Sen. Ted Cruz urged conservatives to "lighten up" ahead of 2020 in response to "rage" from those on the Left.
"The Left right now, theyre so consumed with rage," the Texas Republican said last weekend at the Faith, Family, and Freedom forum, according to the Houston Chronicle. "They hate the president. It is all-consuming, its all they can see. As conservatives, lets not respond to that. Like, just lighten up. Just have some fun."
"When one party is going nuts, we gotta respond with joy, we gotta respond with smiles," he added.

Don’t mud wrestle with a pig stuff..
Actually good advice.
It worked very well for George W Bush.
Just tell them: Take your meds.
Glad to kick off the day by welcoming fellow Texans to our nation's capital at #Texas Tuesday Coffee. Thanks y'all for stopping by! pic.twitter.com/bM0icoeCz3— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) September 10, 2019
Post number 5: Just ignore.
The posting above, good advice.
Bush capitulated. This is different.
Pretty sure nothing angers the left as much as seeing us outwardly happy.
The other day I told a Liberal in a very friendly way “You need to lighten up. It’s not healthy. When you love your children and their future more than you hate Trump you’ll feel much better”.
Because that’s worked so well over the last half century.
The school system is nearly completely destroyed.
Our governance system is nearly completely destroyed.
Many of our cities are literally s**tholes.
Etc, so on, so forth...
so yeah. Lets just keep politely smiling at it all and pretend that works.
True! To involve yourself with Liberals at THAT level will only seem to validate them and their BS.
To debate them when they do that stuff will make us appear JUST as lunatic, immature and desperate.
They have always been lunatic and immature but, believe me, world-class, blue-ribbon, industrial-strength, pathological ‘desperation’ is what’s driving Liberals right now! And I say... give them all the rope they want.
Help to fix Texas, Ted.
Anything else is above your pay grade.
A few serious indictments at the top would work very well to shut them the hell up.
“It worked very well for George W Bush.”
Laughing at the left is different than ignoring them.
if it includes laugh at them, then I agree!
Game set and match
Ridicule.....The dims hate it when Alynsky rules are used back at them.
Actually, nothing pysses off a lib more than seeing a happy conservative.
Exactly. And we can do it in the most effective ways.
I make idle comments like that at every opportunity and it can be done in such a way that they’d never suspect I was a conservative. At least, it makes them think.
