Democratic Leaders Call for a STRONGER Republican Party. Why??

Biden and Pelosi are determined to strengthen the party of white supremacy. Why not boost leftists instead of fascists?

If there’s anything you can count on in American politics, it’s that establishment Democrats will go out of their way to praise the worst Republicans. The latest example is Nancy Pelosi paying tribute to Ronald Reagan: “It might come as a surprise to some of you that the president I quote most often is President Reagan.”

Pelosi: “It might come as a surprise to some of you that the president I quote most often is President Reagan,” she told the crowd. “The good humor of our president was really a tonic for the nation … the gentleman that he was.”

In recent weeks, Joe Biden has heaped praise on Mitch McConnell, thanking him for being his friend, calling him a “rational Republican” and a “man of word and man of honor.”

Breaking News: The Republican Party officially declared the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol “legitimate political discourse” and censured two of its own members, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, for investigating it. https://t.co/h05eFfHvs1

Joe Biden trying to appeal to Mitch McConnell on guns, calling that bigoted piece of shit a “rational Republican” and a “man of honor” is an absolute waste of time and the administration knows it. Bipartisanship does not work with Republicans. They do whatever they want.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has fully rehabilitated George W. Bush and his band of war criminals, while punching left at every opportunity. Barack Obama has used his post-presidency to repeatedly warn of the supposed dangers of leftists. Yet somehow, the Republicans who carved the path for Donald Trump (The Lincoln Project, Bush, Cheney, etc.) are embraced and lauded by Democrats.

George W. Bush and his neocon warmongers used #September11 as an excuse to launch a brutal war based on lies, killing, torturing, and maiming an untold number of people. This is what the Democratic establishment did in response:
