DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Honest question about the GOP

Rather that than money continuously funded for wars in the Middle East by republicans and their military industrial complex.

Yea, money that will go right back into our economy is a stupid decision over money we will never get back in the Middle East.

Your comments in the other thread about debating are spot on, seeing as you’re proving right now that all you plan on making nasty comments all on your own.

You’re starting to remind me of BpG. The guy who claimed to be all about civility...then trashing comments made by other posters and insulting them while claiming there’s no more civility.

I gave you a decent response and you came back with this nonsense. Ok.

Well, which one is willing to write you the biggest check?

Are you eligible for black reparations? gay reparations? native American reparations? do you have student loans you'd rather not pay back? do you have credit card debt you'd rather not pay back? Do you work for minimum wage and would like a big raise?

Your vote is for sale, negotiate the best deal for yourself.

You know what, you are right.. perhaps part of the difference is that I DO NOT LIKE that I have started to resort to typical MB protocol... It is not who I have ever been and it's getting to me... I have railed against it for quite a long time, and yet, here I am, becoming that which I have despised.... I think I have just reached my tipping point with the BS.. So since I see little chance that the MB is going to change in any positive meaningful way, I guess I will...

Now that you've joined the noise rather than actual discussion, does that mean you'll quit preaching to me about it?

Oh please. I heard the same thing from the Republicans when Odummy was in office. Then I heard Hillary ask Trump if he would accept the outcome if he lost the election. Her and Al Gore didn't take their own advice.

This is not an attack or trolling.

Punk ass middle school name calling is all they really have, so you have to let them have that. It's really all they can mentally manage.

This is not an attack or trolling. I'd just seriously like to hear what everyone thinks (trumpians included) the future of the GOP will look like after Trump is gone. Some alt-right/far-right think there will be a Trump dynasty of the Presidency being handed down to Ivanka then Jr. Some conservatives think the party will return to the old norms. Some think the party will collapse or implode in the aftermath.

Personally I think there will be a long rule by the left that will be countered by a return to true center right conservatism without the religious and racist far right. I look for the far right and evangelicals to form two new subgroup republican parties like the libertarians. I don't think they will play a role in party leadership after Trump.

So tell me how you see it playing out, or what you fear or hope for in the next version of the GOP.

Your comment about Trumpians included tells me it isn't a honest question.



I'll pass.

There would be no viable Republican party without the religious and far right followers and supporters. Their numbers would be so small they would hold zero power. Just like the Democrats wouldn't have any power if they didn't have the far left in their numbers.

As such both parties must cater to that part of their base to maintain power. So nothing will really ever change. The one thing that confuses me is how they can get the Christian right to uphold mass incarceration of children at the border.

That's certainly not a WWJD moment for them.

Good call because it's such and obvious slight, so it must be a trap...

I added 'trumpians included' because even though I detest y'all, I still consider you people and wanted to hear what you had to say. If you don't like that, simply don't respond, no need to feel like a victim. And it's no sweat off my berries either way.

at least 15 of them went out of their way in casual chit-chat to mention they wouldn't vote for him in 2020.

Just something I thought I would share.

Spent the better part of yesterday with my die hard Trumpian family members, about 50 of them were at a gathering to celebrate my Aunt and Uncle's 60th anniversary. Although we didn't dwell on politics, me being the black sheep progressive liberal that they all know despises Trump, at least 15 of them went out of their way in casual chit-chat to mention they wouldn't vote for him in 2020. And only 2 of them told me how great they thought he has been.

Again, we steered clear of politics most of the day, but I found it telling anyway.
