All you need to do is watch what is going on around the country.
-People, even those on the left (aside from the real crazies) are disappointed in the job Biden and the dems are doing. Many of your "suburban democrats" are starting to be effected by the shit policies they're pushing, and they don't like it. -Black and Latino voters seem to be switching sides in large numbers after getting a taste of success in 2016-2020 only to have it ripped away and having welfare programs pushed back on them in their communities. Many will tell you they made the most money they have ever made, experienced the most success they've ever had, and experienced an improvement in their quality of living under Trump. Biden has pretty much eraced a large chunk of that. -Many around the country are seeing Biden try to flex the power of the Federal Government in regards to Texas trying to handle their border crisis. It's not a good look. -The shipping of illegals to sanctuary cities has been eye opening for many. Many who supported illegals coming here are having second thoughts now that their communities are being effected. Two weeks ago when the cold front came through and New York City closed some of its schools to house illegals from the cold, residents got big mad because their children's education is being affected. -Where there they want to admit it or not, a large percentage of white liberals do not like DEI. This is all coming to a head, and I feel like it is going to end in a rise in conservatism. Many see the times we're in as the death of America....it's not. America is an idea, ideas don't die. Are times right now shitty? Sure. But it's a cycle. We've have both good and bad times in this country, and I have faith that there is still a majority of good folks out there. So go enjoy your weekend. Drink some beers. Mayne some whiskey is you're feeling groggy. Grill something. Sound tome with friends and family. Just remember, this is cyclical and things will get better.  |

Like him or hate him that arrogant SOB made life better. People will bitch and moan because he wasn’t perfect, and he wasn’t but he was decent and actually gave a single fuck about his country and countrymen. More than could be said about many of the previous presidents in the last 30 years.

I was just thinking about this yesterday. When the Clintons were in office, I thought "Things cant get much worse." When Obama was in office, I thought, "liberty is on the verge of colllapse." With Biden in office, I think, "America can never recover from this."
After the first two debacles, there was a resurgence of conservatism . . . granted . .. in either greater or lesser amounts. Still, there was always major pushback against the Democrats. Now, has American culture declined a little bit more each time the Democrats are in charge? It seems so, especially as they've gained greater and greater control of legacy and social media. Government (and media) become more immoral and unethical whenever the left is in control, and it deosn't seem to every fully recover. Still, we're not yet to the state where all freedom and individuality will be outlawed. We may be closer than we were, but odds are that the fall of America (as many of us knew it) is still a while off |

We shall see.
What IS hopeful is how many far left nations are throwing off the yoke of socialism and embracing so-called "far right" governments/leaders. If there is hope for THOSE train wrecks, then the US may certainly be on the cusp of a Conservative takeover. But, again, we shall see. |

That's when the republicans trot out abortion as a political issue and fuck us.
If they don't, then the democrats will. Take abortion out of the debate and the chances are way better for conservatives. |

Conservatives get a little momentum from all the shitty policies and overreach from the left, start to smell a potential victory, then get all morally superior and make abortion a central theme, pissing off suburban women who forget about their fear and vote for their freedom. Conservatives do best when pandering fear.

Running out for some groceries, my local Meijer in their ad has Russet potatoes 6.79 for an 8lb bag. Ridiculous. Obviously everything is up in price from 3 years ago.
The American hating control hungry leftists printed and spent 8 trillion dollars and now everything is twice what it was. Republicans are far from perfect, but until something better comes along (or I get off my ass and run) they get my vote 95% of the time. |

I agree with OP.
The up coming Presidential election looks a lot like the '76. It is a choice between two people whom the vast majority of the voting public dislike. Neither of them are capable of truly leading the country or respected on the global stage. After Reagan lost to Ford at the 76 Republican primary, he and a handful of other conservatives rebuilt the party. They crushed Carter in '80, united the country, righted the economy, rebuilt the military, all of which ultimately lead to the downfall of the Soviet Union. This time is reminiscent of Nixon. In the Republican party we are witnessing the death throws of a narcissistic figurehead who has failed to unite the party. MAGA-ites will legitimately point out there is no better option. The problem is any conservative cable of uniting the base is instantly attacked by MAGA or discredited by association. No conservative capable of leading the country has a chance to build any momentum. It is only a matter of time before the Orangeman fully implodes. Once that happens conservatives will unite stronger than ever behind a new leader. The only real question is how much more damage will be done before that time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You missed the point. Polls are showing a drastic shift in ideology among lack and latino voters. Many got to experience success for the first time to have it ripped away. ‘Greatest Generation’ Survey on Race, Sex and Combat During World War II Runs Counter to Its Wholesome Image This is a perfect example of how Conservatism is a joke. The average white American in August 1945 was basically a white supremacist. Now, "Conservatives" (who are overwhelmingly white) are just as committed to a color-blind society as progressives. Conservatives have no core beliefs, they are always shifting based on the movement of progressives. There will be no "conservative resurgence" until a truly non-liberal (in the classical sense) movement emerges. When it does, it will be opposed by progressives and conservatives alike. |

Not possible at the fed level with the Uniparty control. Can Trump be elected? Sure, but you will see the same crap as 2017-20 only 10 fold. And the way Trump signs bills not realizing he has veto power (COVID bills), he might even be coerced into signing a similar 5k per day but you get your wall immigration bill.
Conservative movement at the state level has likely peaked. It just needs to be kept in place by those constituents. With the recent Texas middle finger and the 25 states joining them, this is more important than ever. |
