Someone sanity check me here...

This article (WSJ : https://www.wsj.com/articles/mike-pence-constitution-no-right-overturn-2020-election-electors-senate-trump-biden-pressure-11644171148 )

Starts off with this overly broad, nonsensical claim:

The United States desperately needs a Republican Party that is a sane alternative to the ruling Democrats who have lurched to the coercive left.


Lurched to the left?
HOW exactly?

What laws, programs or reality has lurched anywhere right now? Is the mere mention of Build Back Better enough to warrant this kind of gratuitous, tired attacks?

The part most Democrats would disagree with is that our major issue is not a fictional lurch but an actual stall in the wastelands of centrist fantasy. Politics has morphed (or lurched in the WSJ vernacular) into something far more like a zero-sum game. There is no "middle", no "compromise" - the very act of admitting reality is real is enough to get one drummed out of the GOP and censured...but somehow, the Democrats - who failed to advance Voting Rights legislation OR BBB as a whole - are the problem?

Won't somebody think of the trust fund children????

Just crancky today...must need extra caffeine shot...
Just off the top of my head . . .
Defund the police.
A VP who raises bail funds for arsonists and looters.
DAs who think criminals are all "victims."
School boards who think parents should have no say over their children's education.
An AG who thinks parents are "domestic terrorists."
Media who think Burn Loot Murder riots are "mostly peaceful."
Mayors who tell police departments to abandon their precincts to a mob.

Anything else?

The policies that are indorsed by this party, that they backer of which are much of the 1 percent, causes a social structure much like the one back before the Revolution.

Dems "Voting Rights legislation" is an attempt to federalize all elections by taking away the power from the States. That's not democracy.

BBB is a giant Dem party payoff to their lobbies and, by their own admission, is an attempt to enact legislation by improperly funding it for a year or two and then daring R's to no longer fund it. IOW the Dems would cry when the funding ends in a cheap attempt to gain votes for their party. Dems either need to be brave enough to say "Here's what we want and the total cost for the next 20 years doubled because we know these entitlements/programs never fall within budget" or don't try at all. Quit trying to sneak in entitlements and programs and then use it as a hammer later. That's not democracy.
