Ok diaper boy.

I wish you people would stop using that as an insult. I am in a Nursing Home and I wear a Diaper.

The rank & file became convinced that talk radio rhetoric, MAGA "news" sources and from-Mom's-basement conspiracy websites were "The Truth", simply because they agreed with what was said.

Then they allowed those voices to create an entirely separate, self-contained informational ecosystem that made its own reality as it went. And they went right along with it, hook, line and sinker.

Then they fell for the most obvious con man in the history of the country simply because he was a flamboyant, shameless celebrity who was willing to pretend he likes them, and attacked those they hate.

Now they're in danger in handing the keys to the Left, and if they do, they'll play the victim, as usual.

Gee, you'd think that they'd wise up to the fact that the ONLY reason Trump is running is because of the fact that he desperately has to win to stay OUT of Federal prison.

But then again if he does lose he can always count on the MAGA wing of SCOTUS to do his bidding. It's not only the average Joe & Jill who are full on MAGA. It's the top echelon of the Federal court sytem along with our legistlative branches in Washinton & numerous state capitals who are doing Trump's dirty work along with outfits like the HF.

There's always hope, but it don't look good for Democracy here. If it ends our children can read about in in the history books, if they don't ban them.

Trump's GOP shows its extremism could be a problem in November​

If former President Trump and his fellow Republicans lose in November, weeks like this might be to blame.
Why it matters: Trump is beloved by the Republican Party's MAGA base. But the far-right stamp he's put on the GOP is bursting into view in ways that are giving even some Republicans pause — and could complicate their push for the swing voters they'll need in November.

• By week's end, Trump's GOP was tied to calling frozen embryos children, appeals to kill democracy, and giving Vladimir Putin a pass on targeting his enemies.
• It's all giving Democrats another chance to cast MAGA Republicans as extremists bent on destroying rights and traditions that most Americans support.

The movement to the far right by the former GOP, now POT, is well documented and well understood. As is the cost the party has paid as MAGAist candidates have been largely rejected for their allegiance to the extremism of trumpery. It's a big part of the reason what was supposed to be the congressional Red Wave in the last election cycle completely fizzled.

Far more difficult to explain than their radicalization, which actually began in the 80's, is their choice of a current leader. He does not possess conservative bona fides. Or any coherent political philosophy for that matter. Yet he has galvanized support like no other figure in US history around his boorish personality.

As a consequence, the party has morphed in to one working on a national ban on abortions, virtually unrestricted gun ownership of any kind of gun, is in denial of the scientifically proven affect of burning fossil fuels which releases billions of tons of CO2 in to the atmosphere, support for voter suppression laws, turning back the clock on gay rights, centralized power in the hands of the executive, the right of the minority to rule, etc.

It didn't use to be this way. Repubs from Eisenhower to McCain were reasonable men who sought compromise rather than confrontation. Their impulse when addressing a national problem was, "how can we fix this?" "We" meaning both Repubs and Dems. The first impulse of MAGAists is to ask, "how can we blame this on Dems and then obstruct anything they want to do to address the problem."

MAGA's are dumbass racists who got no business being anywhere near a public office.

After what the U.S. went through during Covid with Biden Fauci shutting schools, killing nursing home patients, threatening churches and places of worship with raids and arrests and forcing Americans to take dangerous jabs, the left accuses Trump of "extremism". The question is what ever happened to honesty in the Mainstream Media?

No compromise over human rights. If a woman cannot control her own body, then there are no other rights.

Actually, if a baby woman does not have the right to live, there are no other rights.

Trump never had to run in the first place. Progressives are as corrupted and owned from outside forces as can be. And if he is just part of the system, then the game was over many years ago.

 

[whitehall]

When about 90% of the media willingly becomes the propaganda arm of the democrat party and is willing to lie to protect a democrat administration, it's easy to get away with accusing a political opponent of extremism or any other charge.

Yet it is racist Mexicrats who say blacks are too stupid to get id’s, it is Mexicrats who employ DEi and CRT directives, affirmative action initiatives, special welfare for dark people only…It is Mexicrats who celebrate ANYTIME ANYTHING becomes less white.
You woke white guilt purple hairs are the racists and everyone sane knows it.

He was running before you people tried to defeat him by persecuting him. Something Putin would've done.

But then again if he does lose he can always count on the MAGA wing of SCOTUS to do his bidding. It's not only the average Joe & Jill who are full on MAGA. It's the top echelon of the Federal court sytem along with our legistlative branches in Washinton & numerous state capitals who are doing Trump's dirty work along with outfits like the HF.

Then the Democrats will ruin SCOTUS by doubling the number of Judges in it and loading it with Democrats.

There's always hope, but it don't look good for Democracy here. If it ends our children can read about in in the history books, if they don't ban them.

Democracy is defeated if it allows your tactic of persecuting your opponents to help you guys win.

That is a Prejudicial statement. I am MAGA and I am now Racist.

You lost me when you said "Scientifically proven climate change" that no one ha# ever shown proof of. None of their past predictions have ever happen.

 

[konradv]

Okay, the Biden/Kamala/Obama campaign. Zuckerburg sent a letter to congress as a big sorry. Looks like Zuckerburg sees a civil rights criminal fcc congressional investigaton coming

You’re still a liar!

Trump ran to promote his brand. He ran for reelection so he could continue to line his pockets & rob the Country blind. This time he's running to stay out of courtrooms & prison where he deserves to spend the rest of his rotten to the core existence.

Trump makes Nixon look like a choir boy.

The media on the right is only radical or 'far right' if compared to an off-the-far-left-cliff of the Democrats who have gone full radical left Marxist. Marxists always demonize anyone who disagrees with Marxist dogma and their tearing down of the American society.
