The conservatives (or anyone that doesn't believe in the loonies policies) have one choice...

Either understand the new weapons of war or get crushed like a grape in the middle of the road and eventually will be wiped off the map.

It really is that simple.

- plausible deniability
- prosecution discretion
- with a touch of the enemy of my enemy is my friend

Prosecution discretion = Prosecution protection

Pretty much all states are not purple at least.

Also the Trump factor and who he backs and do his supports still follow his lead or do they stay home and give the Dems the win.

Many GOPe see Trump as the Pied Piper that fooled everyone by cult of personality. But the truth is that people saw him as a figurehead of the sentiment -- despite his obvious and deep flaws. So, I wonder what his future influence will be.

the GOPe has made a bad gamble by joining in with the fringe left in the name of "unity".

I couldn't agree more. F those assholes. They shite all over the 75M of their own party's voters thinking it was all about Trump.

They are counting on people forgetting by then. They are probably correct.

If mail in voting continues, you can basically forget about winning another election that matters

I want every single Republican to lose the race the next 10 years. I want us to become the most communistic socialistic country that’s ever happened on the face of the earth. I want it coming out of our nostrils. This is what America wants I hope they get what they want. Maybe something good will come out of the ashes one day.

My dad is helping 1000 poor Guatemalans come in this country as we speak - he’s making sure they go straight to Chattanooga since they voted for this crap. Give the people what they want

You need to drop politicians caring about you or anyone else. They do not care about you. No one cares about you other than your family, close friends and possibly your church. No one else gives a damn whether you live or die, especially some politician. The only thing that matters to them is your vote and getting as rich as they can from their position.

meh, the House pubs will fare better than the Senate pubes if they can get McCarthy to stop acting like a little bitch and fall in line more with resistors like Gaetz and rising stars like Boebert.


They would be better off to consolidate their power and replace McCarthy as House minority leader with one of their own ranks.....McCarthy is owned lock, stock, and barrel by Turtle.

I agree with getting rid of the swamp rats that we feel have betrayed us. But we can’t sit there and just not vote in the general elections when it comes to the senate. We all complain about socialism taking over this country (rightfully so), well if we don’t go vote then we’re just easing the pathway for that to happen. I know both parties suck. They always have, it’s nothing new. It’s always a choice between the lesser of two evils. If you choose not to vote anymore that’s your right, but don’t complain about socialist policies being shoved down your throat in the future.

I hear you but don't agree. We've tried this strategy for 30 years and the GOPe out plays us every time by funding the primary such that their guy wins the nomination by pretending to be conservative. And, the net result is those very same socialist policies -- only later. And why would the GOPe leadership change now? Their strategy is winning.

So, I agree with you that the best scenario is to be very active in the primary season but if a GOPe/RINO wins the nomination, it's time to sit this one out. Only when they lose will the leadership start to change.

- Crush Red/Swing States into Submission until the required number of States are obtained
- Constitution Convention to redraft the Constitution as they see fit.... complete destruction of State and personal Rights


Yes, this is a pretty good list, but the vote counting thing is unnecessary.

If gerrymandering / voter suppression could be addressed in any meaningful way the rest of the list would sort itself out. If Texas alone could be un-gerrymandered it would already be game over.

Smart Republicans know this, which is why so many of them fell in line behind Trump - it was their last best chance to preserve minority rule in this country. If he wasn't such a frickwit it might have worked, who knows. If all goes well we'll never see a President elected with fewer votes than his opponent.

Oh, sorry the personal rights thing is not on the list, do what you like there, except maybe take up arms against the country.

You make a solid point. Hopefully enough Republicans can see past the RINO establishment pick in the primaries and choose the outsider who actually cares. I do think that is certainly possible in the next election cycle with nearly 80% of registered Republicans standing with trump. But we will see.

Win the internal battles by weeding out the RINOS. Primary all of them. They might change parties but there's no room for them over there as they will quickly find out.

Get rid of the Romneys, the Murkowskis, clean out the weaklings from the House. Get rid of the Georgia scum and those like them in the state races.

Don't let a Bush or anyone like him lead the ticket in 2024.

Republicans are stupid. They only just barely talk a good game. They don't have nearly the organization thst Democrats do. Organization wins elections more than rhetoric or philosophy. Getting butts to the polls wins elections. Being on the ground, organizing and seeding the ground . Getting with the grass roots groups wins elections. Republicans are good at shaking down the money. But little else that is politics

Agree. Hopefully, this is the turning point.
