Tim Miller: Inside the New Republican Party

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 15 июл 2022
  • From 2000 to 2022, one thing is certain: What it means to be Republican has changed. To former Republican political consultant Tim Miller, the GOP started down a path to disaster in the early 2000s. Lack of strategic decision making within the Republican Party at that time set the stage for Donald Trump to take over the party Miller once loved. He now seeks to answer a simple question: “Why did normal people go along with the worst of Trumpism?”
    Tim Miller is an author, activist and consultant who has held many positions within Republican campaigns. He has served as co-founder and political director for the advocacy group Republican Voters Against Trump and director of communications for Jed Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign. During his time in the Republican Party, he served in a variety of positions, including co-founder and executive director of the opposition research firm America Rising and “forensic analyst” for Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 presidential campaign.
    In his new book Why We Did It, Miller cuts through the past two decades of political shifts, compromises and decisions made by the GOP that he says set it on a collision course with Trumpism and led to the events of January 6. Giving an honest look at his own work in the Republican Party, Miller uses raw interviews, forgotten history and personal accounts in a biting, darkly satirical retelling of the transformation of the GOP, leading up to his eventual departure from the party in November 2020.
    Join us as Miller recounts the roadmap of how we got here, and what the story of one of the greatest party shifts in American history can tell us about the future of the nation.

    JD Vance's book shows his tough childhood, the help he got, the social services his family relied upon, and then his fortunate accident ending up at Harvard, then ends with saying governments never solve anything, people shouldn't avail themselves of government assistance, and everyone can bootstrap their way to success as he did.

      Right after all the help he received he pulled himself up by the bootstraps. Why is their such hypocrisy in the Republican Party? Is it because Fox News just let's them lie on air? I just watched a video where two men on Fox News said they testified to the Jan. 6th committee that Trump had the National Guard on alert on Jan. 6th. Then they played the actual tape of their testimony and they said the exact opposite, but will Fox watchers every hear the truth? Of course not.

He's also hilarious! I see him on MSNBC all the time because I also love Nicolle Wallace's show, Deadline: White House. I find disentangled former Republicans to be very insightful, politically.

    Basically, what is being talked about here is the same thing that is happening to the Catholic Church and even evangelical churches and I am a perfect example of it. You don't grow up conservative in a small town, then get an education, travel around the world and live abroad and stay in the same limiting conservative groups you grew up in as a more enlightened member. You just leave. Unfortunately, the effect that is having on a lot of organizations around the world is that what is left, is more and more narrow minded, conservative members. And it just keeps getting worse. As more become disenchanted and leave, eventually all that is left is the dregs. And when these organizations finally start scraping bottom, they create a lot of trouble until they finally burn themselves out or are eliminated. That seems to be going on now with the GOP. It will probable stop when the older generation that still clings to it is finally gone.

      Trump won because the GOP does not listen to their voters, only to their rich donors. Their voter base was SCREAMING they wanted a NON POLITICIAN.

Stipulating that these have alway been parties of, by and for the capitalist class, and that reactionary, nativist, conspiracist politics stretches back at least to the old Anti-Masonic Party, and arguably earlier into colonial times, the beginnings of the recognizably modern GOP brand as we know it start really begins with the John Birch Society in the 1950s, which later gloms onto the Goldwater campaign.

He didn't win the popular vote in either election. In 2016 he was running against Hillary, so he didn't win that election, Hillary lost. Biden didn't have that hostility that Hillary had, so he won and I can't believe that Biden's age is so big a concern that people would vote for Trump instead.
    Since Jan 6, so many Republicans have turned against him. 95% of his administration wouldn't vote for him again. How can he possibly be ahead in the polls?

    The classical role of government is to tax away economic rents and use it to lower the cost of production. This is done through subsidies for such things as public infrastructure, education, and health care, not raising the cost of living and therefore the cost of labor, as with monopolistic privatization.
    The problem with economics as it is understood in America, is that there is no distinction between wealth production and wealth extraction. Production of goods and services speaks for itself, but monopolies and the banks (FIRE, finance, insurance, and real estate) extract what is called economic rent. In the US, economic rent is counted as an addition to GDP, when in fact it is an extraction from GDP. The free market Adam Smith talked about is free FROM economic rent, not free FOR economic rent.
    This is Industrial Capitalism (China) as opposed to Financial Capitalism (USA), and it is what the conflict is really all about.
    American democracy is entirely theatrical with the majority having no more effect on the rentier oligarchy than the Chinese majority on the Communist Party of China.
    If the US was a democracy, we would have a decent minimum wage, public health care, free education, parental leave, and gun control, to name a few, all by the expressed will of the majority.
    By definition, an oligarchy is a form of government in which power is held by a small number of people. Republics are a type of democracy in which the people elect representatives to create and vote on legislation, rather than voting on that legislation themselves.
    We have institutionalized opposition at best, not representation at all.

    Americans Living in Poverty in January, 2009: 43,000,000
    Americans Living in Poverty in November, 2016: 49,000,000
    Americans on Food Stamps in January, 2009: 30,000,000
    Americans on Food Stamps in November, 2016: 49,000,000
    American Homeownership Rate in January, 2009: 67.5%
    American Homeownership Rate in November, 2016: 62.9%
    American Labor Force Participation Rate in January, 2009: 65.7%
    American Labor Force Participation Rate in November, 2016: 62.7%
    American Union Members in January, 2009: ~16.1 million
    American Union Members in November, 2016: ~14.6 million
    Since 2008, all of the gains in the economy have gone to the top 10%, ALL of it, with all but a small fraction of those gains going to the top 1%. NOTHING for the bottom 90%!
    Obama betrayed us. He ran on “hope and change”, and we believed him. Unfortunately for us, the “change” was that instead of the very top getting MOST of whatever economic growth we had, they would instead get ALL of it. That was the “change”. The “hope” was that we would not notice that.
    We noticed.
    The result was Democrats lost seats at all levels of government from 2010 all the way to 2016, where we got Trump. Obama almost lost in 2012, and probably would have if not running against Mr. Bain Capital.

Like right now trump's decisions hurt the USA here and around the world so Biden had all that and COVID and many things to fix that takes time. So many again are listening to the republicans. It's really sad. Most republicans are for top top 1% and corp. And democrats are more for the needs of the majority and the future like climate change and people's rights. Republicans claim to be against big gov. But try to control everything regardless of what the majority wants or need.
