Obstruction

Should we add McConnell's comments about getting Obama out of office, or does that just feed the bullshit proposition we're Obama operatives? --TheLateGatsby (talk) 13:58, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Oh god

I screw up the rollback. I have to manually undo the vandalism now. :( ClickerClock (talk) 08:48, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

I removed what I hope was all of it. Christopher (talk) 08:51, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

About his reaction to the Capitol riot and feud with tRump

Methinks we should add a section discussing that? Maybe also one about his inability to cope with people calling him "Moscow Mitch" or pointing out the fact jokingly suggesting that he's a turtle... --Goatspeed. _{See what I'm up to}CircularRasoning^{My experiments} 19:21, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

We should probably wait a bit, see how things turn out.-Flandres (talk) 19:29, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

The nicknames are only really funny in small quantities. Getting caught up with them distracts from the fact the McConnell is a skilled bureaucrat and political strategist who can manipulate public perception with ease given the right conditions. His feud with Trump isn't so much a disagreement over policy so much as a spat over branding. Trump wants to go full throttle with the fashy shit, McConnell wants to tone it PR-wise back for the time being and switch to a different public face for the GOP. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 19:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Para-fascist

Isn't Mitch McConnell technically a para-fascist? Rational Dude (talk) 19:00, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

No. See Category talk:Para-fascism. We have a specific definition for the category, which it pertains to transitionary-like regimes that have elements of fascism. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 20:19, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

I see, I thought he'd count since he made several racist policies and attempted to gerrymander. Rational Dude (talk) 21:47, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Sure, he has regressive, anti-democratic policies, but "para-fascism" isn't the appropriate label. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 00:45, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for letting me know. Sorry if I made a mess, it was not my intention. Rational Dude (talk) 06:29, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
