Here is a post from a poster who voted in that primary.

Ah yes, the fake lawyer from Louisiana has a better pulse on why Massie lost than an actual Massie voter.

Massie jumped on the "muh Trump is a pedophile and it's in the Epstien files" that TDS democrats latched onto and are still delusionally championing.

Because Trump was doing weird bullshite like this...



"Releasing" files we already had and telling us that was everything...

Trust me, as a person who was once celebrated for having the same policy positions now making me the villain, I find this Massie Derangement Syndrome era fascinating.


You're not vilified. People love reading your melts. Don't stop.

Do you think his geographic location somehow makes him less insusceptible to influence than my geographic location does to me?

Why would I comment about that?

That's an individual-focused race without the larger conceptual discussions at play. That may have very minimal impact on the inability to define "GOPE" or "Establishment", which is a nothingburger with a guy like Cornyn. I guess if Cornyn wins, there will be some interesting "voter fraud" takes.

Your comment clearly shows you don't understand what's being discussed.

I think his reasoned explanation and his personal experience of being a Massie constituent carries more weight than a random from another state saying Massie lost because everyone else changed. At what point, does personal accountability come into play, or is it always someone else's fault why you/he/Massie lost?

Your entire argument is "well all the voters changed" meanwhile ignoring Massie's very public display and meltdown the last 3 years. But, again, it's always someone else's fault why they fail. Never the person that failed...

But if you read what he wrote, it's not in opposition to what I wrote.

I quoted the specific language in play.

What meltdown?

Well MAGA shifts and does 180s all the time. The fact that this seems foreign to you (and others) is why this MDS era is so fascinating

For example, Massie being punished for remaining consistent on his non-intervention stance, which used to be the MAGA stance. That was a key factor in why outside parties took aim at him following the 180 from MAGA when they started the neocon shift last year and made the full flip a few months ago.

You can say he "failed" by not changing, but that ignores the fact that his constituents flipped on this specific issue.

On that issue he was basically a rabid TDS Democrat. Never talked about Epstein during the Biden years and suddenly it was the most important thing in the history of the universe.


And paraded the 'victims' around and never named a single name. Let's see how much he brings up Epstein while out of office.

Ah. Well why don't you lay out how your TDS works so we can all understand how MDS works.

Or is this like you yelling "POPULIST" anytime your talking points get shot down? At least you are smart enough to not yell "RACIST", but not that smart.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.... and not once did you say that Massie self sabotaged himself. Not once did you admit that he fricked up by going to battle with Trump. Not once did you imply that he should take any responsibiity for losing.

And that shows me you are not a real man. Men take responsibility for their actions. If Massie wants to do something other than podcast and blame everyone for his mistakes, he needs to own up to why he lost. He didn't lose because he was conservative. He lost because he turned into a petty attention whore that was on full display on twitter. And the fact that his own voter stated this and you still say, "nuh uh, i'm right, everyone else is wrong" is telling.

Some people are rejecting the irrelevant whataboutism of MAGA, especially when it's an attempt to divert focus from meaningful discussion.
WTF does that even mean??

how is asking why massie didn't give a shite about epstein for the last 10 years until suddenly OMB was in office whataboutism?

seems relevant to the discussion..and why he LOST BY TEN POINTS.

not everyone is as intellectual as SFP, seems the voters all fell for 'whataboutism' and found massie to be a slimy swamp creature.

It hasnt been in the last 3 months. You can parrot that all you want but it just isnt true.

2014, 2016 and 2018 he ran unopposed. Massie was bleeding votes from 2020 to 2022 to 2024. He actually gained votes in 2026 (my guess is his stance on Israel/Iran stuff which makes you wonder how bad he would have lost if the Israel/Iran stuff wasnt happening now)

2020 to 2024 was pre-Trump spat, pre-Epstein, pre-Iran/Israel etc. The reason he lost was some othre reason than the one you are hanging onto
