That is one way to look at it, but the Republicans have been playing only to old white men since Sarah Pallin would wink at the old codgers.Squatchman » 02 Jul 2023, 9:19 am » wrote: ↑ The Supreme Court really **** conservatives this past week.
It just alienated everyone but old white men.

Brand loyalty must account for why anybody remains a Republican today, that’s not an old, white, evangelical Christian man.
But another way to look at it, is the GOP is playing the only hand it really can play.
If you look at demographics, the nation is getting browner by the year, more educated, more urban, wealthier, and less Christian. Of those trends continue the GOP will eventually be a local party in the poorer states, and then in time it will just sort of fade away.
But today, the GOP is like a cavalry troop in the movies surrounded by hordes of Indians. They’ve not won the popular vote at all since a close race in 2004, and not carried a national race by large margins since Ronald Reagan in 1984. They are the minority.
So they circle wagons and yell the Trannies are coming, the wokesters are on us, they’ll take away our pronouns, boys!
And what few there are rally.
But in the real world, there won’t be a relief column come riding over the hill, at the last minute.

Today, I am urging the Biden Administration to implement a Plan B immediately to cancel student debt for tens of millions of Americans who are struggling to pay the rent, put food on the table, and pay for the basic necessities of life.
Despite this legally unsound Supreme Court decision, the President has the clear authority under the Higher Education Act of 1965 to cancel student debt. He must use this authority immediately.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court voted to overturn a Biden Administration program forgiving up to $20,000 of student debt per-person in this country.
In my view, this decision is not only deeply flawed legally but it is way out of touch with where the American people are. Student debt forgiveness has the support of the majority of people in this country, and for good reason.
Now, I would love to tell you that the Supreme Court is an impartial judicial institution whose decisions are above politics. That was perhaps once true, but it is certainly not the case any more.
Remember. Thirteen years ago, in the disastrous Citizens United decision, this Supreme Court ruled that billionaires can legally buy elections. And now, the Supreme Court has made it clear that they will continue doing everything possible to protect the big money interests against the needs of struggling working families.

What does that have to do with blacks getting special considerations?
