The best proof we’ve seen that demonstrates what many of us have felt for a long time is watching Republican lawmakers and executives distance themselves from President Trump. Some of us have believed the apparent embrace of the President and his policies by leaders in the GOP was manufactured and/or feigned for political expediency only. In other words, people like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham were only pretending to defend the President because they could use him. Now that he seems to be leaving (though some of us aren’t so sure that’s actually the case), they’re scrambling back to the swamp-infested shadows of Republican establishmentism.
The Republican Party should be controlled by, you know, Republicans. President Trump’s brand of politics is populist Republicanism. It’s like standard Republicanism with an America-first mentality that disavows neoconservative principles. It also engages in principles that are not traditionally Republican such as fair trade instead of free trade and bigger budgets than we’d like. I’m not happy with the big budgets, but it seems like there are only six or seven in the House and maybe three in the Senate who actually walk the walk of fiscal conservatism, so that’s a battle for later.
Right now, we need to either get a new party going or we need to replace the tired Republican Establishment leadership in the GOP with populist Republicans.

They are distancing from us because they drink the same swamp water, consume the same media (and hysteria), and they do NOT support the Trump agenda.
2022 is going to be a watershed for the GOP if Trump decides to remain active.
The GOP needs to go away.
The MAGA party will take over from here.
FU GOP!
Why should we even vote?
Yesterday I received a donation request in the mail from the Washington State Republicans, first time ever. Sorry guys.
FU GOP FU
You are dead to me. I want men of courage to lead my ideals. People like Wilma Barr, Linda Graham, and Mr Elaine Chung
can go pee up a rope.
You frigging bas.tards. Oh and never forget Mike the “evangelist” Pence. Ha.
There IS no GOP without Trump.
Maybe he can teach them how to do the fraud, but for the moment, half the Senate and most of the GOP Congress owe their existence to him.
Either they stand with him and fight back or they evaporate.
This is driven by an attempt to get rid of Trump once and for all rather than by external pressures. Animosity against and hatred of Trump (and his voters), not fear of the Democrats, is driving the actions the GOP Congress. I think we need to return the favor by rejecting, in GOP primaries, all of the most vociferous Trump critics during the Democrat coup attempt in the waning days of Trump’s 1st term. Two key figures who should be ousted are Peter Meijer, Justin Amash’s replacement, and Adam Kinzinger, both of whom have been key quislings aiding and abetting the ludicrous and unhinged Democratic media effort to portray this jaunt through the halls of Congress as a coup/insurrection.
Right now, we need to either get a new party going or we need to replace the tired Republican Establishment leadership in the GOP with populist Republicans.

The latter is never going to happen. The GOP changes for no one. It is what it is. The party didn’t change for Reagan and it certainly won’t change for Trump.
The GOP is soulless party that stands for nothing and is incapable of fixing anything.
There are 70+ million people ready to launch a new party. If not now, then when?
When you regard them as Globalists instead of US Senators, you see them for the insurrectionists they truly are.
If they do 80 million + will say fk u.
Either they stand with him and fight back or they evaporate.

The GOP doesn’t fight. They appease.
I’ve lived in Washington DC, and its an ideological/power/status/conformity bubble like none you’ve ever experienced.
For people who’ve never experienced it, I liken it to the worst high school cliques you can imagine, times 1 million.
So there is real FEAR among the spineless GOP goobers there - fear of losing their careers, fear of losing status, fear of being unpopular, fear of even being prosecuted or jailed.
A G R E E ! ! !
For the first time in 170 years I think that the leader is there and the base of support is there to successfully launch a new political party that could succeed in getting people elected to Congress and the presidency. It's imperative that a clear statement of principles is identified and released and then take it from there. Some existing Republican members of Congress will switch, and there may be some Democrats who switch as well. This could be done in time for the 2022 elections.
Yes,
The GOP are collaborating with the democRATS and we should destroy them all.

Its the District of Corruption. Its one big club.
They had the House, the Senate and the White House for two years and did nothing to promote the MAGA agenda. We no longer believe them when they tell us… Vote for us… We’re going to do all the wonderful things you want if you just elect us. LLPonF.
Will they even defend American patriots like Senator Hawley?
I didn't! I'm jealous. I probably would have replied I'll donate when they present a petition to change the election laws to deny iNet access and the SmartMatic malware. The adoption of the FEC rules 2.0+ have sat unapproved since 2003 that includes rules about internet access, vs a lan access that doesn't allow iNet connection, like in my personal router.
