with HUGE single digit majorities and a lot of self-serving RINOs included

Republicans in DC are the most useless thing in the world.

Can’t disagree with anything you wrote

As long as 90% of registered voters sit at home and eat Twinkies on primary election day, nothing will change.
If even 25% of registered voters got off the couch for the primaries, we could elect candidates who would reflect the will of the people. Because if they didn't, they'd only get one term. And they would know it.
With 90% of the voters not bothering to participate in that phase of the cycle, they know they're safe as kittens.
It would be easy to change this.

Right now? If you’re under 45, you’ve had the worst political options in our country’s history on both sides for your entire adult life.

I’ve said this ad nauseam on this board: Libertarian Party or Constitution Party are both viable outlets for true conservatives in America. Stop voting for socialists: Rs and Ds.

The federal government is beyond saving. I think there are still a lot of good people at the state/local level.

This isn’t true and just turns everyone off. It’s Bush second term rhetoric. It was retarded then and it’s retarded now.
Trump chose Israel and it will cost him his legacy and possibly his presidency.
And he deserves it for being such a fricking buffoon and falling for Netanyahu’s bullshite. The king of unforced errors made a fatal blunder.

Well when my options are blue tie war in Ukraine or red tie war for Israel it’s hard for anyone to give a shite. You’re a fricking sucker for participating in the Kayfabe.

Probably time for a totally new system

I can understand being frustrated but I have no idea how that frustration then turns into "let's elect the same jew hating, terrorist loving, open borders, the US sucks" trash we had the previous four years. Things arent ideal but they can and will get much worse once Dems are back in charge. Do you not believe them when they say what they're gonna do when back in power? I guarantee you its a lot worse than high gas prices.
What?? Both presidents are jewish sellouts. Dont forget that. The long nose tribe has its fingers in every pie.

No, they fooled you into thinking you voted someone in that was not already part of the swamp. and everyone fell for it.

Many are glossing over this fact. Our elections are rigged and every other problem is secondary to this! If our leaders are fake and paid or coerced to betray us, we are slaves and this is all a sham.
Our government is full of criminals (many perverts) chosen to occupy their positions specifically because their corruption or compromise (or both) allows for their total control.

This is the only way to look at it. The solution is to elect better Republicans, not give power to democrats.
MAGA has kicked several RINOs to the curb, but more work is needed. Instead of being willing to keep working towards better representation, conservatives give up because decades of corruption wasn't rooted out in a single presidency.
If you are smart, you build on the progress we have made. You don't burn it all down because the progress is slower than you want.
Many conservatives just can't get past their emotions to think clearly. They give up too easily because they lack fortitude. The have unrealistic expectations and then suffer a breakdown when those expectations aren't met.
Many conservatives truly expected Trump to be the savior to usher in a conservative utopia. And when he turned out to only be better than what we've had, they use words like "betrayed." They treat Trump like an expected hero instead of a politician.
I wanted more from Trump, too. But I'm a realist and not a whiner. When I'm faced with a problem, my mindset is "That sucks, but I'll deal with it." Not "I didn't get everything I want so I'm going to lose all hope."
So, I'm going to appreciate the good Trump gave us and fight for someone better, not turn the country over to people who are worse.
I grew up in a southern America where we were instilled from birth with the American can-do spirit and the rebel "frick you, I'll fight for what I want" spirit.
Conservatives will be more successful when they stop being so mentally soft.

If you dont think the Dem party has embraced jew hating, terrorist lovers (and is actively trying to get several elected) then perhaps you should consider no longer participating in the electoral process because you are clueless.

Well I can certainly understand the appeal of the Dem party to you since you'll fit right in with them. Where do you keep your white hood?

At some point, just being “not the other guys” isn’t enough. If people keep voting a party in and that party never really delivers anything, eventually that catches up with them. That’s a recipe for disaster and nothing ever being accomplished.

Tell me how we would be better off if we all just sat this one out and let the democrooks take over, because I have a good list of how we’d be worse off. The sad truth is that there is a significant cuckery known as “swing voters” who are hostile to the right on social issues, but we nevertheless need their votes.
