How are Republicans okay with massive tariffs, seizing ownership of private companies, and sending armed troops into American cities? These are things that they have spoken out against for more than 90 years. (Since Hoover). Did you have ANY principles that weren't for sale?
Nope, they didn't.
Cracker Barrel, they are firm on Cracker Barrel. 🤓🥸
No - that and all the crimes they have committed and are secretly documented keep them toeing the line
The ones who did aren’t Republicans anymore.
Hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. They will say anything -- including lies -- to get what they want. They have no core beliefs or principles other than power for power's sake.
"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
It’s always been about keeping power to enrich themselves. That’s how you go from abolishing slavery to having the Smithsonian and government agencies remove all references to it.
Their entire existence is based on fox propaganda. They possess only reptilian brains and are unable to process information.
"Principles" and "Republicans" can no longer live together in the same sentence unless that sentence contains the word "No", is sarcasm or satire. They used to pretend, but Reagan gave the game away in 1980, kicking off his campaign with a speech about state's rights in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
It's all about "owning the libs," that's all they care about ... And avoiding Madame Guillotine...
What you have to remember is they didn't sell out anything. They are just spineless, morally bankrupt worms.
They did not and never have.
The threat (often ginned up) of these things has been a convenient cudgel to pummel Democrats with, but once MAGA got the whip hand, the threat gave way to Loot City! Moral of the story: it ain’t the principle, it’s the power.
Nope. Republicans have been on a 90 year projection screed. They feared someone else doing to them what they had always planned to do to others.
No. And, we now accept bitcoin and other forms of anonymous cryptocurrency.
2027-2028-ish, if not before then, they’ll realize they sold them for a handful of magic beans. Not normally into schadenfreude, but couldn’t be happening to a more deserving bunch. Direct karma.
I never thought I’d root for a military coup and surprise alien nuclear-powered comet, but here we are.
My uncle in Florida considers himself to be a principled conservative, the problem is the only principle he believes in is "I don't like Mexicans.'
They haven't realized that all of these things are, can or will happen directly to them. When the negative impact has a direct financial/emotional effect on them, they will whine & cry. These are humans who do not understand why firemen run towards a fire instead of away until their homes r aflame.
In a word…no
gg.op = gaggle of one-bit whores I expect them to do nothing to save our country We can prosecute all law breakers after regain power This time we show no leniency
Or gaggle of one-bit prostitutes if one wants to have a proper acronym
Nope. None at all.
...and what always gets me is how quickly virtually every one of those fuckers abandoned everything they supposedly stood for and bent over for trump. He is the result of long-term, systemic corruption, not the cause. He did not change the direction of the gop - he just stomped on the gas pedal.
If only there was an opposing party who had the balls to speak out, daily, against the atrocities of the regime. If only. . .
Absolutely none.
Excluding multi-millionaires and billionaires, the allure of trump is his celebrity, the voters hours watching "reality" tv and low-value programming. He speaks to all of their biases, and makes them feel like they're "billionaire-adjacent" because he speaks their language. GOP wants their votes.
Republicans since 1970 have been the party of power. They don't care about anything other than controlling people's lives. Evil to the core.
Thought that was settled long ago.
I’ve started considering how to stop the advancing internal army of his followers when they invade our cities. What if, when he makes the plan to invade chicago, everyone in town left in the night just before all his forces arrive, just to find an empty husk. Or do we form a ring around town? How?!
To paraphrase Casablanca, there are some sections of Chicago I'd advise against invading.
People can't do that. Won't do that. The military isn't made up of his followers, it's young men and women who signed up to serve their country and are now in a position of having to follow illegal and unconstitutional orders from an authoritarian leader. They will be our allies eventually.
We can not just cower in our homes until our homes become our cages
Republicans ~are~ capitalism. E V E R Y T H I N G is for sale, yes.
Other than tax cuts for the richest Americans and deregulating corporations they don't seem to have any.
