     @bitsnpieces @futurebird 1980s Republicans were the ones who gave us 2025 Republicans. There's a very easily understood causal chain from Reagan to Trump.

     @futurebird Key words: 1980s Republicans. Real Republicans, not what we have now.

     @dalias @bitsnpieces @futurebird Hell, you can go back further, to Ford pardoning Nixon. I’d argue Nixon getting away with his actions, combined with Reaganomics, plus Bush’s endless wars, all led to today’s Republiklan party.

     @gregly @dalias @bitsnpieces @futurebird Pardoning Nixon let all his dirty tricks crowd continue to be involved with the GOP and it's funny how those names keep popping up doing problematic things.
