Yep, along with RINO.

I mean, MAGA is literally a non conservative movement that hijacked the Republican party. Literally RINO

That's the deal. I don't back someone. I back policies and actions. If Musk wants to cut spending and lower the debt, I'll back Musk. If Trump does it, I'll back Trump, If some random Democrat does, I'll back that person.

The concept of picking someone over any specific policy is the very definition of a cult.

While backing MJ as House speaker.

They blame Paul Ryan for everthing during the first term. No fan of Ryan. But I'm starting to wonder if he was really the problem... RINOs seem to be getting everything they want in Trump 2.0, just like they did Trump 1.0.

Did you see anything in what I posted that indicates I want no government at all?

It's really simple. Entitlements have to be cut.

How many entitlement programs are there, prof? And what are they? Now that you’ve locked yourself into there being one or two entitlement.

Good grief. SS and Medicare are the biggest. How do you not know this? Since you don't, we're going to have a hard time having any kind of rational conversation. Go read up on entitlements.

What a pathetic attempt at a "gotcha".

I liked Elon, but I lost a lot of respect for him after his childish melt.

And federal unemployment. And housing subsidies. Welfare, SNAP. So no you damn idiot, it’s a little more complicated and far reaching than “cut muh entitlements.”

Those don't amount isht compared to SS/Medi. SS, Medicare, and Medicaid make up 44% of federal spending--by themselves.

No. It really isn't.

Entitlements:

Limit Veteran Disability checks to combat Veterans
Cut SSec by 50% with a phase out plan for individuals 40 or younger. By 2050 eliminate SSec entirely.
Cut Medicare by 50%

Military:

Cut DoD Budget to serve national defense AT HOME. Ideally the DoD should run at half the cost it does today. Eliminate all dispersion of money to other countries that are not bound by treaty or exceptional business deals.

Jobs:

Create legislation through tax and incentives to drive companies back to the US to get these people back to work.
H1B's are ended and all that are on current contracts immediately see a 50% bump in salary the following tax year. (This should eliminate slave H1B wage).
Punitively tax all companies who move services to known 3rd world labor countries.

Cultural:

Eliminate DEI

Immigration:

Halt all standard immigration, and have limited slots for truly exceptional individuals.



Then lets see where that takes us.

To fair, they BOTH have some fixing of the rift to do. It's not only on Trump to fix the rift.

Someone does not have to "back" one over the other. Some can understand that they agree on about 80% of issues and those 80% are what would get this nation back on the right track. Some can understand that the country is better off when Trump and Musk are working together and lament they are at odds.


I came to post something to this effect but exactly. This doesn’t have to be an either/or equation.

I believe that the BBB is an abomination. Yet I also believe Musk acted like a petulant teenager and undermined his own cause by attempting to goad Trump into a war of words.

It is possible to agree with Musk on an issue yet disapprove of his tactics. And it likewise is possible to disagree with Trump on a particular policy issue yet still support many aspects of the MAGA agenda.
