Apparently you misunderstood my post. I have no doubt that you’re conservative and I have no interest in changing your mind proven by the fact that I did not respond directly to you. I’m not ‘wobbly’ either nor do I troll. Nonetheless, I never turn down an honest debate.
“Don’t bash your own side”….. I will NEVER vote for a republican that does not fight or represent the people. I never voted before Trump for that very reason (I’m 57).
Carter
Reagan - hated by the left
Bush - CIA globalist
Clinton
Bush - globalist
Obama
Trump - hated by the entire Congress
Biden
50 yrs of uniparty Congress
The Republican party has done NOTHING for the people for 50 yrs. They stand for nothing and are definitely not America First. If they were, we wouldn’t need a bull as president, any Republican would do. In the meantime, we have lost most of our freedoms and wealth.
My POINT in my post (that you misconstrued due to emotion):
The VOTERS (you and others) put those lying republican grifters in Congress….REPEATEDLY. And on FR, instead of getting all emotional about that, we spend months arguing about Trump multiple times a day. Meanwhile, regardless of who wins DeSantis/Trump/whomever, Congress will fight them as well.
You made many assumptions that don’t apply to me and I won’t make any assumptions about you even though you did state ‘terrified of losing the presidency because of the terrible things the dems will do’. Many feel that way but not me. We lost when both Bush’s were elected and when Trump was elected. Congress made sure that the uniparty agenda continued regardless of who was president. And they will do it again and again and again UNTIL the voters start pressuring them and removing them.
Just a small example, we know FR in monitored. Imagine if we talked about Congress as often and fervently as we do Trump/Cruz or Trump/DeSantis? Most articles get @20 comments but a ‘Trump’ article gets @100 and often times much more.
Our focus and anger should be spotlighted on those calling the shots, and it ain’t the presidency.
Now……if you think the Republicans in Congress are better than Dems, tell me what conservative things they’ve done since Reagan. My theory, after vietnam, the uniparty knew the country would not allow another war like that but they still needed to grift. So they decided to invade foreign areas on the pretense of ‘enforcing democracy blah blah blah’ so they could keep the war machine going and all of the money affiliated with it. At the same time, pharma started commercializing drugs on every tv show to make more money. That money went to DC as well. Both sides have the SAME donors. Big tech has been censoring us for years. Etc, etc, etc.
I will never support the uniparty. And I hope the Republican party is replaced by the America First party or whatever.
It’s almost comical that you mentioned guns, woke, fascism and political correctness. Those problems are minor - we are losing the dollar due to outrageous spending over decades. We will experience poverty like we’ve never seen. We have NO GDP. We are consumers, not producers. Both parties want an open border for cheap labor. We will be at war soon, our backing of Ukraine against Russia. Both parties want a war. We live in a surveillance country. Crime is no longer prosecuted and lawfare is the new weapon.
Congress won’t change until we change.
And NO, Trump can’t fix any of this nor will he make much progress. If he does, they will assassinate him. They don’t care about the other candidates, they all are owned by donors, especially if they want two terms. Assassination is their last choice. They are going to boot Biden because they can’t cheat enough for him to win. Trump has 20% of the black vote already. It will increase. Dems will put in an ‘Obama’ type who will win the general. If they can’t pull that off, they will kill or imprison Trump.
So…………what’s the solution? Start handing out opus colonoscopies for the Congress. That would unite voters but many here aren’t that interested. They’d rather argue about Trump……which is a distraction from the real problems.
I will admit to being naive for a longggg time before the Trump era. My youth & lack of experience at that point caused me not to search much past the surface. I truly think that may have been a result of no actual life experience. Too many millennial era kids grew up pampered with most things provided by their parents. We are now home owners, momma and daddy have passed and my husband & I are now solving our own problems.
For instance, at the time, I thought George W. was a decent man. I have since we realized the opposite is true. He really us an idiot. I think that there are some decent people in the GOP- like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Governor DeSantis, etc. Essentially I only really favor very conservative people. I come it from a very conservative across the board outlook: traditional values, pro life, free markets, America First, constitutionality, limited government.
I agree the party has dome nothing. They are better than the Democrats but not by enough to justify their existence. They are wholly owned & operated, like the Dems by lobbyists, big business & interest groups. I’m obviously not a favorer of the unitary either. I desire an actual conservative party that limits immigration, favors American workers &abides by our constitution.
I’m not under the illusion that anything going to change with or without Trump any time soon. I honestly think those things will ultimately be addressed through Civil War #2. I think having Trump leading us is important because it gives us a better shot at succeeding, but all sorts of things need to change. We need people in all offices that actually represent the public- not lobbyists & socialists & woke buttholes! 😉
