There’s only one candidate in this election who - as much as I may disagree with her on policy - is not a blatant, proven threat to the rule of law and U.S. Constitution. In the past, conservatives would have long ago kicked Trump to the curb. Nowadays however, the GOP establishment is too cowardly and spineless to get rid of the guy.

Just as with drug addicts, the GOP will need to hit rock bottom before it decides to confront its massive problem. My hope is that when Trump loses, enough people on the political right will finally understand that their 2016 Faustian bargain was a really bad idea all along, and that returning to actual conservatism instead of neo-populism will serve them well. And if they don’t, well…the political marketplace will continue to self-sort. At the expense of those of us who still believe in the original, actual conservative values that made America great. Kinzinger’s speech last week basically reflects how I feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIYSU5omhqM Have you lost your f#cking mind using this POS Kinzinger as an example??? Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger says he's 'open' to AR-15 ban Kinzinger: Gun owners should help dismantle the Second Amendment Republicans Speak Out in Favor of AR-15 Ban: 'Certainly Open to That' Kinzinger knows as well as most people that with a Democrat in the Oval Office, gun control is a non starter. How much gun control did we get under Obama and Biden? Before either of them were elected the Arfcom intelligencia assured us that they’d implement gun control. Didn’t happen. Why? Because Republicans in Congress actually care about gun control and will stop it when they don’t also hold the Executive Branch. We’re far more likely to get gun control with Trump in the White House. That’s because Trump in the White House assures a Democrat House and Senate, and if they passed and presented a gun control bill to Trump that had majority support amongst the electorate, he’d sign it in a heartbeat. That’s not just my opinion. History demonstrates that’s how it works. |

Trump has already lost at least 10-15% of the votes that barely got him across the finish line in 2016. And he isn’t more popular today than he was in 2016. The guy is going to lose, whine that he was cheated or that the election was “stolen”, and eventually go down in the history books as America’s most pathetic loser. Vote for that if you feel you must. I won’t be joining you. |

Kamala wants to put fucking price controls on our food supply. Trump doesn’t. She wants to skyrocket capital gains taxes and apply them to unrealized gains. Trump doesn’t. She has actively participated in law-fare against both private citizens and public oponents. Trump- for all his blustering- hasn’t. She participated in suppression of information to influence an election. Trump didn’t. And for all the talk of a civil war, the only shots fired so far didn’t come from Trump supporters. |

Historically, birds of a feather stick together. Historically, democrats have had no problem starting a war.

Be it tribalism, fear of not moving with the crowd, being unpopular amongst anonymous “basement dwellers”* as if you should give a flying fuck what they think to begin with, or any other reason, they don’t want to publicly acknowledge that Trump is far more dangerous a candidate than almost anyone else on either side of the aisle. Trump has already lost at least 10-15% of the votes that barely got him across the finish line in 2016. And he isn’t more popular today than he was in 2016. The guy is going to lose, whine that he was cheated or that the election was “stolen”, and eventually go down in the history books as America’s most pathetic loser. Vote for that if you feel you must. I won’t be joining you. View Quote This is one of those elections where I'm glad I don't live in a swing state. I'm not sure what happens when Trump loses. |

His genius for self-promotion and remarkable ability to defy existing norms could not overcome his ignorance of most areas of policy, distrust of genuine expertise, short attention span, incorrigible dishonesty, and inability to place the national interest ahead of his own need for attention and adulation. Qualities that had sometimes worked in his up-and-down business career, in reality TV, and even on the campaign trail proved wholly unsuited to the tasks of governing, especially in the unforgiving world of foreign policy. In the end, even America’s many remaining advantages could not make up for Trump’s innate incompetence."

Propaganda will get some votes
Hate for trump will get the most votes The rest will be harvested They ballot harvested in key localities last time, it worked, why would they stop now...or ever. I'll grab my popcorn and watch the biggest shit hole Dem run cities continue to collapse. And the videos showing the Mexican gangs taking over the cities that voted for Dems is gonna be hilarious. |

Because Republicans in Congress actually care about gun control and will stop it when they don't also hold the Executive Branch. We're far more likely to get gun control with Trump in the White House. That's because Trump in the White House assures a Democrat House and Senate, and if they passed and presented a gun control bill to Trump that had majority support amongst the electorate, he'd sign it in a heartbeat. That's not just my opinion. History demonstrates that's how it works. View Quote Rep. Adam Kinzinger: GOP Must Create Solutions For Gun Reform |

I get not voting for Trump. So those who are going to vote for Kamala the Marxist to oppose him.
Will you vote against down ballot Republicans if they support/are endorsed by Trump? If The Kid Sniffer was still running would you vote for him against Trump? He has multiple allegations of sexual assault and is all over video sniffing and getting handsy with kids. Just wondering how far this goes with some. Just Trump or get rid of any other "Trumpers"? |

Well, if you listened to what she said about equality and equity... I don't like her policy suggestions re: taxing unrealized gains, and I didn't like it when Trump signed a bill to tax unrealized gains, either. Trump's USSC had an opportunity to rule that the federal government cannot tax unrealized games. The court chickened out: --- Instead, Kavanaugh explained, the real “precise and narrow question” before the justices was whether Congress can attribute income that an entity has realized but not distributed to its shareholders or partners and then tax that income." --- Thomas, a George H.W. Bush nominee, addressed it directly in his dissent (with riding along and hopefully learning something): --- Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the court’s decision, in an opinion joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch. He argued that for purposes of the 16th Amendment, “income” is only income that a taxpayer receives. And because the Moores “never actually received any of their investment gains,” he contended, “those unrealized gains could not be taxed as ‘income.’” --- https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/06/court-upholds-trump-era-corporate-tax-on-foreign-earnings/ |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By StephenNW: Originally Posted By macros73: Originally Posted By fargo007: Originally Posted By StephenNW: Originally Posted By TW52: Trump SUCKS, but the alternative is fucking TERRIBLE. Like the fact that Trump is the BEST President of my lifetime says a lot and the fact that people are still too dumb to see the obvious is amazing to me. Seeing the obvious? Here’s what’s obvious to me: Trump is a convicted felon, an insurrectionist, a literal sociopath, a con artist (Trump University), a well-known fraudster (the Trump Foundation), a rapist, a perennial whiner and perma-victim, and a person for whom many of his own former high-level staff members - including his VP, Chief of Staff, National Security Advisor, et. al - won’t vote for him either. (BTW, that last bit is what’s known as “a clue”.) The funny thing is, if any Democrat running for president had that same embarrassing and shameful ‘resume’, people like you would be screaming bloody murder. You’d be using that fact as proof that the Democrats have finally gone off the deep end, have no functioning moral compass, and therefore have lost any right to be taken seriously. And in that circumstance…you’d be correct. Problem is, we’re not describing the Democrat candidate above. We’re describing Donald Trump. He’s very likely going to lose, and the entire GOP and everyone who has contributed to keeping Trump politically alive for the past eight years will 100% deserve the loss. To me those are the things that are “obvious”. But I understand, some people need to learn these things the hard way. And so they shall. ETA: I like the way you say Trump “SUCKS”, then in the next sentence claim he’s the “BEST” president in your lifetime. The cognitive dissonance of Trump’s supporters never ceases to amaze. Fixed it for you. No charge. Yeah, 90% of the responses to my (relatively few) comments here on GD are just like fargo007’s. They can’t actually refute anything I’ve said so…memes, one-liners, ad hominems, etc. I like it. That’s how you can always tell they’re on their back feet. Rent free. |

View Quote "Never Trump" seems pretty clear. Endorsed by Trump isn't necessarily damning. If they've supported Trump's lies, especially his lies purporting a "stolen" election, then they can fuck off too. Trump refused to endorse McCormick for US Senate in 2022 because he wouldn't support the stolen election lies. Trump endorsed Oz, and PA elected Fetterman instead of a Trump stooge. Trump endorsed McCormick for 2024. Here's hoping McCormick doesn't start spouting the orange koolaid. I don't want to vote for Casey any more than I want to vote for Harris. |
