re: John Cornyn getting booed at Texas GOP convention for his red flag laws vote

I have never seen so-large a collection of out-of-touch, far right wing wackos in one building ... before or since.

It’s kind of amazing how out of touch people like you are.

I can assure you that audience is very representative of the GOP voter…which is about to show how much of a majority it is in midterms.

But, people like you can lie to themselves.

Far right wing doesn't exist. It's the 2nd amendment. It's always been the hill to die on for the right. What you call far right is normal right. It just looks far when you look at it from the new center, which is now left.

They are indeed very representative of primary voters and (especially) of the folks who stick around after the polls close for the precinct convention.

They are decidedly-not representative of those who generally vote GOP in the general election.

The Dems have the same issue, of course.

The fricking right wing in this country better learn a hard reality.

You may not like the so-called RINOs, but when they are in charge, ridiculous shite doesn't happen. Republicans CAN NOT CONTROL THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT THEM.

If you are hating John Cornyn, then God help us. You can not win a majority in either chamber with nothing but MTG and Tom Cotton disciples.

I mean the guy (is) very far left. To him everyone is a right wing wacko.

You people see anything left of the John Birch society is being either RNOs or communists… which in your mind is roughly the same thing anyway. The real-world Center-Right is your Leftist boogyman.

You live in a very insular little bubble.

You are Pauline Kael, not understanding how Nixon won, since no one in her circle voted for him.

Oh look the liar is lying again.

Just so much stupid

You see anyone right of Mao as far right.

you are an idiot.

Ted Cruz is not “far right.“ He is a reasoned, limited government proponent, even if a bit more SoCon then I would prefer on social issues.

Donald Trump is not “far right.“ For from it. He is a centrist, protectionist, populist demagogue, with no apparent coherent political philosophy beyond saying what he thinks people want to hear. But definitely not “far right.“

Among elected officials in DC, the only “far right“ nutcases that I can think of off the top of my head would be people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and her close allies.

Kyle Rittenhouse killed people because he didn’t like them! -Lying Hank

Why do you lie so much?

what I said was that Kyle Rittenhouse was not going to get preferential college admissions simply because Rittenhouse killed someone that a poster named ReadyPlayer1 did not like.

I expressed no opinion whatsoever as to Rittenhouse’s like or dislike for those two individuals (3, if we include Lefty).

Are you too stupid to grasp the difference, or do you just not care? In my mind, the answer is a coin flip.

This thought process is how the Trump phenomenon happened…and why we’ve almost lost the entire country.

The right wing needs to drag the party WAY to the right. And politicians who think gun control is reasonable need to be removed from office.

And people like you and him need to start recognizing that it is YOU who needs to make the tough choice to support the right wing because the alternative is communism.

The pendulum of GOP voters has shifted. It’s either MAGA or communism. Make your choice.
