Good riddance as we don't need you. Trump will win biggly in Nov. and the melt from the MSM will be almost as good as what the never Trumpers on this board will go through. DU will be glad to have you guys i'm sure.

You dont think they realize it?


You don't think what they have done is exactly what has been done to destroy every single politician that has been destroyed before? You can't really believe that the republican establishment secretly supports Donald Trump, can you? After what has happened over the last 6-7 years? If so, your TDS has you on a whole different planet.

JD Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tucker Carlson, Kari Lake (if she wins)...

I'd argue the Populist wing of the GOP has a deeper bench than the entirety of the Democrat party.

Why not just adopt the Democrat economic platform then? You would have far more candidates and the same outcome.

I still don't think so. 35% of the base means a much smaller percentage of the general population.

Remember, in any given election somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of eligible voters don't vote.

So when you talk about the Republican base you're talking about roughly 50% of between 50-66%. Then 35% of that.

There's a much larger group of Americans than that IMO who don't identify as members of the Trump cult or BLM or Gays for Palestine or any populist special interest group. They may vote for Trump to avoid voting for Biden, but they don't love him and they sure don't worship him like you guys.

They have a conglomerate of weird fringe groups.


That's right. You know why? Because they have been infested with populism for much longer than the Republicans. Just wait.

Those fringe groups are nothing more than populist special interest groups. And most members of them are not single issue voters...they support the party overall, they just want a special group dedicated to their pet populist grievance.

You'll see Middle Class for Fair Housing Prices or Patriots Against The Uniparty or Screw The Deep State if you just wait and this populist idiocy continues to grow. We've already had the Tea Party.

The only difference is that the leftist brand of populism classifies people based on identity politics and the right wing brand of populism doesn't (yet).

But both of y'all claim perpetual victimhood and have your Boogy Men and your conspiracy theories to prove the Boogy Men exist.


Whew... Too many words to say so little! You did well explaining YOUR Boogy Man! Lol
Everyone doesn't fit into your cookie cutter categories. Label it what you choose, but people being proud of America and wishing to change its current trajectory is something shared by the majority of tax payers.
Is it a lost cause? Maybe, but we aren't willing to give up yet.

Is Trump the total answer? Nope but we are hoping he makes changes and builds momentum to build upon.

Still better than being a statist

Actually, nationalist populism leads to authoritarianism and statism.

After all, you can't have strong nationalism without having a strong state.

...says the dude that's posting charts that understate Biden's spending by a couple of Trillion from Rachel Maddow's blog.

Let that sink in.

He doesn't need the chart to prove his case.

Do you understand "his case" is that Donald Trump's economic policies are indistinguishable from the Biden presidency's?

Are you in agreement with that, as well?

In a macro sense, they arent. Some fed movements are about the only real difference in the overall performance.

Trumps were a continuation of Obamas, until 2020 when he upped the ante.

And man, did y'all complain about Obamas.

Yes, they are the same. Trump just isn't as bad as Biden.

I think Bidens also is being propped up by all the green energy money.

This Green Energy farce will fall off a cliff when subsidies wane. This is all just for temporary boost.

Okay, thanks for clarifying.

I'll add you to the list of posters who can't be taken seriously anymore as well.

Trump is a big government, statist, central planner. So is Biden. That is undeniable. If you can't see that, the issue is with you.

So is it your position that the matrxist democrats and the republican establishment AREN't big government, statist, central planners? Because both factions have gone to the ends of the world, many committing actual crimes, to destroy Trump.
