The same thing of course happened on the other side too — the origin of the modern Conservative Movement was a "bipartisan" effort to fuse northern pro-business conservative Republicans with southern dixiecrat racists.
That somehow shifted to "liberals need to work with conservatives" which doesn't make sense because there's nothing to work on together if you don't share goals or values. Mid-century "bipartisanship" was considered important because the parties of that era were only loosely ideological!
The "we need bipartisanship!" thing originally began not as a call for liberals to work with conservatives but for liberal northern Republicans and liberal northern Democrats to work together to advance liberal policies in an era where conservative Dixiecrats dominated commitee chairmanships etc.
one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿♂️
if there is a path to either national nonpartisan redistricting or proportional representation, it is going to go through one party or another. but the first step toward it actually happening is for that party to win power, and you go to war with the system you have, not the one you want.
I will say, “The Onion is taking over Infowars” really is one of those “okay, maybe it is going to be okay, maybe we’re going to make it through this” moments.
"The new administration will prosecute and convict the old, criminal administration" is a winning argument!

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.
