Has the GOP been infiltrated by the left?

[YoursTruly]

I'm thinking the GOP has been infiltrated by the left. Maybe it started in 1980 with Reagan. Maybe a little before that. IDK. But regardless, it's my opinion that somewhere in the not so distant past, the left began funding and infiltrating the GOP with dem-lites. (Liberal Republicans, RINO's etc etc)
They'll take someone who's easily bought and paid for (in it for the money). Fund them, promote them and get them elected. And all they have to do is play a part. People like all of my states congressmen and senators. Republicans who will vote for debt ceiling increases, funding for places like Ukraine. Gender studies in Pakistan etc etc etc
Take Trump for example (I seen you rolling your eyes).... Where else in our history of this country, would republicans support ANY republican who spent as much as he did. Support as much unconstitutional BS as he has and invoke as much liberty smashing legislation as he has?
Would any one have supported Trump if he said he was going ban bump stocks and spend $8 trillion in just 4 years? Or if he said he would sign a bill that forces landlords to not force their tenants to pay rent?
Not in a million years, all the way up to 2020, would we support someone like that. 2024 for some of you.

So I'm thinking the left have secretly infiltrated not only our elections, but infiltrated who's allowed to run.
Oh sure they don't control everyone. They couldn't. They'll let people like Chip Roy, Rand Paul & Mike Lee get elected. But for the most part, they gotta fund their own campaigns.
What GOP politician has been in congress the longest? Certainly not McCarthy. So how did he get into a position to become speaker? His voting record sucks to high heaven. He's left of center on almost all issues. He's caved to Biden. He caved to Pelosi. So did Trump. Trump constantly caved to Pelosi and the establishment.
The left did to the GOP what the big government republicans did to the 07 tea party. And it's a safe bet that the left had already infiltrated the GOP by 2007. Probably by 1980.

You gotta admit that every single time we get a fiscal conservative POTUS candidate, he gets thrown under the bus by his own party.

You would be wrong. It's been infiltrated by an extreme right wing cult that worships a single man under the guise of defending the Constitution and putting America first.

Yes, a slightly more pressing problem.

Ever hear of the term "RINO?" "Republican In Name Only." The Bush boys were Globalists and very friendly with the Demwit Party. The GOP was infiltrated a long time ago.

No it's not. The right would've never, at least not until Reagan, support such a huge expansion of spending, debt ceiling increases, assaulting our 2A, forcing landlords to go without rent payments or allowing big pharma to go unpunished for a bad vaccine.

This kind of crap didn't start until Reagan, a life long democrat (just like Trump).

Today's GOP is Demwit Light. Many are for "red flag laws." Many support printing trillions of paper dollars to spend on pet projects. Many are "in bed" with the LGBTQ+Pedo activists. None of them are doing anything significant to rein in the various, over-sized bureaucracies. All seem be for FOR giant, top-heavy government.

Defending the constitution?
The constitution says "shall not infringe." Trump infringed. The left should've praised Trump for that.
The constitution states that the government needs a warrant to spying on Americans. W, Obama and Trump reauthorized FISA 702 that give the government the authority to do just that, only without a warrant.
And don't get me started on the Patriot act that Trump reauthorized.

"The guise of?" Yeah, that's about right.

But it's retarded to think the right has moved even further right.

They`re called RINO`s.

Now they are. But they've taken RINO out of context for a decade or so now. The correct acronym should be CINO. Conservative in Name only. But there's just too many republicans who simply don't understand fiscal and constitutional conservatism. RINO has been dumbed down.
By definition, according to his actual record, Trump is a die hard RINO.

Brownshirts are the only cult.....

Doc7505 , I'm not sure what you're laughing at. Maybe you're not old enough to remember the conservatives calling Reagan a RINO. Back then, most republicans were fiscal and constitutional conservatives. Then Reagan comes along and increases the debt ceiling 17 times. Was the first president to spend more than $1 trillion. Gave us one tax cut and 4 tax increases.
They could've used CINO back then, But RINO meant the same thing. And folks could picture a rhino as an elephant without a trunk. The visuals were better.
Now a days, if you're a Republican your automatically labeled a conservative. Even if there's nothing conservative about you. (IE Trump, McCarthy, McConnell etc etc etc)

 

[my2¢]

Both the GOP and Democrats are far more Left as compared to years ago. I chalk it up to the idealism of youth mellowing with age but not entirely dissipating.

They work together and have become a ruling class. They no longer represent no one but special interests. The citizen is at the bottom of list. Even lower is the respect for basic God given rights and the rule of law.

Another MAGAt accusation that is really a con-fession.

It's not
Pay fucking attention.

Who is MAGA arresting for political opinions? Who is MAGA censoring or intimidating? How many dawn raids killing a disabled veteran has MAGA done? Has MAGA bought 40 caliber machine guns like the IRS?

 

[kyzr]

Dems did not infiltrate the GOP but occasionally GOP candidates attract disillusioned democrats.

Look at Harry Truman, and then look at Obama and Biden. The moderate democrats like Manchin and Sinema are unwelcome in cities.

2024 may be another landslide for the GOP. Hispanics, soccer moms, union workers (UAW & construction trades), security moms, church goers, concerned parents, city dwellers who want Law &B Order, etc. are trending conservative/GOP.

Trump is up by 8-points over Biden ....yeah, polls are bullshit.

All those crazy right wingnuts who believe in borders, police, personal security, not showing six year olds gay porn and God. They're just EVERYWHERE! They need to be stopped! Fortunately you believe in a rational party that turned our southern border over to Mexican Cartels and are rational prosecuting crime victims rather than criminals. Because you're against extremism.

This is all lost on you, isn't it? Be honest
