Trump Endorses Pedophile
I'm confused, I thought trump was protecting us from these kinds of satanic, pedophile elected officials.

One of the most interesting things about the cult of trump is that it has spawned a reactionary cult on the left that is as blinded by their hatred for all things trump as the cult of trump is blind to his bullsh!t.
The country would be better off if trump would go away so (hopefully) members of both of these cults could come to their senses.

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
If you think she could get elected to anything now in WY or nationally you are fooking delusional Which means outside of getting a gig on CNN or MSDNC, her political career is over.houndawg wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 4:59 amAZGrizFan wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 12:45 pm Which is interesting, because Cheney’s witch hunt was completely personal.

Literally sacrificed her political career to attempt to accomplish a personal vendetta.
Her political career is not over - you gotta be the most out-of-touch person on this forum

Much of the imaging problem for the R’s right now isn’t just Trump, it’s the politicians who openly support him.

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
The reactionary cult isn't just made up of Trumpers, it includes pseudo progressives and illiberals. The people that believe trump is a fascist, that the American republic was on the verge of extinction on January 6, that the ends justify the means when it comes to getting rid of trump.kalm wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:09 amI’m not sure never Trumpers are an example of cult behavior.

You’re only antifascist if Trump IS, in fact, a fascist. Which he is not. Thus your point is moot.kalm wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 12:11 pmIf being anti fascist is considered a cult…color means cultish.UNI88 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:13 am

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
I think that he is indeed a fascist if you go with this definition of facism from https://www.dictionary.com/browse/fascism:
I think that is definitely what Trump wants, with him as the dictator.a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

And say things as they really are

Instead of showing common sense by being principled in your beliefs and being anti-Trump (the two certainly aren't mutually exclusive), you sold your souls to the ghouls on the Left.

So the majority of Republicans who believe the election was stolen are really just concerned about Democracy?

Yes. Thought that was pretty clear. How, exactly, can you have a functioning democracy if you have zero faith in the election process?

The sad thing is that she's what passes for the kind of person we need in politics now.JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 2:47 pmBingo. The sad thing about the Cheney situation is she is exactly the kind of person we need in politics. She is principled and she will not sacrifice her principles just to get elected. She did what all politicians should do. She staked out her positions based on what she believes is right (and IS right) and she said that if people want to vote against her for that it is what it is.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 12:22 pm
Real leadership isn't about always voting according to the will of your constituents. Sometimes what your constituents want might not be the right thing. Real leadership is having the wisdom to recognize when that is true and the courage to do the right thing.
Liz Cheney is a conservative's conservative. But she refused to go along with lying to people. Wyoming's Republicans decided they would rather have someone who lies to them.

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
Indeed. The Dems have been decrying the process for years now - 2000, 2004, 2016 - all years where the process failed (and coincidentally they lost). Electoral college, the Constitution, etc, all things that to those folks, especially those who voted in Congress to void the election results, think are part of a failed process. No one likes to lose apparently.
