There is no reason to vote Republican after Trump if they become the old McCain/Romney party again. If JD or the new MAGA Marco stays in control, I’ll keep voting for them.

Oil production goes up during Democratic administrations. In the last 50 years, the Democrats are the only party that has actually reduced deficit spending. Individuals have more rights during Democratic administrations. Democrats don’t require daily outrage and chaos.

What Democrats do require is oversight. Gotta keep an eye on their regulation writers.

But between the two, Republicans have shown far less ability to actually govern in the best interest of the people.

You know what the extreme alternative is, and if you vote for the independent it gets wasted. I know several people who are independent voted Trump 2024, and there were many things they disliked about him, but they were so sick of the threat of the progressives. They voted for the challenger with the best chance of winning.

The Democrats are the party of empty promises and fake tolerance. But they don’t do the evil shite that the current administration is doing right now.

Our moral compasses must be on separate planes. Democrats support/celebrate abortion, and sexual destruction of minors. To the point where taxpayers are forced to pay for it.

What are the Republicans "evil" equivalent to those 2 things??

The OP is being dramatic, but his underlying point has some validity. What have Republicans shown that proves they are worth our support once Trump is gone? Even Vance is not Trump. So if Trump can't get them to do what's best, then Vance isn't going too.

There's going to be a lethargic support for Republicans moving forward, as they're proving they can't cleanly take the enthusiastic Trump maga baton and run with it to win the race. A lethargic support doesn't win when large #s are key to the race.

All of our "winning" is via EOs, not codified laws. There's noone right now that shows they'll be able to change that in the future.

This is all bullshite.

Newt Gingrich reined in spending during the Clinton administration and that is it.

"Democrats don’t require daily outrage and chaos." - This is the most idiotic single statement ever posted on this site. You have to be a liar because nobody who possesses the ability to type is that stupid.

We saw how they stamped down the TEA party, because it was a threat to their status quo. They sidled with Democrats to do the same to Trump, but he's just too big for them to fully stop, so they're doing what they can. Put a anchor on his agenda and try to wait him out for 2 years, 4 if needed. Then take their chances with JD Vance.

We have Dems who want to put Trump (and anyone who supports him) in jail, and then we have Get-along-go-along GOP who just want to stay in DC and enjoy the benefits of being in THE CLUB.

Primary them. That's the 1st thing. But if it comes down to it, yes, vote GOP, because the alternative is becoming Canada.

Totally my point and agree. But once the same people get past the primary, then the same ol same ol continues. Which then will lead to the lethargic voter/supporter.

We need to look for the big primaries, and get the right support. The biggest one coming up next, that Ive heard of, is the Cornyn/Paxton TX Senate seat. If Paxton wins the primary that voting group will be empowered, but if Cornyn does then it won't be. That's whole state/fed level, but lots are at the district level.

Let's give an opposite example. Mike Johnson. Nice good guy, but has been a disaster. No way he's primaried. No voter is going to vote their guy out who is the house leader.

Sure it's a long game, if we ever get there, but do we have the time? Probably not but "it's the only option there is cause the opposite is so much worse". Unfortunately that has to be swallowed, repubs no that, but really isn't a good position to be in.

There really is no good choice anymore. 90% of the Rs in Congress are RINOs that are clearly compromised.

Eventually the “lesser of two evils” will put you in a position to vote for Hitler or Stalin. Voting for evil is still evil.

Also, voting for a lesser evil continues to affirm that the GOP can put forth evil candidates that will get voted for because they aren’t quite as evil as the Democrat.

But where is the line that should be drawn? If a Republican candidate is pro-abortion, anti-gun rights, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-war, pro-tax increases, etc., then what is the point of choosing them over a Democrat anyway?

Guard your conscience and vote (or don’t vote) as you will, but trust in God, not men.

The last 50 years? Dude the DNC of 50 years ago wouldn’t be allowed to participate in your party today. You freaks care about DEI (ie. Moral racism in your eyes) and sending Billion$ of tax payer dollars to NGOs to be wasted! Go hang out with your tranny boys and enjoy group think!

Well your options are:

Dildo Tranny Clownshow

Or

Spineless pussies

I’ll stick with the pussies that at least more or less love this country. Even though they lack the backbone to truly root out all its problems
