This RINO Never-Trumper voted to impeach GEOTUS, and it looks like her constituents will be sending her a loud message, God bless 'em.
Epic comment. I wish there was a “gold” equivalent on here!
I thought this must be a parody, but it's real!
It's real, crazily enough:

Serious question-- is this real? It's so ridiculous, I'm scared to share it and it turns out to be fake.
spez: It's real.

I am Latina and am overwhelmed with disgust at this and I will not stay silent about it.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when a friend told me it was impossible to be racist against white people. She is studying sociology at a university in Chicago and had a longwinded argument she heard in school about why racism can only exist against historically marginalized groups. She was so haughty and sure of herself about it. These young people are so easily misled. I told her it's completely insane, and that what she heard is radical and unheard of as far as the "definition of racism", not to mention very dangerous in its implications.
I believe the ideal is a colorblind society, to the extent that we focus on merit and agree it's what's inside that counts. I don't care what they say or do, we can't categorize and define ourselves like that. We all have our unique cultures and celebrate that in our own way, and obviously we look different, but that's where the meaning of it all should end. All racism should be regarded as disdainful, not just some racism. People should be judged as individuals, end of. Sadly, we had largely achieved this as a society by the mid-2000s. What they want is for society to regress, not progress.
Trump is a smart and strategic man. Third-party was never a smart strategy if you like winning. He wouldn’t abandon what he spent five years building.
This is the way.
Problem is we're in a bubble here, assuming everyone who voted for Trump is like us. Most aren't even thinking about a 3rd party.
Good luck organizing this on the local and state levels. Explain why we can't succeed at primarying some RINOs, but we are going to somehow get the same voters to all abandon ship? It's not realistic.
I will follow Trump's lead, but I predict that he will NOT go 3rd party, because he ultimately cares about doing the smartest and most efficient thing to win, not wasting time, energy and resources just to send a "message".
All of the reasons I’m seeing for a third party are emotional and have to do with sending a message or otherwise giving the middle finger to Mitch McConnell, ignoring the millions of based Republican leaders out there. I don’t care about messaging; I care about winning. I don't want to waste time being mad and making sure they know it, etc. I want to push the Flakes and McConnells and Romneys out of the way and continue the business of winning.
Trump would not automatically get all of his 2016/2020 votes in a third party run. The fact is that everyone on here is in a bubble. I’m the only person in my circle of family and friends, all conservative Trump voters, who frequents TD. Even after everything that's happened, most center-right voters are still low-info and wouldn’t make a drastic move like abandoning the GOP. Sadly, to win, we still need their votes.
Third party also wouldn’t stop the fraud from happening again! Our energy through 2022 should be laser-focused on combatting fraud, which means getting the RINOs out of DC, but it especially means winning primaries and local races-- mostly ignored on here. Trump built a winning party and we want to abandon ship? This new party stuff is out in left field, a guaranteed path to defeat, and a complete waste of our movement’s time and energy.
You know what would be a lot less work than attempting that? Primarying McConnell and co. How about we try that first? Or tell me how we could somehow get enough Republicans to leave the party altogether if we can’t just get enough Republicans to vote some RINOs out.
This is awesome. And here I thought it would be some glowie post, LOL. But seriously, I LOVE this and we should all stop whispering.
Such a sweet photo. God bless and comfort you Reggie... that is a lovely angel you have. Please keep posting and sharing how it's going ❤
First thing I noticed. What kind of person throws a cinder block not even knowing who is behind that window?
Agree with the sentiment but not the flag being upside down. My problem is with the people desecrating the values that flag always will stand for. My disdain is for those individuals and their actions, not America itself.
No idea, I don't live in the Miami area or keep up with that crowd anymore. But I saw that he had run and won.
I showed up at some GOP meetings back in 2015 and made small talk, eventually someone mentioned that my precinct may not have a committeewoman running. Sure enough, I was able to run unopposed. Easy in. I got into the official Trump campaign board of my county through these connections. Someone else I know did the same thing that year, and in 2020 ran for state representative and won.
All I’m saying is to start showing up to your local GOP district/county/state gatherings.
All are usually on some online calendar on the website, or announced if you sign up for email updates. I can’t tell you how many events I’ve seen announced through local GOP emails. If every pede got offline and started showing up at these things, it would cement the MAGA movement’s place as the new GOP.
My favorite day!
How many times has it been tried? What Trump did in the party was revolutionary. It's not like we've been trying it over and over for decades. The establishment reigned and most conservative voters were completely asleep before he showed up. There has been enormous progress made in the last 5 years.
And we are still woefully uninformed on the local/state/party politics! We have barely tapped into our potential for influence there. No one can tell me we have completely exhausted our options. We're just pissed at Mitch McConnell. So I think the calls to start a new party are premature and too focused on the DC traitors, when there are millions upon millions of based Republicans and GOP leaders across the country.
As far as failed plans/speaking Chinese... there's a reason no 3rd party has ever taken off. We are simply more likely to fail trying that vs. reforming the national GOP leadership, and I like winning. What I'm saying isn't about loyalty to any particular entity, just pure strategy concerns and a desire to see the MAGA movement grow, not be sidelined while helping Democrats win forever. Trump considered all this before he ran in 2015. He wasn't a traditional Republican, but he knew it was the surest way to have a chance at winning. And it worked. We shouldn't be too quick to abandon what he built.
I'd join that campaign in a heartbeat!!! I don't care that Marco is a Miami cubano like me. He's become such a RINO. The older Miami ppl love him, though. Worth a shot still.
Agreed, and I think we need to finish Trump's job of taking over the party. Local and state GOP are BASED and we would only be doing the commies a favor if we split the movement.
Pedes everywhere, start showing up at all the local district GOP meetings. Run for committeeman/woman. Very easy in. I did it unopposed in a metro area. State govt is also very accessible.
I've been around him several times at GOP stuff, but I've never bothered to take the opportunity to shake his hand, get a photo, whatever. I was always mad at him at the time for some anti-Trump thing he had said. I remember one time everyone flocked around him like Elvis. No thanks. He serves me, not the other way around.
The Acreage/Loxahatchee is the real Trump country down here!
Party is only as good as the people in it. Eject the RINOs and you have one based party. The state and local GOP are super red pilled now! The difference since before Trump is staggering. We gotta finish his work, not abandon it. McConnell is just the final boss.
