For Pete’s sake, stop being so negative. That’s true, but focus on the future, not the washed up has beens. Because they’ll either get on board or they’ll be gone anyway.
Hope for the future - and work for it!

I prefer to view it as having a healthy dose of skepticism. ;)
I have a hard time accepting what comes out of the mouths of most GOP politicians. I prefer to vote for people who accomplish things instead of talk about them — solely for votes.
And as far as “working for it” is concerned I donated a considerable amount money to Trump and would do it all over again.
By the way, do you know how many House GOPers voted to keep Liz Cheney in her GOP leadership role? The number did not surprise me one bit. It speaks to the duplicity of the party.
Give it up, Starboard. This website is crawling with GOPee puffers and perpetual suckers who will continue to vote for the GOPee shills, crooks, liars, and quisling traitors because they’re too thickheaded and ignorant to ever stop themselves. It’s in their DNA.
Skepticism is fine. Negativity is destructive.
I’m glad you donated. I did too, although I don’t think the money was necessarily well used, since the GOP obviously dropped the ball on the elections. Everybody knew were going to be seriously corrupt, since the Dems were taking advantage of these Covid shutdowns to run roughshod over law and the Constitution. But the GOP had no plan.
I usually volunteer to work the elections as a polling place monitor, but unfortunately this year I had a family situation that prevented me from doing it. Florida had good elections, thanks to hard work by DeSantis, so it probably didn’t make a difference.
However, you can see how important that humble job is when you see how hard the Dems fought to keep GOP observers out of the polling places or to conduct business while the observers were out of the room. The GOP at the very least should have been trying to get more polling place workers and observers, they should have been monitoring the balloting procedures and changes, they should have been challenging, they should have been filing lawsuits. So their inertia is definitely deserving of massive, angry criticism.
But what really makes me angry is the people who declare their hatred of the do nothing GOP on the one hand, and then on the other boast about not having voted for years because they’re too “pure” to vote, or who never ever do even the minimum things like write to their congressmen, write to the WH, write to their governor, send a few bucks to their candidate, etc. They do nothing but bluster and spew negativity and anger on social media.
I was shocked when I saw an article about the MAGA march in DC where a large number of people interviewed actually hadn’t even bothered to vote. Trump is not magic and he can’t win without real support, which means that people have to stop complaining and start working. End of rant...LOL! It’s just that I get so sick of this “all is lost” mantra.
