Just think back at what they did to this country during COVID.. I'm just shocked not more people are pissed off just about that


Imagine if Trump actually did something about it. Imagine if there had been one high profile arrest of ANYONE during this entire term.

I would never vote for a Democrat. Ive been a conservative my whole life. But I now see that MAGA and America First are not the same thing and we were duped, so no, im not voting the midterms.

Charge who with what criminal offense?? Just curious. If you have that strong an opinion then certainly you’ve thought that through and are eager to give an immediate answer.

Go.

First, your assertions are exaggerated, second, how in the world are healthcare costs Trump's fault now?? Those have been increasing exponentially since 1980.

I can give you multiple answers. How about anyone connected with trafficking children with Epstein? Oh wait, that was a democrat hoax according to Trump(only after he was back in office).

Well how about those that stole the 2020 election? Trump said there were mountains of evidence, yet not one high profile arrest.

What about anyone that staged J6? What about Fauci and covid? What about? What about? Etc..

We voted for Trump to bring down the deep state and put Americans first. We got no arrests, deep state alive and well and Israel put first.

frick the worthless GOP, and frick Trump. They deserve what they get in November.

Weak kneed, or living in reality?

If there was nothing to be concerned about you wouldn't see so many people screaming that there's nothing to be concerned about.



OP is in for a shocker for the midterms. MAGA is deathly afraid of losing their grip on power (which they will more than likely do).

Perhaps they are living in an alternate reality where those things you mentioned aren't affecting them. For everyone else, it's very much a concern and no one from Trump on down seem to give a single shite.

Who has said they're sitting out the mid-terms?


I started a thread here recently that asked Trump voters if they were going to not vote Republican.

Over 180 responses: people who said "no" or were just not voting = 3

I didn't bookmark anyone on this forum but it seems I've read some posts here that indicate several people are done with Trump/MAGA/America First and in general, the Republican Party.


done with Trump: MAYBE, depends on the issue
MAGA/America First: NOPE
the Republican Party: YEP

Being conservative? By sitting out midterms elections?? Regardless whether it’s a close race or not.? Explain. I’m all ears and open minded.


OK. It is a form of punishing politicians who lie to us, and temporarily replacing them with trash so we can set someone who won’t lie to us.

Not weak-kneed.

Congressional GOP (especially Senate) has been worthless outside of BBB.

But frustrating inaction is better than planned destruction any day.

Slow death is the same result as a quick one, it just hurts longer.

The corporate GOP has to die and Trump sold out to them in the end. Your vote is a responsibility and that includes not using it.

How the frick did Trump sell out to them if they refuse to codify a damn thing he has done? Not one of his EO’s was put in a bill and passed.

And not voting? I’m so sick of you pussies. At least we can win on the social issues if not the financial ones. You all fail to understand this.

Do you want open borders and boys cutting their dicks off again?

Do you want girls stabbed in the neck on trains?

What about having to live under Sharia law?

That’s what you will get by not voting.

It’s be interesting to understand how many republicans are planning on sitting the election out.

I’ve been very outspoken about the Iran War on here. I still maintain it was amazingly stupid, politically and economically.

That said, I’m not sitting out the election and certainly not voting democrat.

Conservatives haven’t conserved much of anything. Just another war and more debt. We desperately need an alternative to republicans.

I never mentioned voting Democrat.

Not voting sends a message. How else to get rid of a POS like Linsee Graham in a general election? Bite the bullet for six years and take out the trash. Then, replace him with someone who cares about Americans more than Ukrainians.

Yes, I know he’s dead.

i’m considering sitting out (would never vote Dem) simply as a protest to Congressional Republicans. what have they done to earn my vote? and let’s be honest, what’s the difference between a Republican majority and a Dem majority? an investigation and failed impeachment maybe?

the point is, the Republicans need to be taught a lesson. they look at us like Dems look at blacks - a reliable vote who will never leave the plantation. if we sit this one out and let them get crushed, maybe they’ll learn. if we keep voting for them, nothing will change.

Immediate Communism! Trannies shooting people in the streets. Wealth taxes! Capital gains potential taxes! The Green New Deal! Proliferation of Sharia Law! It's going to be terrible!!

OR, we're back to a stalemate, nothing happens, and life goes on without any signficant change.
