What happens to the Republican Party now? (2 Viewers)

[MT15]

This election nonsense by Trump may end up splitting up the Republican Party. I just don’t see how the one third (?) who are principled conservatives can stay in the same party with Trump sycophants who are willing to sign onto the TX Supreme Court case.

We also saw the alt right types chanting “destroy the GOP” in Washington today because they didn’t keep Trump in power. I think the Q types will also hold the same ill will toward the traditional Republican Party. In fact its quite possible that all the voters who are really in a Trump personality cult will also blame the GOP for his loss. It’s only a matter of time IMO before Trump himself gets around to blaming the GOP.

There is some discussion of this on Twitter. What do you all think?

I would love to hear him put this comment in the proper context

So we all say, “oh, I get it now. That makes perfect sense”

 

[MT15]

I think we get it.

Sounds about right
===============

The former Breitbart editor, far-right commentator and conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has a new title: summer intern for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)……:

Further proof that the radical right don’t really care about pedophilia. Milo has defended in the past adult men having sex with 13 year old boys, saying they are mature enough to make their own decisions. (going from memory here. Should be easily found by Google if you doubt it).

Once may be a mistake but his previous history shows his true "color"

"This isn’t Paladino’s first brush with controversy. In 2016, he said in an interview that he would like to see President Barack Obama die from mad cow disease and First Lady Michelle Obama “return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.” Those comments led to Paladino being removed from the Buffalo School Board."

Yup, we got it the first time.

Fox and the entire right wing media have been playing with fire for years. They have nurtured conspiracies, given lunatics and Nazi-adjacent idiots a platform. Evidently they actually had a feature on the difficulties faced by trans children (this is what was given as the reason for what happened below, I do not know for a fact this is what prompted the backlash.)

Fox may just learn you can’t actually control the crazy:



Also-this is another example of Christo-fascism, for those who have doubted it’s existence.

Let’s make the Republican Party go back to the days of Eisenhower:

Let's make the Democrats go back to Economics class. See my recent posts in the Biden Tracker please.

Yeah, about those.

Honestly, though, Steve, doesn’t it bother you that Rs today don’t seem to want to do anything to help the middle class? Cap insulin costs? Nope. Allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices? Nope. Provide an exchange so that people who don’t have medical insurance can afford it? Nope. Provide money for veterans? Nope. Strengthen unions? Nope.

Tax breaks for the wealthy? Yep!

The contrast between the Rs of the Eisenhower years and the Rs of today just couldn’t be more stark. I wasn’t raised a member of any political party - my parents never told me what to think, they taught me how to think and their only advice was to vote for the person I think would do the best job, never pay attention to political party.

The Rs of today have just lost me. They’ve lost my vote for the foreseeable future. Going to be hard to get it back - they have betrayed us, they have betrayed their oaths of office.

 

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Yeah, about those.

Let's take a poll and ask America which political party they have more faith in to turn the economy back in the proper direction.

It didn't take me long to find this....
And don't bother with your laughing emojis.
There may be more Democrats on this forum....but most of America will laugh at you as they vote in November.

Congressional GOP Has Biggest Trust Advantage on Inflation

A top Republican said the solution to inflation is to stop electing Democrats. Voters are more likely than not to agree with him.

What Republican policy will reduce inflation? I don't care if people "think" they will. I want to know the policy that will decrease inflation.

I'd be happy to vote for a Republican that wasn't a Trump lackey. But as we've seen, people like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Chris Sununu, or Ben Sasse would get about 5% of the vote max in the GOP primary. Polls still show Trump handily winning with 50% or more of the vote. Next up is Desantis, a Trump proxy who does nothing but wage the culture war and tries to 'stick it to the libs.' I don't think I've ever seen the man articulate an economic policy because he's too busy pandering to the far right.

I don't care how badly the Democrats wreck the economy, I am not voting for an unhinged maniac that attempted to overthrow the government of this country and still insists the election was stolen without a shred of evidence.

On that list, Cheney or Hogan would be the only ones I'd vote for in the general election. I would absolutely vote for any other one over Trump in the primary. Pence would be the one I'd actually vote for in the primary because I despise Trump and DeSantis is the next worst choice on that list.

I would definitely take Pence, too. His political views are radically different than mine but at least he comports himself with dignity and did the right thing when it would have been easy to fall in line with Trump's lunacy.

Faith is useless for determining facts.
