Election 2020: Twitter and Social Media

It isn't about "cleansing the movement",   just getting a saner leader.    You populists can vie with us conservatives for the future of the GOP.     It should be an interesting debate.   Or you can self-immolate along with Trump.   It's your choice.

@Jazzhead

YOU and others like you can only be considered "conservatives" if viewed from the "Mao Mind-set".

[sneakypete]

And when it happens, they will blame Trump for hurting their business.

We can only hope so. That alone should be good for 2 or 3 pro-Trump vote percentage points in 2024.

Bud, I have always considered myself a conservative first.  And the first role and intent of a conservative should be to prevent a socialist take over.  If that meant supporting DJT, then I have met my obligation.  And beleive me, I don't really care for the guy.

Your NT bs has only exemplified yourself as a faux conservative.  A chalartain,  and up there with the Lincoln Project pukes.  Don't patronize us like this by painting some of us conservatives as populist needing pentence.  We put the country first November 3rd, unlike you.

It's his endless disdain for the Constitution that tipped me off.

I most certainly put my country first on November 3rd, sir.    Will you brush the damn chip off your shoulder?    Elections are won and lost.   There's another election in two years' time.  It's obvious that the voters chose to retain a more conservative policy direction.   They wanted to keep much of the good stuff - like the prosperity -  but be rid of the man.

You say I am unpatriotic, not putting my country first.   Show a bit of humility and admit that Trump made perhaps the biggest political blunder in history in stoking his rebels without a clue.    You say supporting DJT met your obligation.   Of course you did;  I do not question your sincerity, let alone your patriotism.   But those of us who voted straight GOP except for the top of the ticket have been proven correct - Trump's instability and recklessness was an existential problem.   The Congress,  whether you or I like it or not,  is poised to render it legally impossible for him to run for federal office again.   

The speed of Trump' demise may be a blessing.   There is a wealth of talent in the GOP that can and will advocate for Trump's melding of populism and economic growth.   Others,  perhaps, will be like the lonely and hated John Kasich and try to get the federal budget under control.  Nah . . . I just dreamed that part.

Yet from Nov 4 to now, you have tacitly supported lawlessness, fraud, and outright lies, just because those things secured your idea of putting your country first on Nov 3.  Sorry sir, that is not how it works.  It is not OK to subvert the Republic from time to time simply because it is convenient for you.  That isn't putting your country first.

For the umpteenth time, it isn't about Trump.  It is about upholding the law and the Constitution.   It is about protecting the voting power of the people.

Do you realize how contradictory, and devoid of reality that statement is?  Democrats control the WH, Senate, and the House.  That's really going to get us a lot of "good stuff" /s.

Now add the possiblity of court packing, extra states (senators), and a flood of new dem voting immigrants.  You really think the GOP has another chance in an election after that? Nope.  Everyone who sat back, held back their vote and watched 2020 slip away has to keep that on their conscience.

Is that your righteous cause?    Then why are you still genuflecting towards Trump,  who betrayed you and the movement he founded?

Knock off the genuflecting bullshit.

[christian]

Two tinhorn Saviors that saved us from Trump, will do some serious back tracking when the horrors of Biden becomes in your face reality.  Of course many will run from their handiwork, as cowardice from what they did will be their best escape from what they did.
Their facade innocence/ignorance will impress very few.

[Hoodat]

Is that your righteous cause?    Then why are you still genuflecting towards Trump,  who betrayed you and the movement he founded?

'Truth' is my righteous cause.  I don't worship Trump.  I am not a Trump loyalist.  If anything, I am a Trump apologist.  Trump was never in a position to betray me.  I already knew who he was.  His movement is not my movement.  Mine is, has, and always will be a federal government that abides by the limitations placed upon it by our Founding Fathers, and that lives within its means.

We are not of the same mindset here.  Just because you are obsessed with opposing Trump 24/7, you wrongly assume that I am obsessed with doing the opposite.  There has been plenty that Trump has done that I didn't support, and I made no secret about that at the time.  But the one thing that prompts me again and again to defend him is hearing him attacked and smeared relentlessly with lies.

If you just told the truth about him, you wouldn't get any pushback.  Want to talk about the deficit?  I won't defend his actions there.  Want to talk about tariffs?  Still not a believer in the Trump approach.  His entrepreneurial personality?  I could never work for someone like that (since I have never been a personal loyalist).  But when you make things up on the fly, and then six days later take the exact opposite side, just for the purpose of blaming Trump for all the nation's ills, well then I am going to call you out.

[Smokin Joe]

I understand the objection to the word.   I was speaking more of the GOP and the future of MAGA.    A sizeable number want to pick up their marbles.   But Trump's populist movement hasn't been discredited.    It needs new leadership.   Trump has thrown away his future.  Don't throw away yours.

Look, maybe you won't see it until the 'flash', but for those of us who haven't been in some quasi liberal la-la land, we fully understand what any leftist means when they start talking about "cleansing" a movement.

Like Stalin 'cleansed' Soviet Russia (30 million dead), or Mao 'cleansing' their little Glorious Revolution (50 million dead and counting), I have NO doubt about what these communists mean. They are just trying to say it in a way that offers "plausible deniability" if they are called on it, and lets them point and say "CONSPIRACY THEORY"--but make no bones about it, they'd line all of us up against a wall if they had one long enough.

If they can't tolerate differing opinions, what makes you think they will be the least bit kind to any opposition?

[Smokin Joe]

I'll enjoy seeing the people working there (who demanded this censorship from their employer) to get laid off.

I hope their squadron of "Independent Fack Chekkers" are first to go.

[Smokin Joe]

And when it happens, they will blame Trump for hurting their business.

They crapped in their mess kit, and now they don't like the flavor of the stew?

Tough shitsky.

That is 100% crap.

Republicans won across the spectrum other than a few isolated instances where the fraud was so great it could not be easily overcome.

Facts really don't matter to a lib now does it?

Kristalnacht is coming.

Only the Democrats would see Making America Great Again as Domestic Terrorism.

Kristalnacht was already here,  courtesy of Trump's ginned up mob.

The facts are that (until Georgia) the GOP did well in this election.    The silver lining is Trump's swift denouement should not dissuade voters to abandon Republican policy positions.   The faster the disease is eradicated,  the more opportunity there is to heal.

You spelled heel wrong.

Do you even know what Kristalnacht is?

Not one building burned, not one store looted, and minimal damage to the Capitol, and that likely from the ANTIFAs who infiltrated the group. --Oh and far less trash left behind than a "save the planet" rally.

The Capitol of the United States was physically breached with Congress in session.  I could care less that less physical damage was done to the Capitol building than to a storefront looted and burned in a BLM riot.   The latter is criminal behavior,  the former violent sedition urged on by the President.  It is completely unacceptable.

Trump's blunder is existential.   He should never be permitted to hold federal office again.  The responsibility of Trump supporters now should be to reject the man and work to save their movement's agenda.  If the two cannot be effectively separated,  then MAGA is effectively dead.
