I'm losing faith in republicans to be completely honest, I believe in "Liberal Democracy" I mean people should have the freedom to choose and elect what is they system and political alignment that best suits their values and worldview having a goon squad shoot American citizens is nowhere near what my values are I am a conservative, I believe in Person responsibility, governance by consent, limited government control over personal legal enterprise and entrepreneurship

I'm losing faith in republicans to be completely honest,

When and why did you ever have faith in republicans in the first place?

Your definition of Liberal Democracy is way off. Liberal Democracy means the right to rebel in open insurrection in the streets. Protected by elected crooks and criminals who favor illegal immigants. Liberal Democracy means denouncing Capitalism in favor of Socialism. It means a hatred of all things good and decent.

You come here appearing as a very lost and confused little man. "Goon squads"? Really?

By now you're prpobably zotted, and that's too bad. If you had half a brain, you could have kept your mouth shut and learned the truth of good vs. evil; Right vs. wrong. Conservatism verses your "Liberal Democracy".

Here's what ya need to do pal. Lurk. Lurk and learn from your betters here at FR. Then come back and discuss the issues.

Well, the actual goon squad was the protesters with the guy with a loaded gun and 60 extra shells. He got shot when that gun went off, while he was fighting four+ ICE representatives.

He had no ID, so he was unlawfully carrying. He expected to kill US government employees.

Why do you have a personal crisis and lie about the truth when you claim to be for “Person responsibility?”

Excellent reply...

you can do better than your “seminar caller”, Bot-like, “I’m a conservative” template.

We probably all have issues with the Republican Party, MAGA, DJT etc However you either ignore or don’t comprehend what Federalism means. Certain things are covered by Federal Laws and administration but the states also have a lot of freedom on issues “not enumerated.”

Something like immigration is the responsibility of the Federal Government and such government is sworn to uphold the laws of the nation. We had a lawless administration that purposely ignored a huge part of our laws. We corrected that. Now we have certain states that are in open rebellion against Federal law. I’d go as far as saying that the nature of the rebellion is more fundamental than that of the Confederacy in 1861.

Well said.

Honestly I was tempted to say something like that.

People like this are oxygen thieves.

They are supporting the victimization of their fellow citizens so they can have a slave class.

Capitalization....

This is really getting ridicurous

My recommendations would be to educate yourself about the neo-Bolshevik revolution that we are being subjected to by Democrats (pushed forward under Obama especially ramped up under Biden). Communist street thugs are currently trying to thwart the will of the People in the 2024 election by causing violence and chaos in hopes our side backs down. Also, try using proper spelling and punctuation.

I think you’d be better off over at the DUmp with other DUmpster DUmmies.
