Or maybe men should start acting like men. I’d hate to be in a party fueled by single Karens.

People who have a stake in society and the country in general, tend to be more conservative. If you're married, have children, a home, land, a business and other responsibilities, the general well being of society, safety and the country are very important.

If you're single, live in an apartment with a cat or living on welfare, you don't really have a stake in society.

I guess you're worried about getting cat food.

LOL at thinking either party is looking out for John or Jane Q Public. Call me when someone shows up serious about seriously and systematically reducing the size and scope of the federal government.

Trump is the only one threatening the status quo - and 99% of that is pandering on his part. Idiocracy wants to be entertained so that is what we get from the party with a non-rigged primary system (lol Bernie lovers). Rs tried McCain and Romney - doesn't get more moderate, "respectable" or experienced than those two and they lost horribly a race bating community organizer. Macho Camacho it is.

Associating conservativism with caring more about the general well being of society, safety and the country is complete and utter bullshit.

Conservatives are more concerned with themselves and making sure “the other” doesn’t get to reach equal status. It’s why they’re so consumed with culture wars.

I have no problem with both of those things, those things are good. What isn't good is the blind loyalty to Trump for a significant chunk of the Republican party when Trump doesn't give two shits about the people that support him let alone the average American.

Everyone has their crazies. Trumps last poll
was in the 30s, down from before. I also blame the storm of lies around him for many people not believing a damn thing about him. The Bragg charge and this weeks charge are fairly bogus, imo. The documents seems like he’s got a legit legal problem. I think he’ll lose. I feel bad for the donors who paid for a billionaires legal bills unknowingly.

Instead, you’re in a party fueled by the uneducated, conspiracy theorists, and MAGAts.

The people who vote Dem in those big cities like NY, LA, Chicago, etc...they're all walking around with college degrees and PhD's? lol what a crock of shit.

Conspiracy theorists are all over the place and easy to find. They aren't solely in the GOP tent.

 

[Irish#1]

I've lost count of the number of MAGA folks on twitter cheering on Newsom.

Makes sense. DeSantis is the only real threat to Trump right now. If Newsom can make DeSantis look bad, it sways votes to Orange Man.

If you think the Democrats care about everyone, let me send you pics of my bridge I'm trying to unload, err I mean sell. The Dems are very good at promoting their agenda on the premise they care about everyone, yet you have people like Pelosi and evidently Carper who have used their influence and connections to make a ton of money through questionable stock purchases.

Conservatives aren't concerned with making sure "“the other” doesn’t get to reach equal status." I (and I suspect the other conservative posters on here would agree with me) have no problem with anyone bettering themselves and becoming equal. It's good for everyone if that happens. What conservatives are more concerned with, is the government taking away what they have earned and the government spending what they don't have.

Nearly half of Dems say fines, prison time appropriate for questioning vaccines, poll says

WASHINGTON (TND) — A majority of Democrats support punitive and restrictive policies against the unvaccinated, according to the results of a new poll. A recent national telephone and online survey from The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports says respondents who claimed to be Democrats...

This is absolutely true. I talked to a friend who knows a guy who was at one of the camps and they had all the kids drinking gender fluids and eating only culturally appropriate foods and calling each other weird pronouns and shit. Not a damn zipline in sight!

Yeah, but over that last decade or so, they have gained a lot more influence in the GOP.

MTG believes in Jewish space lasers and she is also on the NDAA reconciliation committee.

Look at how the Democratic Party has not embraced RFK Jr and his crazy ideas.

Another data point in the Democratic Party's rejection of RFK jr.....as of now, he speaking at the RNC next year. Not the DNC.

You could replace Trump with any politician ever. Blind loyalty to any politician is ignorance. But at the same time there is a means to getting what you want. Trump winning in 2016 served its purpose for a variety reasons. I’d rather have Trump than Biden or even Hilary. My loyalty is to the values the party represents.

I was at the courthouse when Trump arrived yesterday. 90% of the people there hated Trump and 90% of those people seemed to be the single feminists lesbian cat lady.

I think I agree. But renominating Trump is almost certainly not a means to getting what Republicans want. He has no shot of winning the general election.

These are not consistent thoughts

Nobody in DC is serious about tearing anything down. It only grows.

Or if Newsom looks good to D’s, maybe they decide to actually look into Hunter Biden and ponder who the big guy is??? If Newsom pops, the media will have an epiphany.


Dems could also wake up to this

Fucking Feinstein...seriously...what the fuck lady?

I have no idea what that process looks like, but her family taking over important personal decisions should be a crystal clear sign that the process needs to go into action if she still refuses to step aside.

Here’s what’s crazy…she could (should) retire due to health and the Gov of California (a Democrat) gets to name her replacement so the Dems don’t lose a seat. Same w/ Fetterman…PA Gov is Dem and could name his replacement to maintain Dem power. Just bonkers.

I’ll never understand someone’s motivation to go all John Adams and die at work in the Capitol. Weekend at Bernie’s but at the Capitol, she could die and they wheel her around and nobody notice.
