The media focuses on the few violent infiltrators, so we should be focusing on the massive number of peaceful and friendly supporters who were there.
That’s how you play the game. If you do what Cruz does (I don’t hate Cruz, just saying that he hedges like a normal politician would) then you are just helping your enemies.
I’m not saying Cruz should talk like people here do. (he should if he wants to, but I’d understand if he didn’t) I mean that Republicans as a whole are always on the defensive, conceding the made up point of the media and letting them control the discourse. The reason Trump is so hated is that he has the power to redirect the conversation exactly where he wants it to go.
Yup. All true. I guess at the end of the day I'm just saying we can stick to our guns 100%, but manage our expectations. Cruz probably doesn't agree with us on everything. If he's 70% with us good enough for me. I don't consider that a concession when you look at the lunatic left. If we're waiting for a 110% MAGA candidate we're gonna be waiting forever and get nothing done. Even GEOTUS wasn't perfectly MAGA. He spent too much. There should have never been ANY shutdowns. There shouldn't have been ANY covid relief stimulus, debt-spending BS.
I'm not for voting for the lesser of two evils. I'm done with that. You can't get away from it in some aspects though unless people off this forum start running for office.
We have to make all these considerations with our politicians. I have and do, and while I am suspicious of Cruz, I believe him to be generally on our side. I do not put him in the same RINO camp with romney. I think that's objectively false and wrong.
Have a good one, buddy. Keep fighting the good fight. It's never time to give up on america.
Yes violence did technically occur from Antifa, but calling Jan 6 as a whole violent just implicates the thousands of patriots who were there.
Contrast it with how Trump is speaking about it, which to me is more accurate.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. I can’t argue with that. Take care. :)
