It's true. Looks how much damage Biden did with just 4 years. We simply cannot survive 4 more years of lawlessness and open borders.

We All Need to Stick Together

These are serious responses, not a troll or insult. I don't see much serious dialog here, but, here goes...

1. Might want to let Trump (and the GOP) know about this plan. People are really getting tired of the stiff arm and having it taken for granted that they'll still show up on election day out of fear of the other side winning. It did not work for Democrats in 2024. Many they were counting on stayed on the couch and some they were counting on went to the other side and voted R. Independent voters continue to grow in number and they need a reason to vote D or R. If they don't get it, they'll go 3rd party or sit at home.

2. Why should anyone take you seriously on this when you incessantly post about 'panicans' rather than trying to rally people together so we can avoid the destruction of the nation? Being honest here, not trying to troll or insult you. Trump and much of MAGA alienate a good number of people with these tactics.

3. Democrats were infuriated by 2016 and they did their best to destroy the nation in 2020. They're going to re-double their efforts for 2028. I agree with your message here about unity. That said, MAGA and Trump need to figure out how to bring people together and not just hope that people fear Democrats so much that they vote R. This message also needs to get to congressional Republicans, particularly those in the Senate. Even the House is jacked up. They can't even get rid of the kill switch mandate which is overt surveillance. It would only take one cycle of ballot box revolt (particularly in the primary) against Senate Republicans to bring them in line, and people refuse to do it. You get about 17 Republicans each two year cycle, and if you can toss just 1/3 of those, that's enough of a number to prevent them from operating with the status quo and enough to scare the other 17 or so coming up in the next two year window, to change what they're doing. In a six year window you can get turnover in about 18 Senate seats and in a body of just 100, that's huge.

4. I've voted out of fear in the past. I dislike both sides but I've voted R because I'm especially fearful of the lunacy of the DNC. I'm done with that, however. GOP are born losers, then they go to DC and perfect losing and pulling the rug out from under their constituents. I'm never voting for that ever again.
I did everything you're supposed to do. Stayed out of trouble. Got an education through high school and college. No drugs. No crime. No vices. I've been a part of two wars. What did it get me? Nowhere. My life has been ruined by corruption embedded in DC and it's literally cost me everything. I tried to do the right thing and make a difference. It got me nowhere. If other people are not in this sincerely, but instead just want to score points for a preferred ideology and not for the nation and our future, then I'll just sit back and watch my country collapse. I'm just one guy.

Kant said that comfort and convenience were enemies of enlightenment and reason. He was probably right. We've had it too easy for too long and now we're headed down a path to self-induced demolition. It'll have to implode for people to get serious about this, return to reason, enlightenment, and a true desire for freedom along with the responsibility that comes with it.

Republicans are very united. Trump has a 95% approval rating. What we see on this board isn’t real life. These are basically what Rush Limbaugh use to call “seminar callers.” They get their daily Reddit/DU talking points and come here to troll.

frick the mid-terms!

The chance to enact REAL change is coming in the primaries in a couple of weeks. You actually get to CHOOSE who the best candidate is for your party by voting for them.

Not participating in the primaries is the number one reason why we get shite candidates. The votes recorded in the next few weeks can ACTUALLY change the direction of the country.

This is your opportunity. Once it has passed, we are stuck with whatever candidates win.

There is a reason they don't do "get out the vote" stuff at this point. THEY Don't WANT YOU TO VOTE!

The Republicans are nowhere even remotely close to destroying the Democrat Party, as the tweet you posted suggests. In fact, the Republicans and Democrats are on the same team. They can all eat my balls.

There's a large number of so called Republicans on this board who spend more time and energy on hating Republicans than Democrats. All the "panican" talk from certain people and all the people with Massie/Rand/DeSantis derangement syndrome aren't helping anything either.

That's message board banter. Both sides like to poke each other. It shouldn't be a reason to let the democrats win.

Why do you need Trump to give you a reason to vote against democrats? Do you not see the future the democrats want for us? Are you willing to take their authoritarianism because the Republicans aren't giving you everything you want?

Alright. Enjoy watching the democrats win. Just don't blame Trump voters for the loss when you sit at home.

I love despair as much as the next guy, but this is the first administration in most of our lifetimes to actually work towards the country we want. It's not perfect and we all want it to move faster, but let's not jump off the bridge just yet.

We still have 2 years of Trump after the midterms, and you're willing to just throw it away. You don't even want to give him a shot to see it through. You want to give up halfway through because it's looking tough.

Let's wait until the democrats win before we give up, not let them win because we gave up. You being despondent and apathetic is exactly what the democrats and globalists want. If you're going to give up, please try not to spread it.

True - this may be the 'magic moment' - IF we could only have a secure election, we could put an end to this charade that has been growing stronger over the past 3 decades.

We are certainly at a true turning point that may not be approached again if we let it slip by this time.

You can tell by their actions that the democrats realize this as well. The aging architects of this monstrosity are going to end in the most dishonorable a way possible. == could not happen to more deserving relics of a bad nightmare.

Your entire post is worth taking to heart by all true patriots - but I want to put a special commendation for this statement.

In my own lifetime, I have watched this nation go from Pearl Harbor to almost perfection, then have witnessed it's near fatal affliction with the most evil malignancy known - starting with Clinton, advanced by Obama, revealed with all its vulgar ugliness by biden. Any succession of that degenerate trend will be irrecoverable.

I Truly fear for the future on my great-grandchildren

The conservatives you elect in Congress are wrecking it just a little more slowly.

It always amazes me anytime the republicans gain power you can always rely on a hand full of them deciding their role is to start going against the party. It’s almost like watching WWE. It is nice to see the dems have at least one thorn in their side now too with Fetterman.

Naw. I won't listen to fear-based arguments as I don't let emotions guide my decision-making.

You do you, though.

Yep

the entire spectrum IMO is due for a shift to the right. All of it. And if we need a four-party system to accomplish it, then so be it.


but the Ds and Rs won't allow this to happen if they keep having their way.

Rs are basically wannabe limousine liberals now. They'll wear farmer outfits and stand next to an old Ford F-150 during campaign season and then when elected, they just shite all over the people who voted for them, all day every day. And bow down to liberal social policies to fit in with their rich friends at "high society" dinners.

Ds are for "demon," like the ones standing there by Joe Biden while his pedo arse is fondling their 10-year-old daughters in front of the cameras. Senators just standing there giggling like it's cute. That's something out of Caligula or Nero mentality. And the media didn't say a fricking word about it.

Rs and Ds both keep printing money, and that doesn't hurt the wealthy, it kills the middle and lower class. And it makes financing a run for office basically impossible for the common person.
