“Personality cults aren’t conservative. Conspiracy theories aren’t conservative. Lying that an election has been stolen, it’s not conservative. Acting like politics is a religion, it isn’t conservative”, Sasse said. “You are welcome to censure me again, but let’s be clear about why this is happening. It’s because I still believe, as you used to, that politics isn’t about the weird worship of one dude. The party could purge Trump skeptics. But I’d like to convince you that not only is that civic cancer for the nation, it’s just terrible for our party.”
1.) Who's in a personality cult? It's not about Trump. It's about what he represents. America First. We've been very clear about that. We follow Trump because he came up with it. It's that simple.
2.) Okay, Conspiracy theories aren't 'conservative'. They're retarded. But there's truth in every single one of them. So to dismiss them outright is foolish.
3.) Can you PROVE that it's a lie? No? You can't? Shut the fuck up
4.) Thanks for approval to censure. They will. Happily.
5.) It's happening because you're going against the will of the people you represent you fucking faggot. You work for THE PEOPLE. Not for YOURSELF. You went against the will/voice of the people. That's why you're censured. Jesus Christ, this guy thinks he's a celebrity.
6.) No one cares about what YOU believe. YOU are a vehicle for the voice of those your represent. Your thoughts and opinions don't matter. You're not paid to express what you think. You're paid to express what your voters think.
7.) No one is worshipping anyone. I feel like there's some jealousy here, though.
8.) We would like to purge you, yes. That would be nice. Be a skeptic. But if your voters aren't, you shut your fucking mouth about your personal feelings.
9.) The civic cancer for the nation are people like YOU. Who stab the people that put you where you are in the back. You're a fucking coward. You're pathetic. You're not a man. You're a weak minded whiney cunt who wants to cash out on those campaign donations. That's alright though, you won't be around in 2022. You'll be done. You know you'll be done. We'll find someone that will do the job because you're incapable.
10.) It's not your party. Not anymore. I suggest you make right with that. Because we're not going away. You are.
You really nailed it with #5. I can't believe there isn't someone in his ear at least saying "maybe don't quintuple down on this one Ben these people are pretty pissed." He actually does kind of sound like someone white knighting here, doesn't he?
As a side note..... conservatism allows for conspiracy theories. Mr. Conservative himself Barry Goldwater believed in alien conspiracies and was all but convinced our government was covering them up. Ronald Reagan had an astrologist. George W. Bush and Co. peddled what you could easily call a conspiracy theory (of WMDs in Iraq) among other things.
So this whole "this isn't who we are" sanctimony is not only weak its also completely false.

See the difference Sasse you scumbag loser? This is why the GOP is dead. It's never going back to the Bush era. You're out, or new party takes over. There is no middle ground.
Not a good look. This statement reads incredibly out of touch to me. I thought this guy was just a Romney-esque boob (and he probably still is), but this and other statements show he is actually kind of delusional and/or just bad at politics.
I mean if these are his genuine thoughts on the situation why not attempt to bridge the gap at all? Basically he's throwing salt on the wounds that he created. Very dumb politically if this guy wants any future within the party.

His statement can be boiled down to "How DARE you try to hold me accountable for my backstabbing behavior"

Can somebody explain what all of this censuring accomplishes? Is it a fast track toward removal from office or just a dumb larp?
