Center right needs to be Biden Republicans

[OldLady]

Well said piece about the only real choice for normal Republicans... become Biden Republicans.


The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans.

Most Republicans don’t care that Trump locked up children, cozied up to white supremacists, tear-gassed peaceful protesters, benefited from Russian help in both of his campaigns, egregiously mishandled the pandemic, incited a violent attack on the Capitol and even faced fraud complaints from his own donors. A new Reuters-Ipsos pollfinds that 81 percent of Republicans have a favorable impression of Trump. Wait. It gets worse: 60 percent say the 2020 election was stolen from him, only 28 percent say he is even partly to blame for the Capitol insurrection, and 55 percent say that the Capitol attack “was led by violent left-wing protestors trying to make Trump look bad.”

This is a portrait of a party that can’t be saved — at least in the foreseeable future. The GOP remains a cult of personality for the worst president in U.S. history. It has become a bastion of irrationality, conspiracy mongering, racism, nativism and anti-scientific prejudices. So what should a sane, center-right voter — someone who might have voted for the GOP in the past — do under those circumstances?

Biden has turbocharged vaccinations with better management: The seven-day average of new vaccination doses has gone from 892,399on Inauguration Day to almost 3 million today. He has boosted the economic recoverywith a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill; the unemployment rate is down to 6 percent. Now he is pushing a $2 trillion plan to rebuild our dilapidated infrastructure — something that Trump only talked about doing.

Biden is governing from the “new center,” while Republicans are increasingly catering to the far right with shrill, divisive rhetoric and antidemocratic actions such as bills to restrict voting. Under those circumstances, those of us on the center-right can’t afford a third-party flirtation. We need to become Biden Republicans.

We? I didn't know you were a Republican.

Anyway, a third party constituted of the reasonable Republicans in the country might actually have a chance of breaking the duopoly, because there are a lot of non-zombie Republicans out there. They will never become Democrats; and Biden is progressive, not moderate.

I've been wishing for a real third party (or fourth or fifth) for a long time. The closer we move to an organized moderate voice willing to look at both sides of an issue, the better.

K, I hope you can continue to enjoy it.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams

I have wealth, liberty, political freedom, religious freedom, and I am expressing my views and free speech unencumbered to you.

I never ceases to amaze me how people miss the obvious when they're thrown some crumbs from the table, your wealth is an illusion built upon a currency that isn't backed by anything but debt, your *views* are heavily manipulated by political machinery, media and advertisers and even the claim to religious freedom becomes questionable in the face of systemic religious bigotry.

As evidence one need look no further than your posting history here which indicates that when the Democrat Party machinery says "JUMP!" your response is most likely to be "HOW HIGH?", Democrat Angels-Republican Devils, the predictable programmed response of one captured in the orbit of one of the two Crime Families.

As long as we keep conservatives from trying to impose the Handmaiden’s Tale state control by continuing to concentrate all the nation’s wealth into the hands of a select few people we are going to be ok.

How's that working out so far? debt slavery in place of higher wages anyone?

I wish you well.

You’re wrong. Democrats are normal people who have a policy to help more people. Republicans have moved from a group of normal people who have a policy to help fewer people to now a freak show of culture warriors, bigots, religious nuts, and the wealthy who want to minimize their giveback.

Thanks for providing further evidence that my analysis regarding programmed partisan responses was correct.

I'm sure you're a fine caring person, it's just too bad you're oblivious to how thoroughly you've been manipulated.

I used to be a Republican.

Once a lemming always a lemming. I have never and will never belong to a political party. Must be that public school education you received...

Great. And I’ve voted across party lines plenty. Participating in primaries raises my voice.

Feel free to start a party that:

• Stays out of social issues
• Stays out of my religious choices
• Protects people equally
• Believes that winner takes all isnt the ideal outcome of capitalism
• Knows that Healthcare isn’t just for the rich
• Knows Education isn’t just for the rich
• Thinks we need a logical immigration strategy to bring in both entry level workers as well as thought leaders from around the world or those who can stay after receiving an education to add to our intellectual capital

I change my vote here and there. Just like I change landscapers every four years. Keeps them honest. Your post is stupid. Healthcare is for everyone. Rich? Are you "rich"? I have had healthcare since college. I was not rich. I just found a job that provided healthcare. Home Depot does that. Education is only for the rich now and schools are run by Leftists. Whose fault is that? Immigration should be legal. I am a son of legal immigrants. Crossing over and breaking the law is not fair to those who wait to come here legally. In terms of protecting people equally, I give you Twitter and FB....your hypocrisy is amusing.

It’s says much that Twitter and FB enforcing standards is an affront to your liberty but pointing out the inequities in the justice system is just whining. What a joke your principles unearth.

There are 30 million uninsured Americans. It includes zero rich people. Your chances of going to college are correlated with your family money, not your intelligence. Surprise.

I do Not use either but they ban Trump and not Hamas? Are middle class people uninsured? So you mean the poor don’t have insurance not just the rich. Thanks for correcting yourself. And what would your solution be?

Community college isn’t pricey and these days trade schools are the better bang for the buck. You live in a world of rich and poor. What about the middle class? You forget them folks?

I’m not. Used to be. Biden is moderate for a Democrat. Not moderate to a Republican.

I've been wishing for a real third party (or fourth or fifth) for a long time.

Yeah that's just what we need, yet another political party to systematically manipulate the voters and divert attention from the actual merits and flaws of the candidates for office.

Why do you need a brand label to make up your mind who to vote for? What's wrong with evaluating candidates based solely on individual merit?

I’m a white wealthy Christian son of a military father who grew up in the south. It’s not a stretch to think I like sec football and used to be an ignorant Republican who thought I could ignore the social war nonsense of the right so I could slide by with less taxes. I am now paying for being so selfish. I’d like some votes back.

If you claim to be a Christian, then why do you support a party that endorses sexual perversion, abortion, and other sin?

Seems to me Christians have been supporting those things for long time, look at the history of that religion; priests and young boys, systemic mass murder, torture and all sorts nefarious behavior that are no-no's according to the "good book", in fact i'm pretty certain that if Jesus were around today he'd want nothing to do with Christianity.

[Correll]

Err, you people have been attacking us, and everything we believe in, long before Trump hit the scene.

WE know that. Trump stepped forward to speak out for US, so he became the focus of your attacks, but, we are well aware that you guys were hating US, long ago.

You are the one that is pitifully clueless AND willfully ignorant

You are brain washed. No one cares how you live your life. ....

Your disagreement is irrelevant to the discussion. The post you responded to, the point is that Mac is attacking us Trump supporters, for thinking that this is "about Trump".

Do you admit that we, the people you are attacking, have held these beliefs long before Trump was on the scene and that you attacked us for them long before Trump was on the scene AND that WE KNEW YOU WERE ATTACKING US?


Cause THAT is the point. (in this small discussion)

I think you’ve been afraid your whole life. I think you want to feel special. I think you want a boogeyman to blame your current station in life on. I think all those make you a perfect candidate to be manipulated into voting against your self interests. You vote for policy that continues to concentrate wealth, restrict rights, and picks winners and losers in a different way than democrats - and you aren’t the winner.

Nope. But the point is, my "whole life" extends WAY before Trump was relevant.

You are agreeing with me.

I’m saying he capitalized on the fears of a group of misled Americans.

You are agreeing with me, in this discussion, but you can't bring yourself to admit it. YOu have to keep attacking me personally in every post.


Can you see how that reflexive hostility, validates my "fears"?


Ironically, if you have just off handedly agreed with me on this minor point, you would have actually strongly displayed a lack of hostility that would have greatly undermined my characterization of the larger picture of your side's threat to US.


BUT, you couldn't do that. Because, like I said, you people have been deeply hostile and attacking us, since long before Trump was relevant.


Hence, we Trump supporters know that "this is not about Trump, and never was".


SO Mac1958, is just wrong and being an ass about it.

OIC, so you wouldn't have something like a Protestant "Born Again" Commander in Chief ordering the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi's.... only the fake Christian Catholics would do something like that.

Apparently the "thou shalt not kill" commandment was completely optional.

You are kidding right? The leader of your party is a 3 time divorcee who commits adultly gluttony, sexual perversion, and probably all the sins except out right murder. The Republican Party practice no higher level of morality than democrats they just point it out more. Like the Pharisees of old.

Trump's personal failings at marriage, is a mar against his character.


BUT, he at least does not hold adultery forth as a policy to be supported and celebrated by his Party and/or society at large.

Are you starting to understand how thoroughly the two major Crime Families manipulate the minds of their respective lemming slices, or do I need to draw you a diagram and hire a Sherpa Guide?

You don't realize it but to an objective observer the partisan induced cognitive dissonance you've demonstrated in this thread is every bit as strong as that of the poster you're responding to.

It is about Trump and how he makes you feel. Yes, you can’t divorce that from how you felt before but he has become your great white hope and you have deified him.

Well said piece about the only real choice for normal Republicans... become Biden Republicans.


The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans.

Most Republicans don’t care that Trump locked up children, cozied up to white supremacists, tear-gassed peaceful protesters, benefited from Russian help in both of his campaigns, egregiously mishandled the pandemic, incited a violent attack on the Capitol and even faced fraud complaints from his own donors. A new Reuters-Ipsos pollfinds that 81 percent of Republicans have a favorable impression of Trump. Wait. It gets worse: 60 percent say the 2020 election was stolen from him, only 28 percent say he is even partly to blame for the Capitol insurrection, and 55 percent say that the Capitol attack “was led by violent left-wing protestors trying to make Trump look bad.”

This is a portrait of a party that can’t be saved — at least in the foreseeable future. The GOP remains a cult of personality for the worst president in U.S. history. It has become a bastion of irrationality, conspiracy mongering, racism, nativism and anti-scientific prejudices. So what should a sane, center-right voter — someone who might have voted for the GOP in the past — do under those circumstances?

Biden has turbocharged vaccinations with better management: The seven-day average of new vaccination doses has gone from 892,399on Inauguration Day to almost 3 million today. He has boosted the economic recoverywith a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill; the unemployment rate is down to 6 percent. Now he is pushing a $2 trillion plan to rebuild our dilapidated infrastructure — something that Trump only talked about doing.

Biden is governing from the “new center,” while Republicans are increasingly catering to the far right with shrill, divisive rhetoric and antidemocratic actions such as bills to restrict voting. Under those circumstances, those of us on the center-right can’t afford a third-party flirtation. We need to become Biden Republicans.

Yea...we need to support mass inflation, paying people to stay home when there are millions of job openings, we need to support mass illegal immigration, war in the Middle East, shutting down pipelines, and creating gas lines.

We need to get behind Biden’s friendly and open trade with China policy so more manufacturing jobs can go overseas. We need to support males competing in female sports, because transphobia bad. We need to support indefinite lockdowns, mask mandates, and forced experimental vaccines. We need to support BLM burning businesses down, attacking white people, and we need to support defunding police and skyrocketing crime rates.

We all just need to get behind with Biden to help destroy America.

The state has no business in whether you commit adultry or not. Your pastor does. Your president does not. You don’t get that distinction and want your president to push your morality on everyone. You’re in the wrong country for that Bub.

It has become a bastion of irrationality, conspiracy mongering, racism, nativism and anti-scientific prejudices. So what should a sane, center-right voter — someone who might have voted for the GOP in the past — do under those circumstances?

Biden has turbocharged vaccinations with better management: The seven-day average of new vaccination doses has gone from 892,399on Inauguration Day to almost 3 million today. He has boosted the economic recoverywith a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill; the unemployment rate is down to 6 percent. Now he is pushing a $2 trillion plan to rebuild our dilapidated infrastructure — something that Trump only talked about doing.

Biden is governing from the “new center,” while Republicans are increasingly catering to the far right with shrill, divisive rhetoric and antidemocratic actions such as bills to restrict voting. Under those circumstances, those of us on the center-right can’t afford a third-party flirtation. We need to become Biden Republicans.

K, I hope you can continue to enjoy it.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams

I have wealth, liberty, political freedom, religious freedom, and I am expressing my views and free speech unencumbered to you.

I never ceases to amaze me how people miss the obvious when they're thrown some crumbs from the table, your wealth is an illusion built upon a currency that isn't backed by anything but debt, your *views* are heavily manipulated by political machinery, media and advertisers and even the claim to religious freedom becomes questionable in the face of systemic religious bigotry.

As evidence one need look no further than your posting history here which indicates that when the Democrat Party machinery says "JUMP!" your response is most likely to be "HOW HIGH?", Democrat Angels-Republican Devils, the predictable programmed response of one captured in the orbit of one of the two Crime Families.

As long as we keep conservatives from trying to impose the Handmaiden’s Tale state control by continuing to concentrate all the nation’s wealth into the hands of a select few people we are going to be ok.

How's that working out so far? debt slavery in place of higher wages anyone?

I wish you well.

You’re wrong. Democrats are normal people who have a policy to help more people. Republicans have moved from a group of normal people who have a policy to help fewer people to now a freak show of culture warriors, bigots, religious nuts, and the wealthy who want to minimize their giveback.

Thanks for providing further evidence that my analysis regarding programmed partisan responses was correct.

I'm sure you're a fine caring person, it's just too bad you're oblivious to how thoroughly you've been manipulated.

I used to be a Republican.

Liar.

I’m a white wealthy Christian son of a military father who grew up in the south. It’s not a stretch to think I like sec football and used to be an ignorant Republican who thought I could ignore the social war nonsense of the right so I could slide by with less taxes. I am now paying for being so selfish. I’d like some votes back.

If you claim to be a Christian, then why do you support a party that endorses sexual perversion, abortion, and other sin?

Seems to me Christians have been supporting those things for long time, look at the history of that religion; priests and young boys, systemic mass murder, torture and all sorts nefarious behavior that are no-no's according to the "good book", in fact i'm pretty certain that if Jesus were around today he'd want nothing to do with Christianity.

And in case you haven't noticed, there's a distinct difference between Roman Catholicism and true Christian faith. Real Born Again disciples would never commit atrocities like that.

OIC, so you wouldn't have something like a Protestant "Born Again" Commander in Chief ordering the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi's.... only the fake Christian Catholics would do something like that.

Apparently the "thou shalt not kill" commandment was completely optional.

The proper translation is "You shall not murder". Not the same.
