Should Repubs get a pass on introspection because trump won?

[Billiejeens]

Introspection is for the historians. Usually it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what caused the death of an empire. Not in our case though.

It goes back to Barack Huessein and his desire to remake The US into something that the country doesn't want.

And then...
Why did 1 in 8 Biden supporters buy into this - to the point where they would not vote for Harris?

Propaganda works

Did they buy into it? Who knows but it was enough to make then complacent about Trump winning

It's hard to convince a guy that the economy is doing just super great when he had to take a second job just to keep his family where it was 5 years ago.

Interesting that they would prefer to have Trump win than bite the bullet a vote for Harris.

 

[Billiejeens]

I think the winners need to realize why and how they won and losers need to realize why they lost.

I do wonder why Trump won, after the chaos, the insulting, how could people vote for him? It occurred to me that people had a choice and looking over the last four years, people didn’t feel better off than four years ago and they felt Trump was a better choice for America than any other alternative. Why is that? I don’t know.

Because it is obviously and objectively true.

Which isn't happening for the VAST majority of voters who worry about it

That's propaganda

The share of the workforce holding two jobs is now back up to what it was ...in 2019!

And that number is 8 million people

8 million out of how many voters? 140 million??

It is.

Republicans should definitely take a moment of introspection to figure out how to get even more of the Democrats to betray their party to join MAGA. The OP is on to something.

Well, if the Democrats put up another shit candidate, it should be fairly easy.
The list of 2024 Republicans is pretty strong.

Keep running with that standard Marxist "mystification" trope.

 

[Billiejeens]

Dems will look at this election, and come up with a better Democrat, Biden 2028!

He will be tanned, rested and ready.

Arlette, I see you disagree with what I posted, but I see no attempts to answer the questions. Care to try?

No. I'm at work

Trump adds to that list with some of his Cabinet picks. Many are younger and getting on the national stage. Something Biden didn't do, he simply recycled Obama flunkies, he didn't elevate anyone from the House or Senate except Harris. We see how that worked out.

 

[Billiejeens]

Of course they do, they won.

How much introspection has any party done after they won? The simple reality is that they have been vindicated.

The only saving grace here is that Trump will not be running again and a party with a base that has rejected absolutely everything they represent, who the hell are they going to get behind after Trump.

No one can replace him because they follow him and not an idea.

Fucks like you will never get it.

 

[Billiejeens]

Bizarre as in wanting secure borders? Wanting the federal government to be more efficient? Not wanting pride/trans crap to go overboard?

To not be lied to about our president being "just fine" then on a dime told he shouldn't run anymore because of his mental health? To not be scolded into lowering my standard of living due to AGW when the people sreaming keep theirs?

I'll take Trump's bombast and exaggeration over the far more damaging policy lies of the left any day.

No thread woud be complete without Mac's idiotic pysho babble.

And it's not just the people with multiple jobs. You can't have prices on the basics of life jump as high and as fast as they did without everyone noticing. The highly paid democrat talking heads on TV don't notice because they get paid a LOT of money, so they look at the numbers, honk their horns and clap their flippers in unison at how awesome things are. There is a vanishingly small number of voters who do not feel a pinch at the higher prices that have yet to come down. That's the reality most people face.

When you're off then. We'll wait.

 

[rampart]

And yet he defeated the "best" the democrats could put up against him. Let that actually sink in for a moment. You want to say he was such a terrible candidate, yet he twice beat the "best" the democrats had to offer. You can't shake that.

there is no doubt that this is exactly the leader you deserve.

Absolutely

But nominating trump for a third time and then electing him after what we know from the last 8 years of vitriol, incompetence, and lies, especially after Jan. 6, is inexcusable. It's on Repubs, not Dems. He should not have gotten within a million miles of being on a presidential ballot.

True.

But blind partisan ideologues have no need for introspection.
