I always just wanted to use DJT to tear open the scabs over almost all DC departments via audits and such. Figured it would get him killed. Not constantly impeached

I find it odd that the most hedonistic GOP president ever, who has openly praised and shown support for for the lgbtq community, and said the Dobbs decision was politically bad for Republicans is somehow supposed to be the leader of the fight for traditional values. Most of this happened under his watch or because he lost 2020 to a dementia patient.


Dude listen he totally became anti-abortion at some vague point in his life and he says things like "Two Corinthians" because he is legitimately religious, too.

What does MAGA stand for again? Probably has something to do with it.

Yeah, sure. Try to escape being owned by pulling your own version of alluding to Harry Potter

I'd be embarrassed, too.

How do you unmeddle a group or movement that has become so entrenched in meddling in EVERYTHING?

You realize the emoji thing is really dumb, right. Like I said, autism is a crippling disease.

I find it odd that Trump was the first GOP America First president.

I have never seen the point of repeatedly arguing in favor of a proposition on which all participants are already in agreement. that is not a discussion. It is just a pep rally.


I’m not saying that we should repeatedly argue in favor of the same thing.

I’m saying yours and SFP’s arguments never seem to be heard on “things we all agree on.”

I.e. I’ve never heard you or SFP say minor gender mutilation or drag queen story hour are bad and should be culled (I’m sure I have missed one.) I’m under no impression that either of you are supporting those. But silence on those and nuanced arguments elsewhere that tend to go against conservative (however that may be defined on this board) doesn’t give the impression of the nuance that you have.

I’m fine arguing the merits of socialized healthcare, giving aid to Ukraine, baking a cake, abortion as a right, how far the 2nd amendment really goes, etc.

The frick will I have anything to do with somebody who is ok with a male shaking his dick in a kid’s face or somebody enabling a teenage girl to cut her body. I’m not saying you have to write a preamble every time on those issues but sometimes selectively remaining silent on issues “we’re already in agreement on” is why there’s more pushback.

Tactically not ideologically. Boomer conservatives like yourself had decades to apply your standards of “conservatism” through attempts at reasonable discussion.

You failed. Repeatedly.

Sometimes sunlight is the best disinfectant.

I mean they are looking to lose bigly in a few weeks. They also had a huge L last year in VA because of their insanity.

Kind of like how THIS shite, in THIS thread, will turn off the population people promoting OP would need to get a mandate for their beliefs.

That’s exactly what we wanted. Your kind couldn’t leave us alone. Maybe before it’s too late.

People on here routinely criticize his appointments for not being conservative enough

Trump picked who he was told to pick for political purposes.

Very little about Trump's politics/policies seem to reflect his actual, personal beliefs/actions. He does lots of things because we're in a democracy and he needs people to vote for him.
