Democrats hail Biden's decision to not seek reelection as selfless. Republicans urge him to resign
apnews.com
Democratic lawmakers hailed President Joe Biden’s historic decision on Sunday not to seek reelection, praising him as putting his country and his party before himself. Republicans called on him to resign from office, saying that if he could not run for another term, office, then he’s unable to serve as president.
Biden’s announcement came after more than two weeks of Democrats urging him to withdraw from the race. Nearly three dozen lawmakers had publicly called on him to end his reelection bid. Others had voiced concerns privately about what the ramifications would be for down-ballot Democrats if he remained in the race. When the president heeded those concerns, Democrats called it a selfless move.

Do Republicans just want to destabilize the country until it’s destroyed?
Literally yes. That is fascism. Palingenetic ultranationalism.
SarahPalingenetic?
No, it means it's spelled the same way backwards as forwards.
A palindrome is an arena where Sarah Palin impersonators gather and perform.
Palingenesis: Rebirth, Reincarnation. The term has a distinctively religious connotation, it contains "Genesis" after all.
destroy it and then rebuild it according project 2025, sounds on brand.
I don’t think they want to put the time or effort into rebuilding anything.
The Koch brother's plan was to invest in state races to win enough legislatures and governors to call a new constitutional convention, and have enough anarcho-capitalist stooges to formally reshape the country as their libertarian oligarchy utopia where the rest of us are just indentured serfs.
That's the first time I'm reading of this, have any source?
It's been going on for a while, I believe they were big in funding Tea Party candidates, for example. One the two brothers has since died, though. I just did a google search for "koch brothers constitutional convention" and here are some of the links
Wow, thanks!
Yeah bro, where you been?
They just want to destabilize it until they can steal power, but if anything gets destroyed along the way they'll just blame the libs
Yes
Since Nixon
Conservatives will turn to authoritarianism when democracy doesn't work for them.
They did that a long time ago so why are you phrasing this like it's a future transition?
Yes they do.
A bunch of small to midsized private company owners want to destabilize the federal government so that they only have to deal with state level regulations. These are the types of companies that you have never heard of or didn't realize they weren't publicly traded.
Maga people sure do.
