"The power to rule America." A tell. Senator Cornyn just revealed

[Baitball Blogger]

how they view the Supreme Court. They intentionally stacked the Court with conservative judges with the ultimate purpose of moving this branch to their political view and agenda. And they know they're succeeding.

So, now they are fighting to keep their advantage. And once again, projecting their own strategy by accusing the Dems of doing something that the GOP is guilty of.

3. Texas-yes, we have the most obnoxious Senator (Cruz) but we are also in the running for #2 (Cornyn)

the most depressing thing for me is knowing that he represents a majority of my neighbors that think like him.....really??

4. we need some good charismatic Dems

Beto has some of that, but hasn't hit the right notes yet.

No statewide Dem since 1994 is really embarrassing.

5. I get mayor of Boulder vibes from Beto.

Dems need to run a Latina for Senator.

6. Conservatives always do that... it is called projection.

I just finished writing about that in another thread.

Conservatives have a definitive world view. They have strong ideas about who should be in charge. It does not include any minority groups or most women. They cannot, however, say that out loud. They attack "Liberalism" as simply a competing world view. It is, but not in the sense that they think. Liberals typically want the best and brightest in leadership roles. However, liberals understand that in government, even the leaders only lead by consent. You do not have a "right" to be in charge in Liberal thought. Therefore you serve in your role and then you leave when your term is up or if someone different or better is chosen in your stead. Ideally, that decision is made without specific discrimination against a person by race, gender, sex, etc... but on their qualification. Certainly sex, gender, sexual orientation, should be considered as part of adding to the diversity of experiences and opinions that are valid to inform a person's judgement and the way they see the world. The difference is that Liberals tend to embrace those diverse views while Conservatives see them as invalid and dangerous (dangerous to the hegemony of the White Christian Male point of view that has dominated society).

They project their own desires onto Liberals. They say "Liberals want to dominate society because THEY want to dominate society. Liberals certainly want to have a society where equitable distribution of power and resources is the norm. If you characterize this as "dominating society" then I guess so. I (and I know I am biased) tend to see it more like setting a framework in which society operates so that the vast majority of people have their needs met and the share of power in society doesn't skew drastically toward smaller groups (usually wealthy people) at the expense of everyone else; OR that the rights of traditionally marginalized people, are not trampled by the majority.
