?!
The violent rhetoric is almost entirely from the left.

We can start with every Republican voting to send yet more money to Ukraine. And by that I mean pumping more money into the military industrial complex.Curious who these Republican warmongers are in your view.
I've always thought that it's good to keep listening to what everyone is saying. It helps keep bubbles from forming in your thinking. But anymore, it's all just propaganda. What they're saying is nonsense.I grabbed names - Nixon didn't seem right.
I stopped... eh, for the most part. I still like to hear what the other side thinks. Good to get the blood pressure up every now and then.
That wasn't the point. Border walls was the policy. Congress wouldn't give him the money for it, because, even the Republicans like to have clean pools and manicured estate grounds. Who's gonna keep their lawns mowed if we stop illegal immigration. Who's gonna pluck the chickens?Border walls? He never delivered on his promise.
What? Did you even get out of bed during his term? We had a relatively peaceful 4 years. I don't agree that his foreign policy was purely reactionary. It was America-first. As it should be.I don't like his foreign policy - it's purely reactionary. He does everything Democrats don't purely out of some emotional bias. Plus, he seems to have an affinity toward authoritarian regimes and personalities, e.g. Putin, Orban.
I've no disagreements there. But, the line between applying critical thinking to his actions and just swallowing all the manure the establishment spreads over everything he said or does.I more dislike the cult of personality surrounding him more than he himself. To he followers he can do no wrong. No politician is right on everything yet his followers seem incapable of viewing him critically and decry anyone who takes a close look at him as infected with TDS.
Oh come on - every you have to admit the GOP moved right - Greene, Bobert, DeSantis, etc.
Yes. Trump is a politician. I'm not surprised though that it's extra special bad when Trump does it than when every other politician who's run for office did it. I suspect that you might also believe that Trump called the white nationalists of Charlottesville "very fine people".He's whatever it takes to get elected (or into office any way possible). One need only look at his past to see his leftist leanings. He figured out fast that he could become a right wing messiah and adeptly changed his image. So, at least I have to give him kudos there, I guess.
Trump has never actually been on the pro-life bandwagon, as far as I can tell. But I do think that making it an issue for states to decide was a compromise he could live with.I suppose discarding the pro-life stance is a move to a bigger tent.
I'd really wish were could open up the GOP to legal immigrants since they, on a majority, hold to traditional Christian values.
Elitist? Being elite is not the same thing as being an elitist. Is being wealthy inherently elitist? Elitists are people who, because of their social class, education, intelligence, or whatever has put them at the top, believe that they are more qualified to order society than the ordinary people who live in it. Obama, for example is an elitist. Mike Pence, is an elitist. George Soros, is an elitist. Nancy Pelosi, GWB, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell are all elitists.How TF such an East Coast elitist as Trump became adored by a crowd so set against elitism is amazing.
Well, no one on the right, even if deranged enough to be capable of doing such a thing, would do anything to Biden, because they know Kuntala is even worse.No, this is the result of everyone's violent rhetoric. TBF, I'm really surprised Biden is making it out unscathed.
And how would you think that the party platform should reflect that? Politicians are about laws. If there is no law to pass or repeal, what would they do with it?And yet in the post overturning of Roe abortion rates are going up.
Maybe laws aren't the only way to be Pro-Life.
Blah blah blah blah blah.....
I keep hearing people whine about how the Republicans this or not this, used to be, far right like the far left. Blah blah blah blah blah.....
Bottom line is the entire world is changing and although I do not like what I see, I must make the best informed decision I can to hang on to whatever foundation we may have left. Do I like what I see on either side? Is either side perfect? No to both. Knowing that, I look at the best possible person who can get the job done that I see is best for our future.
Do I bash or talk negative about the things I do not like or do I talk about the things that I think will help the best? The left LOVES listing to all the people who bash Trump but they say they will still vote for him! Why, because the negative points YOU whine about are talking points they pick up on. Say then enough and you eventually can indoctrinate some into voting against Trump.
EVERYONE needs to be lifting up Trump (or who ever else can help this country). We need to be the positive talking points for all to hear so we may sway others to vote for him. The same people are drooling at the bit at the thought of an opportunity to point out someone's weak points at the expense of our future.
We are weeks away from the election. The 2 runners are final. At this point the debate or discussion about who is fit or not should be far behind us all. At this time we should be highlighting the positive impact we can have on our country and proud of that. You just may sway an undecided to vote. As it is right now, some of the rhetoric I read here is nothing more than ammo for the enemy and certainly will not sway anyone to vote.
I’m going on a limb but JettaKnight has TDS and is a close relative to KUTT.
Nah. I think JK is having a hard time navigating the new post Trump GOP world where establishment Republicans have become enemy second only to Democrats.I’m going on a limb but JettaKnight has TDS and is a close relative to KUTT.
Well, yeah. That's because Democrats are promoting abortion as something everyone should do. It looks to me like they're trying to punish pro-lifers for taking away their holy grail, RvW. They're trying to rub pro-lifer's noses in all their abortions.And yet in the post overturning of Roe abortion rates are going up.
Maybe laws aren't the only way to be Pro-Life.
So you are saying a distant relative to Kut and not a close relative!?!Nah. I think JK is having a hard time navigating the new post Trump GOP world where establishment Republicans have become enemy second only to Democrats.
I don't think he's so much like Kut. Kut was fairly progressive. JK, to me, seems like more of a trad con mixed with some neocon. Socially conservative leaning, politically moderate. Kinda like Nixon, only not a crook. Presumably. I mean, he could get elected to the Indiana General Assembly and fit right in with the rest of them.
But, we'll wear him down. But I think it's gonna be hard to convince him that we don't need to get involved in world conflicts under the guise of projecting American interests thorughout the world.
Better support for child care, prenatal services, etc.And how would you think that the party platform should reflect that? Politicians are about laws. If there is no law to pass or repeal, what would they do with it?
And Israel?We can start with every Republican voting to send yet more money to Ukraine. And by that I mean pumping more money into the military industrial complex.
Just say no to even more Federal spending. It is not the governments job to provide any of that.Better support for child care, prenatal services, etc.
