There are two kinds of people in America. Those in charge and their minions, and the rest of us that pay for and live with their crap. We won’t make it that far.
Plywood had DC boarded-up against the riots that occurred BEFORE January 6th.
That’s what I think about all of this third party talk. In the sense of forming an organization to pursue an ideal, like the Tea Party, it’s fine - but there is no need for a new, bloated bureaucracy full of timid functionaries. Conservatives need to see the use of a party label as tactical, the way collectivists do. There are plenty of outright Communists calling themselves “Democrats” - so nothing is wrong with a patriot calling himself a “Republican” if it helps win an election. It doesn’t mean swearing allegiance to Lindsay Graham, it’s just using an existing structure - the way Trump did - to attain public office in a way that would be difficult to do without that structure.
The harmful belief has been that RINOs who win primary elections (perhaps with electronic assistance) must subsequently receive unequivocal support from the base in general elections, because Democrats are so horrible. We have seen now that those RINOs are often nothing but politically ambitious narcissistic sociopaths who adopt the Republican label for the reasons mentioned above.
No need whatsoever to support the Romneys and Murkowskis in any election - support only those who share patriotic beliefs and Constitutional ideals. In some rare cases, those people might even have a (D) after their names - because that is what is required tactically to win. In any case, no contributions should ever be made to parties - only to individual candidates.
Because of GOP treachery I am now a registered Independent. Enough said.
“that resulted in the deaths of several people, including one Capitol Police officer,”
Two lies in one sentence.
Lindsay Graham is either playing his part in Trump’s sting or walking a fine line to punishment later. I can’t decide which.
This shifty eyed little weasel does things seemingly to the good and then completely undoes them by stabbing conservatives in the back.
It’s a pattern this little prick is always engaging in.
