The Betrayal: How Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans Abandoned America - Ira S Shapiro Audiobook
Shared by:cryotag
n two previous highly regarded books on the U.S. Senate, Ira Shapiro chronicled the institution from its apogee in the 1970s through its decline in the decades since. Now, Shapiro turns his gaze to how the Senate responded to the challenges posed by the Trump administration and its prospects under President Biden. The Founding Fathers gave the US Senate many functions, but it had one fundamental responsibility–its raison d’etre: to provide the check against a dangerous president who threatened our democracy. Two hundred and thirty years later, when Donald Trump, a potential authoritarian, finally reached the White House, the Senate should have served as both America’s first and last lines of defense. Instead, we had the nightmare scenario: today’s Senate, reduced through a long period of decline to a hyper-partisan, gridlocked shadow of its former self, was unable to meet its fundamental responsibility. Shapiro documents the pivotal challenges facing the Senate during the Trump administration, arguing that the body’s failure to provide leadership represents the most catastrophic failure of government in American history. The last section covers the Senate’s performance during President Biden’s first year in office and looks forward to the 2022 Senate elections and beyond.

So, can I ask anyone here how Trump has so profoundly affected their personal lives? Just interested….

@icemaiden: how about the million dead from Covid? At least half of those are due to Trump’s “It’s a hoax”/”drink bleach”/”masks are for fags” policies.

I find it easier to ask why so many still cling to the every word of a compulsive liar, multiple felon, wannabe fascist dictator as if their lives depended on it?

@icemaiden Perhaps the people convicted of sedition after 6th January 2020 having been encouraged by Trump to be so reckless might have had their lives profoundly affected?
I find it interesting to wonder what has led an increasing fraction of the Republican Party to abandon Trump and his campaign for 2024. I wonder what changed for them? What would it be like to have believed in Trump and then lost that belief?

Working overseas as an engineering professor during the entire Trump presidency diminished my pride in being an American and changed my political identity from right-leaning to center-left. Trump didn’t so much change America as expose its fundamental hypocrisy to me and the world.

The women in the US are in big trouble with how they have allowed certain forces to brainwash them into supporting things that are not in their own interests and have been making their lives empty and unfulfilling for the last twenty years.
If you keep voting for this cryotag, you deserve what you get. Wake up, how have those promises panned out in your own life? How much joy have your truths brought you? We folks under 40 are never going to own a house, we are nothing but Russian serfs. You happy with the way things are?
