Agree! I realize that fraud occurs & that Democrats find locations where they can facilitate it. People on here respond by whining & telling everyone it’s unfixable. To me, there’s a lot of folks that want to latch on to somebody that’ll do the fighting for them. We could be fixing this by donating to fixing the issue, creating referendums in states controlled by leftists, writing strict laws & limiting judicial influence. That involves hard work & organization. So they whine instead. I see an immense laziness that’s developed on our team 🙄

It’s been a safe Dem seat. Santos was lucky to get elected. Kicking him out was stupid but I doubt he’d have won again in November.

Yet the Dems attack everything, say everything sucks because of Republicans, lie constantly, berate people, divide and conquer, and seem to win.

They are the party of defeatism.

And Dems scream “Hitler” every other sentence but so-called “Independents “ don’t seem to mind.

Why are “Independents “ always described as you did but they never get tired of Dem ridiculous rhetoric?

I think we also depend on President Trump too much. Too many on our side seem to think things can get turned in a better direction by one person. He was President for 4 years, if it was as easy as electing one guy, it’d be done. We needed a whole new team of real conservative/non-establishment/MAGA philosophy elected officials: President/Executive Officers, House Speaker/Majority Leader/Whip, Senate Majority Leader/Whip, State Governors/Legislature majorities, County Commisions/Mayors/City Councils & Originalist Conservative/Strict Constructionist appointments to all levels of the judicial branch. One man alone was never going to be enough. Too many people on our side have become lazy & thought that they could leave the heavy lifting to one guy.

There’s a definite side effect to conservative voters feeling solely inspired by Trump alone & not seeing it as a broader movement beyond him: increasingly, they aren’t showing up to vote for other elected offices. I don’t think they are the least bit aware that they are handicapping him, us & themselves. Suddenly, around 2018, significant numbers of Republican & conservative voters have been sitting out/ignoring/boycotting election races not involving Trump. They bought into an us vs establishment mentality to a degree that the folks mainly being injured by it was us.

There has also been a tribe on our side that believes that because Democrats cheat, all elections are corrupt & have unknowingly convinced many on our side not to bother voting. They don’t seem capable of grasping that they’re actions are the very thing ensuring election losses. So frustrating. I hate being tied to defeatists! 🙄

Trump is nothing but a protest vote now.

Simple. Santos should have been expelled months ago.

The voters drew the logical conclusion.

The voters should have primaried him out. Not for those hypocrites in Congress to throw him out.

Protest votes do nothing to actually facilitate change. When a thug is threatening to put his boot on your neck, a protest vote seems like an incredibly limp-wristed response. Where are all the real men that are supposedly on our side? I’ve seen proffers with more fight. The excuses have become pathetic. People are lazy 🙄
