Both parties killed the Republic when they swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia in direct violation of the Constitution.

He then proceeded to corrupt our entire government, like any usurper bent on destroying our country would if given the chance.

And he was given that chance because both parties wanted the natural born citizen clause gone.

You had the chance to keep the illusion of a republic, Obama had already killed it and set up the circumstances to snuff out the citizen’s attempt at a restoration.

Obama could not have done what he did without the cooperation of the Assistant Democrats you insist we have to keep re-electing.

No, we do not, and it is going to get far worse in the next few weeks.

Amen

Only revolution and the end of faux coexistence will allow a return to a Republic

Rome never regained the Republic once the dictators took control

We have not had a real republic for a long, long time and that is if we ever had one in practice as opposed to in literature. I have, for most of my life, heard the ranting about our democracy and have heard from many that we are supposed to have a democracy and from many others that a democracy and a republic are the same thing. I would say that we have an oligarchy which is by far the most common form of government and commonly results in tyranny which is blatantly obvious now in the so called UNITED States which are in fact in a state of DISunity.

“So in 2022, I take it you’re all for re-electing Lisa Murkowski and Liz Cheney, if they’re they only “Republican candidates?”

Yep, under 2 conditions:
1. They’re on the November ballot.
2. They’re more conservative than their opponent.

For the first one, I would vote for ANY challenger against them in the Primary, and I would also give that person my money. For the second one, that will always be the case in Alaska and Wyoming and has been the case for at least the last 20 years nationwide.

I guess the difference between us is that I’m voting FOR my kids and grandkids, while you guys have other priorities when you enable Democrats to take office.

“Obama could not have done what he did without the cooperation of the Assistant Democrats you insist we have to keep re-electing.”

Show me a Democrat in a November election who is more conservative that the Republican running (RINOs and all), and I’ll support and vote for the guy in 5 minutes. I have yet to see that case in at least the past 20 years.

I guess the difference between us is that I don’t think enabling mass amnesty (by killing the filibuster) and end of legal gun ownership helps this country very much, even if I would feel snug having voted against the RINO to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’.

It is Assistant Democrats like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio that have been pushing for amnesty.

There is no reason to support them when they are working against us.

We need to be quicker than this, folks..

Here we are in the 3rd month of it and we’re still asking if what clearly happened - happened.

We have LOST our Representative Republic.

We may be allowed to go through the motions of voting for our representatives, but this 2020 election made it CLEAR that those in DC choose and approve of their own. They LEAD us now; not represent.

We watched as those who had authority and power to right the wrongs - sit on their hands which was passive approval of the shenanigans.

Too many people have gotten the fight wrong -
It isn’t Republican vs Democrat...

It was DC elites vs the American people: taxpayers..

There will be no voting our way out of this. It will take other means to get our Republic back.

“There is no reason to support them when they are working against us.”

They’re not ‘working against us’ on ending the filibuster (which enables everything people here claim to oppose)...those are the Democrats you’re helping to empower.

We haven’t had one for nearly two-to-three decades now. It’s only becoming apparent to some people now.

Amnesty is how the Democrats get a permanent majority and Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio and the rest of the Bush League Republicans damn well know that they are providing it.

You should too.

Yup...

It’s like the old Woody Allen joke about -

How “..the food is terrible in this joint... and they give you such small portions!...”

Voting for more RINOs IS the EXACT same thing as voting for democrats.
Only - you THINK you’re fooling yourself. Or, outsmarting yourself..

BOTH PARTIES are OUR enemy, folks!
How hard is that to understand?

Without Republican support, this 2020 steal could NOT have happened.

The fight is between The People and the politicians, not Republicans and Democrats.

BOTH parties have been thoroughly infiltrated by evil people who truly believe that they are our betters; our leaders; our rulers and that our job is to fork over our cash and shut up. BOTH parties.

Last year, they figured out and collaborated on how to finally turn the tide ONCE AND FOR ALL.
They will allow us to play our little “election” game, but in reality, THEY choose their own. It is what it is now. Ain’t no more voting our way out of this.

It has happened to every great nation that has ever existed on this planet and we are now witnessing our turn.

WE have, over the years, decades, allowed evil men to come in and distort and take advantage of and fundamentally change our form of government.

WE allowed that. It’ll take some really ugly things to happen in order to get out of this mess successfully. REAL ugly things.

“Amnesty is how the Democrats get a permanent majority and Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio and the rest of the Bush League Republicans damn well know that they are providing it.”

No argument...but conservatives at least have a chance to fight them, but ONLY IF there is a filibuster, and yet you want to enable the people who will end the filibuster (the Democrats).

Sorry, still don’t get the strategy of making it FAR EASIER for the Democrats to get their Amnesty...by people here claiming to oppose Amnesty.

There must be a strategy someowhere. Maybe if we have a mass Amnesty of 30 million people, people here will get so mad that they’ll throw out the RINOs in the next election (before the Illegals can vote)? Only thing that I can think of. But one thing you guys overlook...those 30 million people you just helped make citizens will be voting just after your ‘throw out the RINOs election’.

But is that still it?

When we are FORCED to choose between the “lesser of two evils” - for DECADES, eventually you reach a point where all you have...

- is evil.

What are we so shocked?

“I would say that we have an oligarchy...”

We have a kakistocracy:

kak•is•toc•ra•cy kăk″ĭ-stŏk′rə-sē, kä″kĭ-►
n. Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
n. Government by the worst men in the state: opposed to aristocracy, government by the best men.
n. Government by the worst men.

Is that REALLY true.

Did ‘both parties’ pass Amnesty and enable it to become law? Or did ‘one party’ actually PREVENT Amnesty from becoming law?

Did ‘both parties’ outlaw gun ownership? Or did ‘one party’ actually PROTECT gun rights?

How hard is the above to understand? Even useful idiots should be able understand the differences between the parties.
