"Where was the fearmongering, the pontificating, and the divisive hatred of the LGBT community, poor, disabled, elderly, war veterans, ethnic minorities, liberals, non-Chrisitians, and women and their reproductive rights?" asked Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), who asserted the Democrats were "really bad at this politics thing."
Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie asked, "Where was the infectious pessimism that the United States cannot afford to be a great nation with a modern infrastructure and healthy citizens, but it can sure as hell continue to fund a national military known for shamelessly wasting money with little accountability?"
The GOP often asserts America cannot afford domestic spending programs.

(23,946 posts)That pie chart with the Military devouring most of the pie is NOT satire!
As Obama always says - without Doom and Gloom propaganda what would the opposition to liberal progress be?
Because "progressive", seems to me, also means "to progress", as in strength and scope of a pre-existing thing e.g. - Alcoholism is a progressive disease.
To be progressive or a progressive is not just a label without meaning and definition.
And to be a progressive or a progressive in a political context is NOT revolution...that is another word.
