Voting for Trump after everything that has transpired is the epitome of gulping down whatever the party gives them. Exactly. Acting like he's above it because he hasn't been manipulated is laughable.

There are no "mainstream" Republicans left in the party, there is only the cult of Trump. Any conventional republican voter who pulls the lever for a rapist and convicted felon has no integrity or principles whatsoever. Voting for Trump after everything that has transpired is the epitome of gulping down whatever the party gives them. Yeah we just have to vote for communists because trump committed all those very legitimate felonies in NY and raped that crazy lib women in public two decades ago.
July 31, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, The Norseman said: Not talking about the Maga crowd. They are a relatively new development and clearly devout. That being said, every single mainstream Republican I know wishes that Trump wasn't our candidate. Every single mainstream Democrat I know is slobbering over Harris. The F are you talking about? Every anti-Trump Republican has been derided, called a RINO and forced out of your party.

July 31, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: And yet they still did. How's that working out for the GOP? Are you guys still pretending that the guy who thinks he actually won the 2020 election is mentally fit for the job? The same guy who was found liable for rape, convicted on 34 felonies, tried to illegally overturn the election, and then incited a riot at the Capitoal that got people killed. That doesn't sound absolutley insane to you at all, right? Nice job turning it back to Trump. One trick pony.
July 31, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, The Norseman said: Not talking about the Maga crowd. That's all that's left. Look around you, dude. You can count on one hand the Republicans still there who have any shred of dignity. Romney, Cheney, Collins, Murkowski, and who else?

My mistake for literally bringing up the nominee of that party you were referring to. Quote The difference between mainstream Republicans and Democrats is that we can be critical and distrustful of our own party. Once again, you're forgetting what you even wrote. Signs of cognitive decline? Early onset dementia? Maybe you're unfit to keep posting. Must step down from the EMB!

July 31, 20241 yr 9 minutes ago, The Norseman said: Of course, and if Harris wins it will be about Trump imploding...which I fully expect him to do. This is my point exactly, Democrats pretending like Kamala is some amazing candidate is laughable. She was the obligatory pick and nothing more. Your needing to group all Democrats as sycophants following Harris, essentially equivalent to Trump followers, smells of a superiority complex. Like you see what others don't and need to be superior over people supporting Harris because they can't differentiate the qualities of a candidate. Dude, you aren't superior, we all see it. The difference is that many people, me included who would likely vote for a decent, moral, common sense republican candidate, have the compass as citizens to back anyone opposing the wannabe dictator and his posse who want to overthrow democracy and rewrite the constitution (Bill of Rights goes straight to the shredder). No one is pretending that Harris is great. Look in the mirror -- you need to see the narrative you keep repeating in order to feel like only you see the truth. You don't. We all do. Except for Procus, KZ and the other nut jobs which inhabit the same tent as you -- they do, maybe in different spots but it is the tent you are in.

Except for Procus, KZ and the other nut jobs which inhabit the same tent as you -- they do, maybe in different spots but it is the tent you are in. Nobody is saying they are superior. I'm simply pointing out that people are treating Kamala like she's the second coming of Christ. Just because you aren't doesn't mean that she isn't being fawned over by the mainstream media and many of the cultists in here despite her horrendous record as a VP. I just think that's ridiculous. Just like I think its ridiculous when the MAGA crowd says it about Trump.

Just like I think its ridiculous when the MAGA crowd says it about Trump. I didn't write that "they" are superior. I wrote that your need to write and rewrite a narrative that lumps Harris supporters together "like she is the second coming of Christ," smells of YOU having a superiority complex. "A superiority complex is a psychological defense mechanism that develops over time to help people cope with feelings of inferiority. It's characterized by an exaggerated belief that one's abilities or accomplishments are better than others." The causality of the response to Harris is much more likely to be energy about defeating Trumpism than your notion that you "see the truth" about Harris followers being dimwitted sheeple.

Just like I think its ridiculous when the MAGA crowd says it about Trump. Oh wow. You seem very reasonable, unbiased and level headed. It appears that you're above the fray, don't buy into partisan politics and call out both sides out equally. And since Harris has been getting positive coverage for all of 2 weeks and Trump's had his ass eaten by the right wing media for the last 8 years straight, you must've been making this point often exclusively about Trump prior to the last 2 weeks. I'm sure if I just check I'll find a number of posts from you like this calling out the right wing media...aaaaand, nothing. How shocking.
July 31, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, The Norseman said: Yes, I am painfully aware. But Tump being an idiot doesn't change any of the things I said. The difference between mainstream Republicans and Democrats is that we can be critical and distrustful of our own party. Democrat's just gulp down whatever the party gives them and quickly learn to love it. 1- trump is much worse than just an idiot. you know this. 2- being a "mainstream" republican myself and openly ripping into my party for it's BS, i don't seem to remember you really being all that critical or distrusting of the gop. maybe i missed it. additionally, while i'm not trying to cheer for the dems, they have absolutely called out their own and have pushed them out when it was warranted (ex - look up gov cuomo) now, i know that's not the case "all of the time", but the dems are light years ahead of the gop in this regard.
July 31, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, The Norseman said: The older I get the more I see it. Reminds me of when they all fell in love with Biden again despite that fact that he was ancient and a complete embarrassment during the Obama administration. Not a well kept secret that Obama hated him. Reminds me when you all called Obama an empty suit and you guys lost in a landslide.
July 31, 20241 yr The traditional, Reagan Republican party is dead and gone. The last chance to save it was by moving on from Trump in 2024 and nominating...well, any sane Republican. Any of them would be wiping the floor with Harris. But all of the traditional Republicans who believe in limited government, reduced spending, etc. have been banished from the party. The GOP convention didn't feature (i) the only living GOP ex-President who isn't the nominee, (ii) the former VP or (iii) the 2012 candidates, because they are all now called RINOs and have no place in the party. If Reagan were alive, he'd (i) be 113 years old and (ii) wouldn't be invited to the convention.

I agree 100% with the exception that I think the missed opportunity was back in Jan '21 when Mitch decided not to try to convict Trump.

Eh...there was still a chance to course correct in 2024 by avoiding the guy with 4 criminal convictions and no real platform other than I want to be President to pardon myself and seek retribution. Pretty much any of the candidates other than Ramaswamy would have helped the GOP move on. January 2021 was a mistake, but they did have one last chance to hang on to relevancy and blew it.
