"...I do! This was a last ditch chance to save our Republic and those 2 blew it listening to Rove etc. All those 2 had to do was support Trump and call for a special session. Georgians didn’t teach anybody a lesson. They displayed their own stupidity in “thinking” they’ll make up for it in 2022."

It is ludicrous to blame GOP voters when it was the Republican Party's fault. Today the only difference between the GOP and the Democrats is that the GOP lies about what it believes.

A political party that betrays its own voters is not a political party, it is just a con job.

They want to be the minority party. That way they can do the “freeddom, liberty, constitution” rah rah and have an excuse to not deliver.

They are globalists. Country is destined to be sold out.

We have exhausted the peaceful revolution options provided by our Founding Fathers.

It is time for the second amendment. But know this, the 2nd is NOT about guns! It is about the local militia.

“A well regulated militia being necessary for................”

Now, some one fill in the rest of the sentence. We have to clearly know what we are fighting for.

It us time to group up, I can’t say it enough. Put some beer and meat in the garage, open the garage door and find the warriors. This is what our founding fathers did.

“Then those who feared the Lord, gathered together to talk, and God listened to what they said”

The GOP race to oblivion began LONG AGO! Stupid GOP politicians called it bipartisanship and actually prided themselves on their many accomplishments. Republican politicians regarded it as an incontestable and final proof of personal ability, character, statesmanship, political prowess, far sightedness, and THE defining, ‘career making’ move when they succeeded in betraying constituents…

In MY life, I wish I could travel to meet each one of them and spit on the ground in front of them!!

The GOP is dead. I can’t wait for the creation of a MAGA party.


Dead yes, as for a new party, that will have to wait until the Democrats relinquish their nationwide control of the voting system ...

You’re speaking for a lot of people.

The party has betrayed us for the last time.

I estimate that small government conservatives are 25% of the consistent voting public [19% voted Perot in 1992, DESPITE all the Media-Uniparty-Deep State dirty tricks, which President Trump has shown us to be real things].

Wait'll these Repukes get a load of the Woke Twenty Five Percent...

It’s Trump’s party now. Bhwahahahahahaa!!!

**************

It is not and never will be Trump’s party. Nor is it Reagan’s party. The GOP is what it is: a feckless, weak and corrupt party.

Time for a new party that actually stands for something.

And this ridiculous RAT impeachment charade that just took place did us a big favor by flushing out 10 GOPe RINOs suffering from TDS so that we now have a faces and names to go with em.... Either primary em out or don’t allow em into the new party. Let em fade out of the vine and fall into the dustbin of history.

Warnock will fit right in in the U.S. senate. The scoundrels there will welcome him into the club.

Watched it the other day, so many parallels to what’s going on now.

Just imagine if the Republicans actually had Trump’s back, what could have accomplished. But now, they didn’t like him, so they backstabbed him.

One quote immediately comes to mind.

Ah, you’re learning, Willie! You’re learning that you don’t work with a captain because you like the way he parts his hair; you work with him because *he’s GOT* the job, or you’re no good!

The party leaves me now as an independent.

We warned them about big-tech. We can all see the obviousness of the voter fraud. Yet their inner coward compelled them to hang PDJT out to dry and go along with the establishment and status-quo, as though ‘everything will go back to normal’. Fools. Now we have an empowered leftist mob that will know no end to their goals and we will just be trampled upon.

And they think we will still vote for them. I’d rather we all not vote and allow all D’s to take over, there’s little difference than what we have now. At least they’ll be out and we send the message that we will not tolerate spineless politicians that only represent themselves and their own interests instead of ours.

They’re epidemically negligent in doing their job. What do they think will happen? What happens when masses of people are being down trodden and not represented? They’re fools, all of them.

30 million registered GOP voters
72 million Trump voters said that they would vote for Trump again.

***************

Those numbers are a nice base of support from which to establish a new party. If that should become a reality the massive exodus from the GOP would render it an empty shell, literally overnight.

A well deserved fate for a party that has consistently betrayed its voters.

I wonder why Dan Crenshaw didn’t vote to impeach. He was vocally critical of Trump at the House.

I replied that there was something about Crenshaw I didn't trust, and as if right on cue this was posted on FR:

This last line...” many voters would rather destroy the party and start from scratch than reward the very people who seem to hate them most.”

Count me in this group! Walked away from the Republican Party (registered since 1988) last month......
