I don't judge until I see evidence so I will take you at your word for now. Who did you vote for in 2024?

Fortunately, Texas was a lock for the GOP, so I was not forced to make that choice. I could (and did) cast a protest vote for the LPA candidate without giving anything to the Dems. Yes, I fully understand that Oliver (the LPA candidate) was not a very good choice, either.

GOP in Texas House looks to have major issues. What's going on there? So you are a Mitt Romney type of Republican or better known as a RINO?

But I doubt that would be particularly productive, because I don't believe that either faction has some exclusive right to claim the "Republican" mantle. The GOP is really more of a coalition than a unified party. It always has been. Thus, the term "RINO" (no matter who uses it) is simplistic nonsense.
My key issues are Limited Government and Strict Construction. Feel free to apply whatever label makes you happy. I might agree with your characterization, and I might not.

Lots of words just to admit you voted for Kamala

Not that there was ever any real chance of you finding your way to honesty.

It’s prideful and understandable to claim “Superpower” status while simultaneously begrudgingly accepting “police the world” responsibility. The America first policy takes us down a peg to permanent Great Power status along with near peer China. I believe it’s been that way for a while and it certainly lends itself to the belief 9/11 (and the 20+ years of constant war and drain of talent and resources that it caused) was truly the beginning of the end of Superpower status for America. There were other mistakes along the way for sure. However, “Superpower” status will never be achieved again by any nation.

So we are selling out our European allies
Please take your time.
Be sure to cobble together your definition in a way that includes use (abuse) of our European Ukrainian allies as human fodder in order to "Press Putin."

I don't believe that either faction has some exclusive right to claim the "Republican" mantle.
