If Republicans had any testicles now would be the time to go scorched earth

We are in the midst of the worst administration in United States history, with our God given rights being trampled on, inflation and crime rising at record levels, federal overreach at an all-time high, and just lost to the fricking Taliban.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. The Democrats and their media servants would have pounced all over this shite. Republicans just sit on their hands and collect a paycheck. Careful not to ruffle any feathers or say anything too critical.

I can see Mitch and Miss Lindsey saying ' Now now, let's not go acting rash. Let's just see how this plays out first, then we'll weigh our options "

Even if some spoke out the media would drown them out with propaganda and false reporting.

Nope. The narrative will be that this is a tragedy and we are the political opportunistic assholes trying to take advantage of it.

That’ll be the talking points tomorrow morning. With the backup being that this is Trump’s fault.

Remind me, how many times was Trump brought up on impeachment charges?

We are witnessing the Fall of Rome. We had a leader that put the country and it's citizens first. Half of the country snubbed him and his deeds that improved their lives for the buffoon that is on vacation while our embassy has been overrun and tons of Americans have their lives in immediate danger.

I much as I hate to say it, I just don't see us coming back from this. Too many people here, hate this country.

Agreed. But unfortunately the repubs in DC share the same views/bank accounts with these loonies in on the right. So I do t see them doing much. Oh they say mean stuff about the Dems and get the occasional sound byte in. But that’s as much of a fight as most of them are willing to put up.

RNC AWOL. Blackmailed, compromised, bought off or just lack guts with so few exceptions.

Republicans are busy drafting a bipartisan bill allowing for the immediate immigration of 100,000 Afghani refugees.

You are correct.

Republicans should say we want out of Afghanistan today. Then they should say if the Taliban interferes we support demolishing the city of Kabul.

Clearly the Taliban have the support of the people.

No. Too many people here are lazy and scared. Tens of millions of Americans that love the country just fine, but just want all the ickyness to go away because it makes their tummy hurt, so you never hear/see from them. We’re all waiting around for someone else to fix this shite.

Oh its worse than that. Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, et all, are essentially with the Democrats on every major issue. They're just for doing it at a slower pace.

You have RINOS trying to hold power. They are going after Trump and Biden.

Yep. Patriots are few and far between. Walk into the capital, get serious jail time. Lay siege to a federal courthouse for an extended period of time, you are just protesting.

We are screwed.

Even worse, there are people that are either too willfully ignorant or corrupt, that they will continue to vote for these asshat RINOS.

If we’re screwed, it’s because of ourselves, not the Left. In fact, the Left has done us the favor of making clear they are Leftists rather than the moderates they claimed to be for the last 50 years.

And we don’t have to storm anything. Nothing needs to be burned, though some pissed off conservatives could be useful. The Right just needs to start acting like it all matters beyond venting on message boards. We are 18 months into peak-BS and can you tell me about a single new organized, well-funded, well-led effort that’s combatting any one of the following: the border, censorship, the Covid bullshite, bent media, two tiered justice, Leftists running education? Why not?

It appears we need to channel our anger by keeping our eyes on the ball and winning in 2022 and taking back the House and Senate from dementia Joe. Once that is done, we can then focus on running the best candidate to take back the White House in 2024.
