By using the metaphor "living in the mud" you unknowingly are advocating that we become the same vile, deceitful, and immoral party that we have previously and rightfully opposed. What Trump is doing is often referred to as "defining decency down" and we are seeing it on an almost daily basis. "We have met the enemy, and he is us" is another phrase used to describe someone who has capitulated to vile tactics, to try to win a war, only to find out their actions now make them no better than that of those they originally opposed.
Only Trump can articulate these issues along with his $1.80/gallon gas prices as well as no inflation, wars, and a secure border.
I don't believe Trump is the only one capable of such things. In fact, gas industry records show that even Obama had gas prices down at close to $2 per gallon when he left office, and they actually went up during Trump's first two years in office. Here's a source of that but there are many others.
But the point is, Trump is not the sole and only answer to our problems. It's one possible solution, but if we must lower ourselves to the level of our proverbial enemies, what have we actually won?
I'm sure you and others will see this as a defeatist attitude, and try to equate me to those who aren't even fighting the actual battle like Mitch McConnell. But it's not defeatist. It's being true to my Christian principles, and not corrupting myself over a hollow victory.
You made my point better than I ever could. Most Repubs would rather lose graciously than get their lily white gloves dirty. Most Repubs are very gracious and live above the fray as they watch their country being destroyed.
Trump is more of a hardhat than a country club member even though he owns country clubs.
You have two choices, Trump or Biden since the primary is over.
You are just butt-hurt over MAGA’s big win last night.
