You left out the protocol of the elders of zion and the backlash it caused against Jews. It's fairly important as a catalyst for some of the 20th century shit.
It's weird, but kind of accurate a lot of times. If they negotiate for an earmark or project, they did technically bring the money in - even if it's something they would prefer not to have passed.
I've certainly been in similar situations at work where we all agree something is stupid, but make sure to get something out of it.
That's silly. They don't want anyone to get it. It's their money as much as it is ours, so of course the reps should be fighting for their districts even if they hope the bill fails.
You can vote against a bill and still be responsible for specific portions of it or how it gets distributed. You fight for your state and district to get their pork even if you disagree with slaughtering the pig.
Go to c/fuckcars. Not sure which instance. The anti-road peeps are consistent and the American ones are progressive and would probably have to be tortured to vote R.
Because it's not a useful strategy. Convince them they're wrong and they'll shame themselves.
