THIS STARTED WITH GOLDWATER IN 1964-65 AND THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY, THE DECISION TO APPEAL TO RACISM TO GET ELECTED, INVITE SOUTHERN DEMS TO SWITCH PARTIES—IT HAS WORKED van

“During the Obama administration, Cheney was a Fox News regular who, as was the fashion at the time, insisted that the president was secretly sympathetic to jihadists. She enthusiastically defended the use of torture, dismissed the constitutional right to due process as an inconvenience, and amplified the Obama-era campaign to portray American Muslims as a national-security threat.

Until the insurrection, she was a loyal Trumpist who frequently denounced the Democratic Party. “They’ve become the party of anti-Semitism; they’ve become the party of infanticide; they’ve become the party of socialism,” she said in 2019. Her critics now, such as Scalise and the buffoonish Representative Matt Gaetz, formerly gushed over her ability to bring, as the Times put it in 2019, “an edge to Republican messaging that was lacking.”

1. "They've become the party of Socialism"

Repeated by despicable RePuQ's since the 1930's, if not before.

That shit is so old it's ridiculous. But these assholes NEVER stop reprising their Greatest Hits, do they?

All I can think of is that they think 'NEW' sells. So they revive this nonsense as something that's just now happening. Over and over and over.

I would say that RePuQ's are the party of Fascism, and have been so, for the last 90 years or thereabouts.

They are not 'becoming' it, they have BEEN that.
