The Future of the Republican Party

Probably more than once, and it's used by more than just the right, but otherwise yes.

Like everything else on the Right, attempting to change the perception of a word from good to bad only happens to idiots who blindly follow propaganda. This is not a new tactic from the right. In my lifetime, they've attempted to change liberal, woke, and now squad. and that's just off the top of my head. I'm certain for each, there are 100 more I can't think of or don't know of. Either way, the more the Right wants to change the meaning of a word, the more I dig in and don that word just by being me. Fuck the Right.

These people are the future of the party, apparently.

Even Trump's expression seems to be saying, "Can you believe these fucking morons?"

In the United States the Conservative & Republican Parties are the Parties of Donald Trump , the NRA & guns , & creationism.

They're just downright TOXIC.

Hopefully the Republican & Conservative Parties will destroy themselves.

Oh, that IS actually Trump? Looked so distorted and unreal I thought they had a very tall guy with them in the same attire.

In years past, I might have believed him thinking just that due to the statements he has made in the past. He knows/knew how to get idiots to follow him. Unfortunately, not sure if it's due to the office he held or if he truly has dementia, but now he seems to believe the bullshit that he talks. So, no, I no longer think he's saying anything like "Can you believe these fucking morons?", rather he's just proud to be on their tshirts.

So here we are again, “don’t call people what they call themselves, you’re being ignorant.”

You are not this stupid. If you tell me "I'm so lazy, I just want to sit here and enjoy the view" and I say "you're a lazy fuck" is that the same thing? You said you were lazy. I said you were lazy. What's the difference?

AOC calls herself a Democratic-Socialist. I called her a socialist and caught shot for it and was basically told how stupid I was for calling her a socialist when she calls herself a socialist. Now I’m catching shit for using the term the squad when in fact they call themselves that.

Did you say it in a derogatory fashion?

Are you not following the thread? Try reading the thread before interjecting in the conversation.

To be fair, you are stupid

Whether or not I followed the entire thread is irrelevant. I'm explaining to you the difference between quoting someone and using their words against them. They are two entirely different things.

You were and you are.

Not really, that's a pretty neutral term for those four. Progressives use it all the time.

Oy.

The Liberal Democratic Party in Japan is a right-wing party.

The Liberal Democrats in the UK are center to center-left.

They call themselves the same thing. They believe different things and advocate different policies.

So yeah, if you're running around saying "AOC uses a term that includes the word socialist to describe herself, therefore she supports the same policies as every other politician in the world who is associated with the word socialist," you're gonna get dragged.

Don’t want to clutter up the Trump Criminal thread but holy hell the Qtards are going 100mph so I figured I use this dedicated Q thread to post updates.

Did you even try listening to any of these?

No I never did.

No, because there are enough people in the US who will support Republicans and celebrate their wins anyway, showing them that those like yourself who complain about them needing to go down in flames still see them as a better choice.

Why not?

If moderate conservative is still too liberal for you, here is a traditional conservative perspective that is informed, rational and more than just Dems Bad.

The Dispatch is an American conservative subscription-based and advertisement-free online magazine founded by Jonah Goldberg, Stephen F. Hayes, and Toby Stock. Several of The Dispatch's staff (including Hayes) are alumni of the defunct The Weekly Standard.

…

After The Weekly Standard ceased publication in December 2018, Hayes, Goldberg, and Stock were inspired to start a media company with the goal of "producing serious, factually grounded journalism for a conservative audience". Goldberg and Hayes expressed concern over the alliance between conservative media outlets and the Republican Party, and started The Dispatch with a desire to instead focus on conservative principles, regardless of party lines. The company is based in downtown Washington, D.C. By June 2020, The Dispatch had grown to twelve staffers.

I also listen to their Advisory Opinions podcast but that is focused just on legal issues. The Dispatch is general politics, policy, social, legal, etc.

Looks like Hayes helped push the Iraq war narrative.

Okay. Not everyone is going to be 100% right all the time.

Have you sat down and thought about why you are so driven to go find a reason to dismiss folks from outside your (mis)information bubble?

I did see another Democrat I would vote for, Jared Polis. So that's two Democrats and one Independent, Jared Polis, John Tester and Tulsi Gabbard.

Because I forgot about this thread.

Yes I have thought about that. I don't trust establishment people and I don't trust the mainstream media. These people have been running things our whole lives. They want to keep up these forever wars, they want to stick with the status quo, they want to keep the American empire going. They don't want to pull back on our sphere of influence. They don't want to take a sort of isolationist approach. They don't want any significant change.
