re: Republicans need to turn back to being conservative

I think we need to get rid of any serious delusions about "paying down the debt" because that's just not going to happen.
The goal should be to incrementally reduce the deficit in ways that don't seriously undermine GDP growth.
There might be some hope that AI can help us figure this out over the long term but that takes a lot of optimistic assumptions to go right.

Nope. No one will ever vote for that brand of politics ever again and I will actively vote against them.
Either they go away quietly or we hand them over directly to the communists.

Yeah, good thing we chose the guy who actually got us into another war and has done a shite job with the economy, as opposed to the guy who has a proven record of fiscal competence and doesn’t show any evidence of being willing to get us into a long-term war.
Great job, primary voters!
You should start a new party!

MAGA and conservatism mix like oil and water…
Smaller government vs enforcing family values
Property rights vs data centers
Free market capitalism vs tariffs
Reduce debt and spending vs foreign wars

Aren't you the dumbass who thinks Muslim officeholders are not any sort of indicator of a problem?
Insult me some more.

Dude wouldn't even fight to save his party from what we have now. Took a dive a few days before New Hampshire. Dude spent more effort helping his wife steal 10 million, to fight something 56% of florida voters wanted.

I understand that not all offices are equal and some stupid loon making fear porn threads without understanding the concept of numbers is something that shouldn't be taken seriously. I'm sorry that you do not.

Other than debt and spending, those are Republican mainstays, especially with Trump and MAGA. But that wasn't good enough.
Because Republicans spend too much, we gave power to a party who will not reduce spending and take away from all those other areas.
I understand being unhappy with Republicans. What I can't figure out for the life of me is why so many conservatives think giving power to the enemies of America is a good response to your side not being perfect.

The issue is that MAGA has hijacked the party after we were kind enough to let them in. They keep costing us races by nominating bad candidates who either lose, or if they win the celebration is short-lived because they frick things up and usher in a blue tsunami.
MAGA claims to hate everything leftist and woke yet they worship a guy who has played footsie with social talking points, attacked more conservative Republicans from the left, and believes that Bruce Jenner, a biological man, is somehow a beautiful woman named “Caitlyn.”
Y’all view politics like WWE and just want to be entertained. Y’all will choose RINO’s like Trump, Vivek, and Kari Lake-Abrams over a fire-breathing conservative like DeSantis every day of the week because they are “entertaining.”

Oops, you really told us!
Now you went out and voted for the most entertaining government in history!
Don't threaten a nihilist with a good time!
what is your definition of a "RINO"? the guy that the RINOs destroyed 2 Congresses just so they could spite him?
John Thune, the true conservative fighting that "RINO"

You still don't get it. This election was a referendum on Trump's idiocy
And Trump was allowed to regain power because of the idiocy of voters like you

Someone pretending to be a Republican that sabotages the party and helps the Dems.
Trump would qualify because of the following:
-Celebrated when Michael Bennet, a woke Democrat, won re-election in 2022
-Went out of his way to sabotage the Republicans ahead of the 2021 runoff
-Did everything possible to prevent a red wave in 2022 by hand-picking/installing shite candidates
-Has repeatedly played footsie with and parroted social talking points (economy, entitlements, etc.)
-Said Stacey Abrams would be a better Governor than Brian Kemp
-Said Cuomo and Newsom did better on COVID than DeSantis
-Praised Charlie Crist’s job as Governor compared to DeSantis
-Attacked pro-life Republicans
-Got us involved in a war and hurt the economy, which ushered in a blue tsunami
-Believes that Bruce Jenner is a woman named “Caitlyn”

You say you understand why people are disappointed with Republicans, so you're halfway there. What's your proposed solution? Change the party from within? Great! But most people have jobs, kids, bills, and other demands on their time. They don't have the time and/or inclination to spend years lobbying their own party to change course.
So they use the most convenient straightforward leverage they have: their vote. They say, "If you won't deliver, frick you. I'll vote against you, and maybe the next guy will get the message."
This isn't some new phenomenon or a uniquely conservative betrayal. Democrats crossed party lines to elect Reagan out of dissatisfaction with Carter. Democrats punished Clinton by handing Republicans control of Congress for the first time in 40 years. Neither required those voters to suddenly embrace every policy of the opposing party.
This is how American electoral politics has worked for generations. Parties that fail to satisfy their voters lose elections. And if a party can count on your vote no matter how badly it performs, what incentive does it have to listen to you in the first place?
