Itโ€™s interesting that American, British, French and many other countries have politics that are so different and yet share a common link that centrists really arenโ€™t that concerned about far right fascists taking over

So hey, here's a thing I don't think a lot of folks know: That whole "Patient Zero" thing? The French-Canadian airhost who supposedly spread HIV all over America? That's not real. That's not what happened or how it happened.

Unfortunately the only tests I have are ancient, and expired in January. I took one just now even so, and that sure does look like a positive result.

Leaving my front door unlocked while I'm sick, partly so that if I suddenly die my friends will be able to get in when they notice I'm gone, but mainly to make things easier for burglars.

I mean, the AG would not complain or take action if they did that. If the rule is going to exist then the least they can do is use it for good and not only evil.

If the worst comes and death squads roam the streets killing accused dissidents at Trump's order, we will still be told this happened because Democrats failed to persuade Republicans to try another path, and this is legitimate and how the process works.

Joe Biden unfortunately also shares The Assumption. It's why, every time there is a new peak of Republican extremism or abuse, he responds by declaring that he respects the process that led to it. Actually *fighting* Republicans is illegitimate, even if they propose to exterminate their opposition.

That's The Assumption: passing legislation with only Democratic votes is inherently illegitimate, even if they were elected with landslide majorities. Republicans only must always be consulted, and must have veto power over anything they dislike. No matter what elections, or the law, has to say.

In 2010 Joe Lieberman switched sides to filibuster his own law because it was more important that Republicans be allowed to block Democratic legislation if they wanted to than that the majority party be allowed to enact policy they campaigned on and won back to back landslide victories from.

What's even weirder is that this assumption is shared by the Democrats themselves. When Joe Manchin declared he would not vote for anything that doesn't have Republican votes, that was a very explicit assertion of The Assumption. And the Dem leadership loves their Manchins and wants more of them.

The Assumption means that if Republicans want something, no matter how deranged, no matter how absurd, no matter how nakedly evil and atrocious, it is legitimate because Republicans want it. But if Democrats disagree, that would only be legitimate if they persuade Republicans to agree.
