    It IS Trump's party in the fact that economic nationalism ( America first) and secure borders
    are a commonality.
    But warpigs like Liz Cheney and david Frum, and George Will are all yours

    Conservatism is not redeemable.

    "Conservatism stands athwart history, yelling STOP!" was what William F. Buckley, the Godfather of the Conservative movement, wrote less than 6 months after Brown v. Board of Education.

    And then you had his protege, Lee Atwater, say this shit in 1981:



    How can anyone conclude Conservatism isn't racist, bigoted fascism?
    Agreed.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

Trump is still very involved w/ party leadership and plays a significant role in determining the candidates we'll see for the House and Senate. "The Big Lie" has become the main qualifier for any prospective candidate, and even for incumbents to keep their positions.

    And we're seeing quite a few reasonable Republicans decide it's no longer for them. These aren't "moderates" or "Rinos" - many are real conservatives, who don't want any part of conspiracies and lies, and just want to get back to good governance and conservative principles. They're being replaced by people on the fringes (trying to be polite here). These are not people who are interested in the country succeeding as it is currently structured.

    And we're headed toward the equivalent of fight club in Congress, every day. Grandstanding and trying to get headlines instead of working for the people.

    When Liz Cheney can't fist bump the President of the United States without talk radio and twitter erupting in fury, we're in trouble. The GOP needs to find itself again.
    Nothing dumber than a lying, leftist political hack giving advice to Conservatives. Of course, being a low IQ moron, you're too stupid to comprehend how stupid you look.

    So the massive riots and attacks on republican candidates is all about handling criticism and peace? Be less of a dishonest hack.

    Here's some of those peace loving lefties now:

    Another bald faced lie promoted by the Fascistic Democratic Party of the Jackass.

    I would love to see how anyone's chances to vote have been "limited." Everyone knows the rules. Everyone with a brain plays by them, except of course low IQ leftists who can't read, write or get a photo ID.

    2. The 100,000-300,000 Conservatives who will die of COVID between now and November 2022; that will be enough to make the difference in several races next year, including FL's pivotal Governor and Senate races.

    3. The GOP got shellacked during the recall in the CA seats it narrowly won last year with Trump on the ticket, so most of those 2020 seats the GOP won from Democrats, particularly in CA, are going to go back to the Democrats in the next election.

    4. Redistricting may net the GOP a handful of seats, but that cuts both ways, with OR cementing the D's 5-1 Congressional majority (as an example) and PA and NY having to draw new districts to account for the loss of seats via the census. That will probably squeeze the GOP out of 1 seat in PA and 1 seat in NY.

    5. Do not underestimate the youth vote and turnout, particularly after the GOP made them political pawns this year and last with COVID.

    6. A lot can happen between now and November 2022, but a lot has to break the GOP's way in order to seize any momentum from Biden and the Democrats.

    7. If SCOTUS overturns Roe, the GOP is going to be decimated next year by women voters.

    How so? Be specific with your answer. Or, is this just another of your "because I say so" bullshit.

    Totally irrelevant, in fact, the GOP view, your view, on anything in the Rio Grande valley originates with Trump, if he said tomorrow that the situation was well under control you would be here defending what he said

    They are not, it may seem that way since most of your base doesn't vote if they have to leave the couch
