Face it, if you've been in office five+ years and never move toward cutting spending AT ALL, then you never will.

Just an excuse to avoid blaming yourself for not fighting as the country collapses around you.

You prefer to give up and live on your knees than fighting for what you think is right. When so many people share that sentiment, is it any wonder the right doesn't make any progress?

I'm glad our Founding Fathers weren't as weak as modern conservatives.

"A republic, if you can keep it."

Apparently, many conservatives aren't interested in that.

A lot of people would see things more clearly about what's going on today if they studied Yuri.

There has been some success. Probably not as much as anyone had hoped for or perhaps predicted, but things have changed.

This is a broader issue though. We did not suddenly wake up and found ourselves in this position. The liberals/progressives/Democrats/socialists/etc. spent decades moving us to this point. They never gave up because they didn't get everything they wanted in a 2-year timeframe. I don't think we should either. Win little battles and keep pressing.


It can't be said any simpler than this.

Far too many conservatives literally expected Trump to completely change the decades-entrenched establishment in only a handful of years.

And since their unrealistic expectations weren't met, they want to throw their hands in the air and declare there is no hope. After pretending that there was nothing accomplished at all.

Conservatives everywhere did nothing while the democrats spent decades taking over every institution. Now, they want to solely blame Trump for not fixing it all in 2 divided terms while the establishment fought for their lives.

They are willing to throw away everything they have because they couldn't get everything they wanted in the time timeframe they wanted it in.

That selfish, myopic attitude will be the death of this country.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Conservatives are about to prove this by sitting at home.

Thune and the Senate GOP have made it pointless.

There ain’t a dimes worth of difference btwn democrats and GOPe.

It’s the same thing with different marketing.

I can’t and won’t endorse communists, but the GOPe offers communism lite. Keeping these fossils in there won’t change anything. Because Chuck Grassley needs a new term to continue sending out press releases

You're emotional. It's making you say silly things that are not true.

I asked - what can we do about it?

Me continuing to support these assholes in the senate isn’t doing anything to change them. They are fricking delusional and think they have a mandate. I am Tired of reinforcing that belief

There would be few if any deportations. There would be more climate garbage hysteria and less dependable and more expensive everything coming down the road because of more over regulation. Everyday would be gayday. DEI would be on steroids. The country would be ran like California. Oregon, and Washington. More giveaways. More handouts. Criminals would be getting hand slaps. Nationwide mail in voting. Venezuela would still be an enemy instead of a new ally. The US would be pouring hundreds of billions more into Ukraine. More green scams. Less energy exploration.


We still have all of this

And how is electing a Democrat going to fix the issues you stated? How many times do they have to proven corrupt for you to believe it?

Tell me about it. My choice for U.S. senator is a Muslim communist who supports transitioning children and a GOPe/MIC/surveillance state stooge.

You're seriously uncertain about which one to vote for? I hope you're just shite posting.

It will eliminate the existing GOPe power base.

In my state Letlow and whoever comes out of BRLA will undoubtedly be Republicans.

If I lived in TX FWIW, I would be motivated to vote in Paxton. Not bc Talarico is a closeted homosexual, an uncloseted communist, but bc he is the exact opposite of someone like Cornyn. And ironically, if a Democrat gets elected there it will be bc Cornyn and the rest of the GOPe sabotaged Paxton. Why? BC there’s no fricking difference btwn John Cornyn, and John Thune and Talarico. Aside from the fact that they say Muh Transgenders in different ways.

Ole Super Dave. How’ve ya been, pal?

On topic: Whether he’s shite posting or being sincere, he’s perfectly ok with coming off as such. Poster isn’t exactly a practical joker, and views himself as an enlightened, contemplative poster who’s merely calling balls and strikes (never mind the 98% negative postings on the subject of Trump, any and all subject). So my view - that’s how he wants folks to see him, through that lens, and I’m going to accommodate him.
