It's not cynicism. It's fact. In 2008 when McCain became the nominee the Left skewered him. Only when it was obvious to the the brain-dead that McCain wasn't gonna lose and hey "defended Obama" in the final days did the New York Times people and the liberals who USED him come back to him.
Bush WOULD do it for Clinton.
In 2006 when Jeb entered the primary, look it up- a courtesy call was made from the bUsh camp - to the Hillary camp out of respect.
George W was very OBVIOUS in not supporting Trump - he didn't malign him. He didn't endorse Biden nor Hillary. But - his support was muted - this at a time when George P Bush needed MAGA in Texas and might still need MAGA in the future.
What you miss- is having a country. You don't have one any longer and you never ever will. Is it your fault totally? No. Mine? No. Ours? YES. And in the meantime -my side has grown even more comfortable in the arms of MAGA. And your side - continues to carve up America with every hyphen you can think of. Race wasn't enough. Sexual orientation wasn't enough. Now it's gender and pronouns.
And look - in recent history, BIBI and VLADDY and CHINA have exploited your political tribalism. BIBI spoke to Congress against Obama's wishes. Vladdy, well, enough said. While both your parties bowed to China....it was the Dems who did tons for them, looked the other way on things like Los Alamos, or Clinton fundraising with the Chinese.
So you could have your "attack" - with all the interventionism you still want to do, sure you'll get attacks, and they will be sort of deserved. Your common enemy? The Left was glorifying Gorbachev and calling Reagan an idiot - -- sounds real familiar.
So yeah, you people could get a deserved prize from someone you let into your country out of political correctness (Ask the French....they've had some sexy times with it.....lol, yes, lol). BUT....you won't one united next time. Ok, maaaaaaaybe 2 days of yellow ribbons but that's about it.
Tribalism.
Gut the democracy.
Deserved.
Now, let's wait a generation - the tribes in your country will hopefully bring their iNTERNAL feuds with them and play it out not on your streets, but in your halls of elected government too.
It is happening as we speak at the local level in some cases.
My only consolation prize is, I think I'll see it happen to Europe first. And I hope it's severe.
Thenwhat used to be America I consider collateral damage, and still a pretty decent shopping mall that used to be a country.
You can't change this. It's now written in stone.
