Bring Cupp back soon and regularly. I know there will not be an answer to this, but what was the face with Chris Murphy? Also, my husband asked: "Is it just me, or is her makeup really good?" I explained the luminous finish to him., but in retrospect, I should have sent him to the lifestyle mailbag with that. But as long as we're here, e…

I explained the luminous finish to him., but in retrospect, I should have sent him to the lifestyle mailbag with that. But as long as we're here, excellent haircut, you, and I liked it the other day, too, kind of spiky. Not saying you should stay one way, just saying.
Meh. I'm willing to listen to Sarah occasionally wax nostalgic about the good old Republican conservatism of her youth when her hatred of Bill Clinton about the tawdry Monica Lewinsky episode made her head melt, because Sarah's political insights and her fundamental philosophical outlook that we must build an anti-Trump (not pro-Biden) coalition to defeat the return of the Mad Orange King are dead on. I barely tolerate Mona and A.B. going off on some tangent about the days of yore and Reaganism. But S.E. seems to regularly jump the shark with both-sidesism. Did you catch her waxing poetic on how "So you've got Democrats arguing about progressivism versus more progressivism." Please give me a break.
I’ve always identified as “liberal,” Leros, but didn’t know much at all about politics until 2017. I’ll admit, I find reverence for Reagan jolting from the very little I remember: “Hey wait, wasn’t he one of the bad guys — good for wealth inequality and bad on race?”
I’m definitely learning to forget and ignore what would have been a point of disagreement in the past, a past in which I wasn’t paying attention anyway, and take a deep breath before reacting to someone’s past or current views on abortion. If someone I admire and learn from wants some restrictions, that’s better than no exceptions for rape and incest, and if they will fight with every last breath against the Big Threat, then they are part of the good guy team.
So being here on the Bulwark has been a huge learning experience, informationally and ideologically, and I am discovering so much more in common with former Republicans than I thought possible, as they discover ever less in common with their former party-mates. What I have true indigestion over, in small, new quarters here, and more broadly in the so-called "conservative" Trump-disdainful most of the time but for the right kind of attention will play both sides types, is the superiority complex about Democrats. Yes, we have problems (Clearly!!!) but the Republican and Republican-ish types who project and generalize in ways that ignore reality really bug me. I am not sure who S.E. is (the person you mention), but I would say in general that it is more difficult to make categorical and accurate statements about "Democrats" now, or historically, than it is to make about Republicans today -- there is more homogeneity and go-along-for-whatever ride in the GOP than in the Democratic party. In the current flavor of Democrat-bashing, particularly in the recent time frame of finding out Joe Biden is cognitively impaired, there's some weird talk about what "Democrats" do that seems genuinely illogical and counter-factual (the bad kind). Sorry for the rant. What was the question?
Oh yes, anyone who will vote against Trump is my friend if they will have me.

Right? Chris Murphy is great!
