He’s saying that you quoted a former RNC head dismissing Trump to make the point that the Republican Party isn’t about Trump, considering that Steele probably considers himself still a Republican. But I agree with you is that the party is who it elects (especially to high-profile positions) and the current Republican Party is a racist, xenophobic, anti-intellectual tub of shit. The fact that some moderates still maintain the Republican label is a testament to the propaganda that party excels in, as if being a Republican is somehow a badge of honor instead of a club of assholes.
and that's misunderstanding that trumps largely carrying out republican goals of the last four decades just more brazenly than prior leaders, if you got conned that this wasn't what the party was you'd leave the party. if you just don't like how gross he is, that's not a functional disagreement. especially from someone like steele who oversaw massive gerrymandering operations, like why did you think they were doing that? you can't logically square these things is my entire point without elite delusion
Sure. I made the comment that there were republicans who still exist that lost control of the party to Trump’s base. You said it was impossible to be a republican and not be in his base. And then you posted a tweet of a current republican (still registered) who was the former national party chair, that lost control of his party to Trump’s base and has bashed them since, and who rightfully just called out his bullshit about mail in voting.
see above, I didn't LITERALLY mean you couldn't still be registered as one, it's that logically it makes zero sense
Close. I was not saying that the party isn’t about the base. It certainly is. I was saying there are those who won’t vote for Trump who are republicans. Do you think Mitt Romney is voting for Trump?
I think Romney would, actually. But I think labeling yourself a Republican now means that you agree with what the party currently is. I think Justin Amash embodies what I mean — he was a Republican, realized that’s being an actual Republican in 2020 didn’t line up with what he believes, and decided to drop the Republican label. The current Republican Party is Trump. He’s taken over. If you ain’t for Trump, stop clutching to the Republican label.
Do I think he will be open about not voting for him or advocate against him? No. Do I think he will vote for him after everything that has happened? Also no.
I would love to know what Americans would be doing if the government was not giving out any information, models or anything from the government. That’s what dumb fuck Trudeau is doing.
Basically today the Governor ordered Tybee Island to comply with his order that the beaches be re-opened.
I believe that there are many within the GOP who believe that the evangelical movement since the 80s has not been good for the party. There has been that debate within the party since they took hold. Perhaps those who are staying are hoping to retake the party? Does that mean voting against the conman who led the dumb scared bigots to the White House this go around to save the party? I’m not trying to defend the policies of the party by any means. Only that I think not everyone in it will vote for Trump.
When trump blocked all the Asian flights, they all went to Vancouver and then they came across to the US. Wonder boy Trudeau
I think 95 percent plus definitely will vote for him. I think he does a lot of what they want but is too brazen about it. But I’m sorry, if you’re (not you personally, the royal you) adamant about calling yourself a Republican right now, then you are part of the problem.
You're talking about a country that does vastly more for their citizens than the US. We don't wanna hear it.
Yeah, I don’t need Dick Snot’s pro-Trump rhetoric ITT. The only leaders possibly handling this worse than Trump are Boris and Iran.
Trump is the distilling tube that strips away all of the phony fluff of the GOP for the last 3 decades. All that remains is the pure, disgusting, evil entity that the R party is. We get more facts from the Twitter feeds of journalists with their sources than we do from the administration.
Just found out from my parents that my aunt tested positive and has been battling a fever. This is all fucked.
Can I introduce you to the president of the Philippines who ordered the military to kill his own citizens
Please stop with the misinformation. The airlines cancelled their flights from China to the US, Trump did not.
Man, I am so sorry. Hang in there. You're a strong person doing what you're doing. Fuck cancer is right.
