BASE of the republican party, or as close to it as we can make it. They need to rely on their words and actions to generate support. If you want MAGA candidates to continue, people who rely on their instincts for love of America and the Constitution, we need to cut off their canned supply of republican support. Do not allow them to rely on this any longer, and obviously, do not donate to the RNC.
But if you've lost faith in all future elections, all I can offer as an argument is that this is too extreme. We are beset with cowards from on high, yes, but, we are still here. Our vote was actually very powerful in this election. It is what got the democrats caught. The world knows this. Our country knows this.
I will only support hardcore MAGA candidates in the future, and I am unaffiliated. If and only if we can regroup and win after this, against all odds, and against our dashed hope of democrats being true countrymen, then we will have a new party. As it stands now, democrats own basically everything. I'm not okay with that.
A live dog is better than a dead lion. So do not let cynicism take over your mind. Do not forsake true MAGA candidates in the future. You know it when you see it. Get wiser about the rhetoric in use, the things said and not said. For example, I know a lot of people liked Ted Cruz, but he's milquetoast. He's weak and always was. I know we've also all been tricked by at least one person we thought would hold the line, but all we can do is resolve to know better next time.
The people you love in the social media community, even unknowns in your community that are MAGA, we need to champion them to rise up and take on leadership roles.
Be careful when you change it to Independent that you don't accidentally change it to the Independent Party.
I did it. Fuck the GOP. Grow your balls back and we'll talk.
I've never been Unaffiliated, feels good man. MATCH ME PEDES.
I had already changed my registration status to independent before the general election. I knew Trump would be the last "Republican" I ever vote for and would want nothing to do with the party once he's gone. I wasn't wrong.
Well, there is that book "The Last President." Seems there is something prophetic to it now.
Options are good. One way we gain options is to absolutely terrify the republican party. I'm not planning on voting for them ever again, but a party is a hollow shell. There might come a day when every single one of these traitors is gone, and republican will mean something different. See, I'm open-minded.
The republican party is too badly infiltrated to be called a party. We have to be wise to the signs of weakness that result in compromisers. Anyone who compromises on the Bill of Rights, and isn't actively fighting for the full restoration of the written intent of them is absolutely no-go.
I understand this perspective, but this isn't how you win elections. People talk about progressives being lazy, but leaving the party won't win elections. What wins elections is grassroots campaigning, winning local leadership elections within the GOP, and door to door campaigning for candidates.
I disagree, because I see an opportunity here and you're right about grassroots movements being key. We need to focus on the art of persuasion. Cut the joking and mockery and focus on showing people why we stand on the beliefs we have. Red-pilling isn't simply a meme, it's a powerful tool of rhetoric.
