But I like most of you, don't need anyone to save me.

I just need people to stay the fk out of my way.

If you wanna be a smug azzhole and play the middle, it's your right, but here's the reality kid:

Right now, the Democrats are on the verge of totalitarian rule, that's not up for debate.

The ONLY CHANCE we have at stopping that is by winning back Congress.

Feel free to sit around and sniff your own farts and feel really good that you spout the "muh both sides" trope on Social Media, but the fact is Politics is a numbers game and if you give a fk about the country and your families future, you will hold your nose and vote "R" in November.

I don’t play both sides. But I will tell you that voting for Graham/McConnel/EPMccain is voting for this both side trope you speak of.


You shoulda said this during the primaries or let’s keep staying happy with the Paul Ryan’s and Mitten’s out there.


They need to be shown the door. They keep stabbing you in the back and are controlled opposition.

Still upvoted you though.

I despised the people you mentioned, but I live in the real world.

The ONLY chance we have at stopping the Lefts' sprint towards Fascism is to win back Congress, period, end of story.

As an adult you are often faced with choices that suck.

This is one of those choices.

No one is denying Republican Leadership sucks ballz, but they aren't the insane, grooming wannabe murderous dictators that the Left inarguably have become.

The choice sucks, but one choice leads to absolute ruin and carnage while the other choice gives us a fighting chance.

Expecting every Republican to have views perfectly aligned with with my own would be unrealistic, but there's not a single Dem I know of with views anywhere close to my own. Not even one.

Maybe the best chance we have is to let the fascists frick around and find out.

Since the republicans e are controlled opposition, they just prolong the inevitable and make No GAINS.

This country is past voting our way out of this. Maybe time to rip the bandaid off over a gun wound.

I also say that knowing how awful it will be. But for 40+ years, we’ve been letting republicans watch us get fricked while they share cocktails at the Dem/Rep mixer parties on Wednesday.

It’s a uniparty. I will vote for the conservatives. But the wolf in sheeps clothing doesn’t get mine.

How will you resist when you can't buy food?

When they turn off your power?

When they artificially inflate the price of gas to $10 a gallon?

When they invent the next Plandemic and force you to take an experimental shot to live your normal life?

You are correct in saying that the primaries are where this is to be fought.

However, the very idea of "punishing" the Paul Ryan’s and Mitten’s out there by voting for anyone else in the general election is pure insanity - that is if you are tying to win the war.

You sound like Benedict Arnold - he felt (and rightly so) that he had been not treated well after his injury -> didn't get the honors and promotions he thought he deserved (and he was correct)

SO - what did he do? => threw in with the enemy, instead of sucking it up and continued fighting for his country.

When it comes down to binary choices - you are a fool to choose the worst choice just because your favorite isn't available.

I do not understand this kind of logic -
binary choices
= best vs worst ============ choose Best
= least better vs more better == choose more Better
= least evil vs most evil ====== choose least Evil
= lesser evil vs sorta evil ===== choose lesser Evil

Agreed. I'm sick of this attention seeking, vacuous canard.

Except for abortion, gun rights, Court justices, tax policies, handouts, open borders, criminal justice issues, regulations for industry and citizens regarding the climate, energy production, speech limits, thought crimes, socialized medicine, etc. they're, like, totally the same.

Because things have been getting better under the Republicans and Democrats?

I see the size of government and the deficit increase under both. I see a bipartisan effort to send billions to Ukraine. I saw the Republicans silent as they locked down the country.

quote:

U.S. House passes $40 billion Ukraine aid package with broad bipartisan support


Keep doing the same thing and expect different results. My support goes to the best candidate regardless of what party they are with.

You’re being played like a puppet by the politicians.

Agreed!

A Man sees the world as it is, a child sees the world as he thinks it should be.

If you saw any part of Herr Biden's speech last night and still don't see how important it is to hold your nose and at least TRY and stop this madness, then I question your love of country in the first place.

Just so you know, these THEYS you speak of……they are uniparty members.


You’ll see the cuck republicans come out Full force in the next week agreeing with Biden.

. This was planned by both sides for Biden to get up and talk about conservatism being the enemy. The majority of Republicans are behind the speech to.




This is legitimately your only option.

How should a Christian respond to the Great Reset and other worldly plans to, as it were, rebuild the Tower of Babel? First, refuse to worry. In Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus helps us navigate unsettling times. Even if you literally don’t know where your next meal is coming from, do not worry; God provides for the birds, and He will provide for you.
And this is a good resource on why you can Believe the Bible. It’s a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses in the lifetimes of other eyewitnesses. .

Elections are rigged by the Democrats. We stand no chance, but as a Trump conservative, I will go down fighting.

OP speaks truth. We have a simple choice: let the Democrats stay in power, or vote for the only realistic opposition to beat them.

do you realize there was a day when the Democrat party was considered a party for the people and at one time were patriotic and desired what was best for the citizens as a whole.

they have progressively gone left over the decades since WW2.
and the Republicans have been following them into the pit of hell for years.

but you do you. it's all coming to an end. best to get your house in order.

God bless us all.

They certainly are the lesser of two evils. Thats why Bernie bots like Joe Rogan are urging people to vote Republican.

The only thing remotely "evil" about the GOP is its leadership.

The rank and file are good people (minus the NeoCon trash).
