Republicans are Destroying Themselves

Let's try this. I keep seeing this and here's where I am lost.

Who wants to regulate everything they deem bad?

Who wants to control the media and decide what is disinformation and misinformation?

Who wanted to lock everyone down and force people to get the vaccine during COVID?

Who wants pseudo nationalization of the banking industry?

Who wants a single pair health care system controlled by the government?

Who is in favor of gun control?

Who wants to have the power to take massive amounts of money from the wealthy and redistribute them to others?

Have you recognized that the government is lying more and more everyday? They're putting forth demonstrative falsehoods and claiming they are true with the support of the media behind them. None of this is good and it certainly is an improvement from a president who lied almost every time he opened his mouth.

I could go on and on with this. So even if we say that there are authoritarian tendencies on the right which I do think there are what are you going to do about the left which is extremely authoritarian?

Could it be the perhaps authoritarianism is on the march everywhere on the political scene in this country? In order to turn the tide on what we see going on is going to take freedom-loving conservatives and classical liberals to get out of this quagmire we find ourselves in and start demanding something better. It just feels like on the left so many people are busy being appalled with Trump that they have not recognized what has grown up behind them. It's everybody's dangerous if not more dangerous than anything Trump could conjure up. And I happen to think Trump is very dangerous so that should tell you something...

I'm just saying I think we all need to wake up and stop this partisan bickering and start looking at reality for what it is. We are on a

I'm sorry, I'm never going to engage in discussions with you until you start doing so in good faith. I've never seen anyone more full of shit than you in my life.

At least @TigerGrowls & @PalmettoTiger1 have embraced the movement. You're still trying to deny its existence.

Yea that’s the problem. Primaries give the MAGAs an outsized voice. I hope the results restore my faith in republican voters, but I’m dubious.
No, the problem is that Republican voters and politicians will still vote for him if he's their candidate (which he will be).

Y'all want things to go back to normal? Then refuse to cast your ballots for him, take the L, and kick the extremists out of the party. Otherwise it's all hot air.

I know the dems have extremists too, but it's a much smaller # and they aren't in absolute control of our party. If you say they are, you aren't a serious person.

I’m not voting for him, but I doubt that changes the outcome in SC. But I obviously won’t vote for a high tax, entitlement favoring lefty either.

You will. It's what y'all do. By the time it rolls around, you'll have rationalized away every possible objection, and you'll settle on golly gee I just don't have a choice. You've even started to do it in the post I'm quoting.
 
From the normally conservative side, the best thing that could happen would be an actual indictment or conviction of Trump that would make him ineligible to run for President again (if it works that way).

Get him off the table and get a more sane candidate in there.
I disagree. The best thing that could happen to the Republican party, and U.S. politics, would be for Republicans to reject him on their own. Stop waiting on somebody else to stop him. The Republicans should actually be the party of law & order, of personal responsibility, that they love to claim to be.

Despite their abject cowardice and cravenness, they still have more power to do something about Trump than any other person or entity.

Trump is the best choice for America and the quicker you come to grips with it the better.
 
You've said the exact same thing about many of the sources I've used because the truth destroys your dark, seditious beliefs, so you're programmed to discredit them. But I'll play along - show me how they lied in the article.
"seditious beliefs", wow, that is even too strong for your normal post!!
 
Who are you going to vote for that isn’t a shit choice? The Trump crowd you obviously get what you get, but if you vote for the supposed “sane” choices, you’re just voting back in the people that got us to Trump… Do-nothing RINO’s who stand-by and just advance the leftist nutjob agenda through inaction, corruption, or both

We gonna keep voting for Mitt fvcking Romney and OG fluff bottom lady Lindsey? Yeah that’ll fix our problems
Trump won't fix them either. Because he will never be elected.

We both know that won’t happen.

I don’t think the majority of the Republican Party is Uber Trump supporters but it’s a big enough group to cause issues in the primary (where you need the most votes but not a majority).

What about Trump specifically do you not support? Please provide detail if possible.
 
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE REPUB. LEADERSHIP THAT SCREWED UP LAST YEARS ELCTION--ANSWER MORE OF THE SAME (mos). THERE NEEDS TO BE NEW LEADERSHIP, BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN! THAT'S WHY YOU SEE MORE OF THE SAME FROM THE LAST ELECTION. NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT THE REUBS. WILL DO AND WHY, NOT ON THE DEMOCRATS ACTIONS! pUT THE DEMS. ON D3EFENCE.

Oh I know it won't happen, but it would definitely be the most effective way to stop him.
 
NPR is accurate with its reporting and will do actual retractions if they aren't. The GWP is a ****ing entertainment website that no one would consider a news source
Just flip it opposite and you would be correct.
 
Yes it is to the extent that can be studied and proven so. Not to the extent that it hurts your feelings and you don't like it so you make sad face.
Hey man don’t sweat it, I know it can be hard to decipher truth from fiction when they talk really slow and smart-like
 
Lol this guy actually believes NPR is credible

Hilarious
How can you argue they're not when you can't find anything untrue in the article I posted? We get it, you and the red-pilled yahoos on the mainboard attack them because they don't peddle the type of yellow journalism you consume, but that doesn't make them un-credible.
