But it is now clear that during the last Administration, the IRS began using inappropriate criteria to screen applications for 501(c) status. These criteria included names such as “Tea Party,” “Patriots,” or “9/12” or policy positions concerning government spending or taxes, education of the public to “make America a better place to live,” or statements criticizing how the country was being run. It is also clear these criteria disproportionately impacted conservative groups.”
Indeed, dozens of the careerists and progressive appointees at the Washington FBI, DOJ, CIA, and National Security Council took all sorts of risks to insure a Clinton blowout. They variously sought to warp the FISA court, subvert the Trump campaign, collude with Fusion GPS and its Russian sources, and weaponize the FBI to ensure the Clinton victory — on the premise that their unethical and often illegal behavior would soon be rewarded by the Clintons, who for decades had proven far less ethical than 2016’s miscreant minions.
That is simply telling people what they want to hear.
And compare this section from the article
Trump had a looney idea that millions of the deplorable middle and working classes had no innate advantages accruing from “white privilege” (whatever that still means) — and were tired of being told they did by those who really had clout and connections
to this from his old one on Henry Louis Gates.
When he sneered at the arresting officer “You don’t know whom you are messing with,” Gates was quite right — and so was released almost immediately once the calls came pouring in. In contemporary America, the wealthy and influential Gates, and his close political friends, are part of the establishment — and Sgt. Crowley who arrested him a member of hoi polloi without capital or chums in high places.
And he is the one in the OP accusing the “Left” of identity politics without a shred of irony.
Of course. You’re so far ahead of everyone - all the people who do this for a living - because you read an article that told you what you wanted to read.
These fools thought they really changed the nation into a bunch of cowering white men and a homosexual, racially-charged, and atheist witches brew “majority”.
This BS was all proven to be utterly false a decade ago. Rehashing it for the 10,000th time won’t accomplish a thing.
Obama took this country further left than anyone since Roosevelt crating the 3rd largest entitlement in the nation’s history, legalizing illegals, and circumventing congress at every turn when he couldn’t get his way by going to his pen and his phone.
Well if I’m to believe even half of what you folks have been telling us since his election to be any further right he’d have to be wearing jackboots and a funny little mustache.
He ran on a clear nationalist populist platform, that was the pendulum swing.
