We start the posting day with a bit of good news, followed by … Christians arrested for maskless outdoor church service to get payout from liberal college town Arrests in Moscow, Idaho, drew condemnation from then-President Trump A liberal college town
The Pennsylvania GOP is a great example of a do nothing, Never Trump, money grabbing state party. A disgrace. Maybe a third party is the only answer but Trump did not go that route and he’s probably right that getting through the state’s labyrinths of voting laws is nigh on impossible in most states and certainly in all of the blue states. I think the 2024 election will be brazenly stolen in PA - there is no election law enforcement. Allegheny County has fallen to the Dems and I think, for now, it’s game over here.
I quit the GOP 17 years ago. I quit conservatism three years ago. I'm not a historian so take my comments for what they're worth. We seem to be in a realignment where a new party emerges and the R's and D's merge, ala the Uniparty name mentioned here. I'm unclear if as a nation we're on the cusp of a new birth of freedom, or, if our destruction is assured. Keep praying!
I stopped supporting the GOP a long time ago, and only give to candidates. The GOP cares too much about being one of the popular kids at school. Trump has flaws, and I suspect he’s learned his lesson on personnel by now, and how deep the deep state is and how they do not care about the law or Constitution. He will be methodical and thorough.
Plus he does not need to keep re-election in mind. He’s the only one who has withstood the fire. De Santis or Vivek might also be able, but that’s speculation. Trump has proven it. So he’s the only one for this particular time. All candidates who want the Constitution and rule of law restored should abandoned their own candidacy and endorse Trump. Unite the team. The GOP wants to go to Prom. F the prom.
The GOP is so out of touch with its constituents it is ridiculous. It has been living off of being the only alternative to the crazy evil party for decades.
A generous view would be that it is due to spending decades in DC and being caught up in that bubble (thus, the term limits argument). A much more useful explanation is that they ONLY listen to people who give them substantial sums of money or other benefits in return for their attention and actions. Unfortunately, that is not a a theory, it is a fact.
In any case they care little for their constituents opinions (in the absence of direct recompense) and in fact are sometimes shocked by them:
I see your friend is finding out that their is no difference between the GOP and the Dem's it has been the UniParty for at least the last 30 years maybe more. Everything we see now is just theater including yesterday. Something happens to people when the get elected they run on issues like the border and how they will fight tooth and nail to fix the issue get to DC and is the last thing on their mind funny that. Trump has exposed allot of that but some one said in the past 98% of the Senate, and Congress are criminals and the other 2% haven't been bought yet.
The final section of the comment by your FBI friend is highly relevant. We always need to remember that it's not just the gullible sheep who fall prey to propaganda - it's those who produce the propaganda too. And, yes, when reality hits, they are completely blindsided and lash out in crazy and dangerous ways. This is why I fear the current situation. Even idiots like Nuland and Blinken are being dragged kicking and screaming into reality. When they get there, they may well take drastic and irreversible measures that try to jam reality into their failing ideologies.
On the topic of, see Eric Hoffer's 1951 analysis, "The True Believer". Mark's correspondent is correct, when reality intrudes, to the True Believer, the psychic result is shattering

"...the “Department of Justice” and the Zhou Regime have quietly downgraded concern about sexual crimes involving children."
I know, I know, "correlation is not causation," but -- after all, the current *Resident of the Oval Office IS "Sniffy Zhou".
Just sayin'.

Thune is a classic example.
I know that the Republican Party in my state is dead. The few that remain in office just want in on the grift at this point.

Very true comments on the gop, of having no purpose.
I don’t think the gop party see the danger they are in. Lots of denial.
> the GOP doesn't want to be fixed

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, trying to heal the West through DC and elections is time that you will never get back.
