And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state

Maybe there was a bit of projection and/or wishful thinking in Cawthorn's 'cocaine and orgies' story.

'Madison Cawthorn photos reveal him wearing women’s lingerie in public setting'
Photographs obtained by POLITICO appear to show Madison Cawthorn, the embattled Republican congressman from North Carolina who recently accused his GOP colleagues of inviting him to orgies, wearing lingerie in what appears to be a party setting.

Cawthorn, 26, was raised in a conservative Baptist community in Henderson County, North Carolina, and has staked his political persona on arch-traditional Christian principles and the insistence of the importance of a kind of hypermasculinity. His comments about “the sexual perversion” in Washington made on a podcast, which he later admitted were exaggerated, drew the public disapproval and disavowal of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as well as other Republican leaders including those in his North Carolina congressional caucus.

...

“I was raised on Proverbs and pushups,” Cawthorn said in a podcast in September 2020.

“I subscribe to Judeo-Christian beliefs,” he continued. “I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I think if you think about my political ideology, where it really stems from, you know, my ethics and my morals and what I think is right and wrong, you look to ancient Jerusalem, you got ancient Judeo-Christian values. So right and wrong,” he continued. “I also cling to a lot of traditional values and a lot of traditional ideas, because they’ve worked in the past.”

“I think that we have bred a generation of soft men and that generation has created a lot of problems in our society and our culture,” he said in March 2021 on a podcast “designed to reclaim and restore masculinity in a society that is ever more dismissive of what it means to be a man.”

“There’s only one God and two genders,” he said in a tweet earlier this week.

It was the same back then. Can't believe my dad voted for Reagan. We never talked politics again.

He really hated communism. In that fear he ramped up nuclear arms, which Russia could not afford then.

As you know, the history of that is a bit more nuanced.
With access to thousands of pages of Soviet records, oral histories and memoirs, we now know that the confrontational approach that defined Reagan’s first few years in office had very little, if any, impact on Soviet strategic decisionmaking. In fact, the antagonism of Reagan’s early presidency likely prolonged the Cold War by elevating hardline, anti-American voices over those of moderate reformers like Gorbachev.

Reagan’s true Cold War legacy is rooted in his deeply personal diplomatic engagement with Gorbachev. Reagan’s embrace of Gorbachev and praise for his reforms gave the Soviet leader the latitude to enact the political and social changes – perestroika, glasnost, demokratizatsiya – that ultimately caused the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Indeed, Reagan foreshadowed all of this in early 1984, writing in his diary: “If we opened [the Soviet Union] up a bit, their leading citizens would get braver about proposing changes in their system.”

Another common refrain among conservatives is that Reagan simply “outspent” the Soviets. But Soviet defense spending remained flat throughout the 1980s. More significantly, Gorbachev was unalterably opposed to increasing military spending; he fought a relentless campaign by the Soviet military-industrial complex to spend exorbitant sums in response to Reagan’s buildup.

The Republicans never disappoint, especially perennial political thugs like Newt Gingrich. Up is down, purple is orange, deceit is honesty. Anybody who says otherwise is a rotten stinking RINO, or a commie.
Elizabeth Warren attacking Kevin McCarthy over honesty tells you how frightened and unhinged the Democrats are.Adam Schiff has been lying nonstop for at least four years.Biden is either lying or simply doesn’t know what he is saying much of the time. McCarthy will be Speaker
