My flak jacket is on as I write this since I am sure to offend or piss off some friends, family, and colleagues who are ostensibly Republicans or conservatives but have a visceral aversion to Donald Trump.
Some tell me they are Republican and miss Ronald Reagan but also admit they “couldn’t” vote for Donald Trump in either 2016 or 2020. Nothing says one is Republican like voting for a liberal Democrat.
This is the NeverTrump wing of the Republican Party, emerging shortly after Trump secured the GOP nomination in 2016. Reasons for NeverTrump-ism are myriad.
Some were offended by his mean tweets, name-calling, and brash Queens personality. Others disliked his confidence and determination to punch back twice as hard when attacked, particularly when the attacks were bogus (Russian collusion, fine people, grab em by the p***y, etc).
Many establishment Republicans only wanted a nominee who was part of George Carlin’s “big club,” with the last name of Bush, or endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, The Wall Street Journal, or the Koch brothers.
Still others bristled at Trump’s desires to secure America’s borders, avoid foreign wars, achieve American energy independence, and level the playing field of global trade. After all, globalists and the military-industrial complex are happy with and profit immensely from open borders, endless wars, high energy prices, and China-centric trade deals.
In two and a half months, there will be a reckoning, America First versus America Last. The comparisons to four years ago are legion.
Trump attempted to build a border wall, despite NeverTrump resistance from his own party. Biden opened the border to the tune of 10,000 known illegal crossings per day.
Trump nominated three Constitutional Supreme Court justices while Biden nominated one who doesn’t know what a woman is.

... or just put on any pants and quit bending over for the Dems................
the stark difference between the two candidates and what they stand for will say a lot about each side’s supporters.
biblical is an understatement and the idiocy of the American electorate gives me pause. my wife says she’s a double hater, and she cannot see the forest of communism through the trees... she thinks the freerepublic website is a propaganda site that is spoiling my free thought...
hehehe, she really doesn’t know. gotta love her... but i know she’ll be the first to turn me into the authorities “for my own safety”
never trump republican’s are neocon a## holes who are as corrupt as the rats
The Self Righteous Know-it-Alls? Probably won’t happen.
Stop saying liberal! They're not liberals, they're Leftists. Use the correct term -- LEFTIST, LEFTIST, LEFTIST!
Why?
They’ll vote Trump They did in 2016 and in 2020. They need to be in the polls? Even Ann coulter figured out to count them in
They are against their wealth being taxed.
Which means they have a great deal more in common with the democrat big money people than they do with Joe and Jane Paycheck in the middle class who are worried about their kids being taken from them because they don't deny reality, the price of food and their job being outsourced to some place overseas.
As for the poor rural people, those smelly drug addicts should just go off and die. They are spoiling their view.
TDS rots the insides of skulls, including those of Republicrats.
But then they won’t get to go on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, or any other Trump Republican hating bordello.
Let’s be clear about this: Most of the Never Trumpers wouldn’t have voted for Reagan, either.
The pigs don’t want anyone shaking the trough
The correct term is COMMUNIST.... COMMUNIST, COMMUNIST, COMMUNIST..
There, fixed it
I stopped reading right there.
Argumentum falsum dilemma AKA false dichotomy AKA the prison of two ideas.
It’s not just your average voter who is anti-Trump. It’s the establishment. The “conservatives” where shocked that an outsider got elected. But after a long, disgusted sigh, they had a meeting with Trump and said, “Okay, here’s what you need to do. Here’s a list of people you need to hire. Don’t worry, we’ll help you fit in.” And Trump said, “(*&$%^_)$#. That’s not what I’m going to do. I have my own agenda.” The establishment...the Uniparty, were really put off. Everything that’s anti Trump is really an aspect of who is going to control the direction of the politics, the party and the country. There are huge financial and ego interests at risk. None of those people who are in power positions are going to give up one iota of that power and control. Power and control is who gets what and when. Lose that and they’re all nobodies.
Employment numbers much worse than previously reported. Revised numbers Wednesday
Yay and verily. You speak the truth.
They don’t have any.
