hope to make а good living when he has to navigate the Straits of Woke, with the girls room on one side and the boys on the other and you have to guess which person in there does or does not have a penis. Arrgh!

One guy went to great lengths to explain how he, a straight guy, wants to marry another straight guy so they can do macho guy stuff together, or even separately and he wouldn't have any expectations or need to check in. I think it was vaguely meant as a diatribe against nagging women which he's fed up with, but I'm not too sure about that...and most other viewers wouldn't be either. He really painted a picture about his ideal life with another straight guy.

It’s not just online quacks and influencers - it’s Mike Pence and Lindsey Graham who want a federal abortion ban, and Pence responded to Trump’s comments about the party being wrong on abortion by asking why we should leave the life of babies up to state legislators.

So now that they’ve gotten Roe overturned, many have dropped the pretense of leaving it up to the states. Up next is a federal abortion ban, and something being unpopular has bet stopped republicans before. And unlike their stupid election fraud claims, this argument does actually have some merit, even if I and most Americans disagree.

Then of course there’s the conservatives in the unions (that I support) and the homeowners in disaster areas who very quickly stop worrying about socialism and handouts when their asses are on the line. Or the ones who get food stamps and bemoan the black parent in front of them paying with food stamps - clearly different situations; the black person is getting a handout, the conservative welfare recipient is just down on their luck and needs a helping hand.

The Republican Party is a party of hypocrisy, false-equivalencies and projection, so it’s not surprising to see them fall backwards and argue against their own logic.
