What happens to the Republican Party now? (1 Viewer)

[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 learned something today:
I had no idea Paglia was a lesbian and that she approves of pornography, drugs, and very kinky sex. She goes as far as to say child pornography is OK. I cannot endorse her views on sexuality. The only thing I can accept about her is that she is a lesbian and not a man hater.

Me thinks you didn't know much about her (I didn't either, but then again I didn't call her my 'favorite' anything )

So your person that you displayed as an example of a model feminist you didn’t know this about? Where’s your depth of knowledge? Her pedo views was how I knew the name, but the rest of her twisted views took me less than a second to find.

Now my next question is how does a strong independent female all of a sudden become a man hater? I mean feminism simply is a drive for equality in every area. How does this equal man hater? Either you are caught up thinking fringe people are speaking for all (although your choice isn’t exactly mainstream) or you have exactly no confidence in dealing with highly educated driven females. Or both.

Insulting remarks are not allowed in this forum.

First of all, if you took offense to my question, then maybe learn about someone's background before trotting them out as some kind of shining example of your absurd notion of what a feminist should be.

Secondly, you should talk about making insulting remarks. You've been insulting our intelligence since you joined this forum.

Please provide an example of an insult.
Having a different perspective is not an insult.

I don't have a favorite feminist. The one that came to mind was Paglia. Now I do not have a single favorite feminist.

Your acrimonious tone is over the top. I suggest you lighten up a little bit.

 

[Saintamaniac]

My favorite feminist is Camille Paglia

You literally said the words quoted above.

Your acrimonious tone is over the top. I suggest you lighten up a little bit.

Your habitual lying is over the top. I suggest you start making factual statements.

That is dishonest.
I said I liked her before I learned she was a sexual pervert. You lie on purpose and hence this discredits your integrity.
I ask again: Why are you so angry and acrimonious?

You being proven wrong or ignorant (which has happened too many times to count) is not an "insult"....

 

[brandon]

That is dishonest.

Quoting you is dishonest?

How is it dishonest? he just quoted 2 things you posted within hours of each other (if that long)

Favorite implies you know something about it

It would be odd if I said the Saints were my favorite team and this is the year Drew Brees gets his second ring

You can say that John Wayne movies are your favorites and I'd genuinely believe you if you said that you weren't aware of the things he's said (it's certainly not brought up much or what I'd call common knowledge)

But if you said that Bill Cosby is your favorite comedian but were somehow completely unaware of his situation, I'd question that and you

I've never heard of Camille Paglia so I don't know if it's a John Wayne or Bill Cosby scenario

 

[Optimus Prime]

In fact this is like we were having a conversation about black comedians and race and you chime in with

"Bill Cosby is my favorite comedian. He doesn't talk about race in his act. He doesn't do white jokes or racism jokes. In fact he tells blacks they need to act better" (Which he did)

Someone brings up what's been going on with Cosby lately to which you respond

"I don't have a favorite comedian"

And when someone points out that you absolutely said that Bill was your favorite you say "that's dishonest"

Or, that they don’t stick to it. Everyone is a mixture of good and bad. Cosby’s comedy is good, and through the years I enjoyed. However his personal life is reprehensible. Such is the same with say Darren Sharper. Obviously a guy I wouldn’t want to be associated with in any way. However, I can still respect the job he did in our super bowl year.
So if he was a fan of that person, at least defend the positives that they do have.

I did not know Paglia was into kinky sex and that she favored kiddy pornography. Until recently I did not know John Wayne was a big time racist. I did not know LBJ used the N word regularly in the white house even though he did some good things.

 

[Saintamaniac]

That is dishonest.

If you are any kind of man, you will offer an apology for this statement.

You picked a feminist that other feminists criticize and said she was your favorite without knowing anything about her.

She is as famous for her opinions on sex as anything else, so it's is not credible that you would have actually heard of her before and not known about her opinions about child sexuality.

I'm not saying you knew about her opinions on child sexuality, i am saying that you don't know anything about her other than you heard she is a feminist that other feminists don't like.

You ave been added to ignore status. You do not post in good faith.

I'm sorry I showed that you lied were not forthright in your posts. You can ignore me. Unfortunately, you can't ignore your posting history.

Do we have an "Idiotic tweets by Republicans" tread? Is that every thread? I guess I'll just put this here. Rubio is such a tool.

Rubio is a lightweight, I agree. But, why is this news in a major network? This sounds like tabloid cheap gossip
