Do the non MAGA Republicans find what Joe said comforting?

In other words, do you take comfort and find solace in the fact that THIS ADMINISTRATION and THIS PRESIDENT doesn't think as poorly of you as it does the REAL "MAGA Republicans"?

Why do you think that's the case? What is it about YOU that you think these people must find more appealing?

Is there some sort of philosophical commonality that you imagine? Do you see this as an entre wherein you may be able to find common ground with these folks?

Where are YOU looking to go from here, if so?

I’m sure Cheney, Pierre DeLecto, and Turtle secretly agree with Pedo Joe.

Only an idiot truly thinks they distinguish between MAGA Republicans and Republicans.

The message is clear: if you aren’t a democrat you’re an enemy of the state.

No one should buy into their word games and lies.

Their goalposts always move so if you’re comfortable with this because “he was meaning the OTHER republicans, not me!” Then rest assured that once that problem is addressed, you’re the next problem.


Republicans and democrats alike have both moved more and more left. Republican values haven’t really changed, just became more tolerant of the left’s bullshite. The left, however, are constantly changing their “values”.

There are democrats who hate other democrats because they’re not progressive enough. No republicans should be okay with what he said, even the Never Trumpers.

Hell, not being progressive enough of a democrat is a problem to them…

If you use Ben Shapiro as the bellweather for neutral to non-Trump Republican, he thought this was horrific optics for the Democrats.

I don’t think most Republicans care. It’s just political talk and over the past 3 years they are not even listening or care unless the candidate says something stupid.

So what do you think THEIR distinction is or where it lies between the two?

I have posted this before and will do so again

They are the Nazis

They are the racists

They are the fascists


They have been in control of cities like New Orleans and Atlanta since 1880

If racism still exists there, it is because they either do not want to fix it or they’re too stupid to fix it

I’ll let the contrarian try to explain the so called subtle nuances

Prefer a different candidate, but “support” Trump out of necessity. “Back door MAGA” you could call us.

Its not that the GOP has moved left, its that the Neocons took over the party in the Late-Reagan/Bush I years and its taken forever to purge them. The GOP as a whole has absolutely become more populist, more in line with the voters, its not even a question, but the established old guard had so many barriers (plus so many legacy neo-cons) they've had to overcome. We're inching closer to being a lot more populist though, when you have 100 MTGs in the House and 10 in the Senate, it just becomes impossible for the GOP establishment to not align with the populist factions.

As a not again Trumper, I don't pay attention to Biden or Trump. I'm just hoping something better comes along in 2024. There will never be 100 MTG in the House or 10 in the Senate. She's a fraud that has the IQ of about 50. She just likes to hear herself talk. There is zero substance behind anything she says.

No such thing as a non-MAGA Republican- you are either conservative or you are not. There is no middle ground.

Do you pretend Biden was simply speaking “for Biden” last night?
