Too many unbelievably stubborn, dull witted people have it in their mind they’re sticking it to the L or R party or individual by not voting. Then whine about the results. It’s the weakest cope, the lamest flex one can do.

She put it perfectly when she said " Its our responsibility to vote and your inaction means you own what happens next". I understand people being upset with a couple of things Trump has done but he has also done a lot of what we voted for. Sometimes you have to do some things you do not want to in order to accomplish the end goal. Being stubborn is not an option. If in action turns any power back over to the democrats, it could possibly undo what has been accomplished and set us back on a track where we will never dig out of this. We were almost there before.

I’ve been hearing this mantra of just vote the communist in and then people will see what they’re really about since ‘92.

Problem is, once they’re in power they aren’t easily removed.

We know what Democrats are. We see the socialist in Europe and that is exactly what they want here. Chaos, open borders, destruction, violence.

It’s not complicated.

All Trump and the Republicans had to do to win was do what they said they would do. How hard could that have been?

You saying they didn't shut down USAID, the illegal migration trains, and start prosecuting fraudsters ?

Pretty sure they did all that.


Would I have loved if he didn't kick the ant hill of Iran? Maybe. But he knew the risk. Still took it. Must have figured it was worth it.

Evidently pretty hard as democrats get worse with each action taken place. Rooting evil out isn’t easy

I don’t expect Democrats to improve. I don’t expect anything from them. I just expect Republicans to do the things they campaigned on, and I know if the they do then they win elections.

When they don’t, then they don’t, and then the losing is on them, not in how crazy democrats have become.

Trump has done or has tried to do everything he said he would do. There are two main things that have stopped him: the Republican Party and stacked courts. Not sure what else he can do besides what he’s done so far

They've done plenty of positive things that you've asked for. You're just pissy that he did something you didn't like.

And instead of being a rational adult, you have to say he hasn't done anything right. You can't just be honest and practical. You have to be emotional.

It's amazing how quickly conservatives forget how bad democrat authority is. Are you not paying attention to deep blue areas?

Trump attacked a foreign country, so you are going to destroy your own country in response. That's some 4D chess right there.

I think some of the problems is people not knowing history. Either not being taught, being taught to glorify the reds, or being mislead about it by others.

A communist take over is a take over by dictatorship. And it's followed by blood and imprisonment. A Lot of the two.

These people talking about Trump didn't do this, didn't do that, blah blah

They forget. 25 Executive orders addressing campaign promises, right after the inauguration.

Demonstrably false. But you know that, and justify.

Nope. I’m disappoint that they didn’t do what they said they would do. Who wouldn’t be?

absolute truism =

We have to also take into consideration that POTUS is privy to a host of international security information that we may never see or may not be entitled to see at all.

We have no idea what information prompted the destruction of Iran's nuclear facility - we may never know unless some fukcing democrat decides to use it for election purposes.

I believe that IF Trump was 'going off the rails' with the Iran action with no real substantive information, many would have resigned in response.

No so with democrats - I sincerely believe that the current democrat party is totally anti-American - that their fondest desire is to take over all the controls of the federal government so they can re-construct our national polices to mimic USSR/NK absolute control over all aspects of personal activity.

We MUST try to survive for another decade and let this current gang of communists die away and others brought to justice.

I agree with what she is stating, but conscientious abstention IS a vote. I am allowed to abstain. In fact, if everyone stayed home and didn’t vote, I’m not sure what would happen Constitutionally. But I have the right to abstain. It’s rare that I use it, but I do.

Most people who don’t vote are apathetic and that’s different. Never/Rarely voting at all takes on the kind of accountability she is talking about. But I have the right to abstain for any reason I wish.

I guarantee you that if he had told America in October 2024 that he was gonna do this, Kamala fricking Harris would be President today.

The guy who promised no new wars turned around and got us into a war with no end in sight. The American people didn't have a say. Well, in November, they get to have a say. Will the Republicans keep either the House or the Senate? I have no idea. We'll see. I hope they do. But if they don't, the central reason will be the economic impact of the war, and voters may very well decide that they can put an end to it by cutting off the money by voting in the Democrats.

100%.

I’m not sure who it is exactly they believe they “are teaching a lesson to” but at the end of the day, they are simply letting others decide their future.

I think much of the 'history' being taught has been filtered through a pro Lefty perspective. And done so for a good 50-60 years. If not more.

I recall being taught in HS that we were taxed 'too little' in comparison to Europe. That was 40+ years ago. I remember on civics teacher talking about how costly it was to grow grain for cattle, and that we could get more food per acre if we stuck to a more plant based diet. And while there's some truth to these things, they don't teach the whole story. Certain key components are left out, on purpose.
