Yes, SDS and the Port Huron statement preceded Vietnam. We would have had unrest in any case –but those were issues (alienation, civil rights, poverty) that needed confronting. We didn’t need complete mistrust of government.

Was just thinking how we now actually underestimate how much damage LBJ’s Vietnam War did to the country. It’s how people got into the habit of “insurrection,” no? https://t.co/bM5vlz1AoB

But on the border/Ukraine supplemental House Republicans can just walk away, no? If they don’t like the border provisions , what’s in the deal for them? Biden wants the Ukraine aid a lot more than they do. https://t.co/mhAtA1uq1y

Well, GOPs might want to drop it if it cements in far greater parole authority than they now think the law allows–e.g. if it says the President can parole half-a-million a year. (Less than the unlimited authority Biden seems to claim, but more than GOPs say is now legal.) https://t.co/CWmgto7Mfg

Why don’t GOPs just say what they think will be needed on the border, and if Biden turns them down he can stew in his own mess. What does a shutdown add except give Dems a proven counterattack? Eh, @chiproytx? https://t.co/Gsw2yypJZV

.@DDayen suggests a GOP shutdown strategy might be a political winner for GOPs because even though they’ll lose it keeps the border crisis “on the front pages.” Don’t the millions of illegals streaming across the border keep it on the front pages? https://t.co/dGeOVKBMpl

If the ‘Democracy’ campaign theme works, would we expect it to show up in polls soon? Or is it an in-the-privacy-of-the-voting-booth kind of thing?

If it’s the former, is Biden trying it out now, to see if it’s a winner? And if it isn’t, plenty of time to …. what? https://t.co/de4viSCwmA
