Republicans: What's going on with your Party?

Post #1

Post by boatsnguitars »

Can Republicans explain what the *^%$ is going on in the GOP?

Let's face it, there are some real wackos in that party making a lot of headlines, and they seem to be fixated on Trans and Gay people. Is this what the Party of Lincoln has become? Trump, Boebert, Greene, Santos, Lake... I mean, I'll be here forever mentioning all the wierdness in the GOP.

Can you help me make sense of it?

I should make one correction to my last post. Democrat leaders don't issue "marching orders"; they issue sitting orders. Anyone on the Left who criticizes their complacency is branded a malcontent to make sure that "nothing will change".

The problem is that we saw what happens when a Third Party gains popularity in the USA: Trumpism.
Trumpism didn't come out of any third party. Trump threatened to start a third party and GOP leaders caved to him because they were afraid of abandonment by their constituents.

The leaders of the D-party don't have to fear the same happening to them because Democrats are eiither good little tin solldiers who follow the marching orders of their party leaders without question or are content to sit at microphones and keyboards and complain uselessly without doing anything to change their party.
I don't see it the same way.

We have two (2) choices~~~~
(1) Vote for Biden
(2) Vote for Trump who wants to do away with our Constitution, do away with term limits & in Trump’s own words, be a Dictator.
Trump was not kidding; Trump means what he says.

Biden won't even direct the USPS board to remove a postmaster general who's screwing up the mail. You think he's going to stop anything more serious?

You illustrate exactly why there should be more than two choices.
