In other news, rats prefer not going down with the ship, despite all their previous prophesying

Idk about that, I’d like to see some stats on how many GOP congressmen endorse Harris.

Rats are great swimmers, if Trump won they would instantly become loyal again.

These speakers are the real conservatives and they will tell you up front that they don’t agree with most Democrats BUT they see the very real danger that their party has become. Sometimes a back-fire is necessary to fight a forest fire. In other words, take the bus that gets you closest to your destination.

Yup! We can return the favor by supporting Republicans who follow reason and act in good faith. We all recognize that in some places getting anyone left leaning elected is practically impossible. So what we can do is back a good red ticket instead. Just one of many courses we could take in the near future. If you squint, this also has the potential to lead into a three party system later on.

That said, accountability should be part of the game they’re playing.

Ever heard the phrase RINO, Republican In Name Only?

Reagan and Jerry Falwell purged the liberal GOPs back in the 1980s.

These days, George W. is considered a weak sister.

Oh how typical.

Republicans speaking out against the evil they not only participated in, but profited from… but only after they’ve done their damage, made their corruption money, and retired, so they can have their cake and eat it too.

Not all retired. But your point still mostly stands.

It’s insane to me that Brain Kemp would still support Trump after he shit talked him and his wife for not participating in his little insurrection.

Its almost as if Republicans don’t give a flying fuck about women, even the ones they are married to/are parents of.

Republican 2024 vice presidential candidate JD Vance once said about his wife, Usha: “Obviously, she’s not a white person … But I just, I love Usha. She’s such a good mom.”

Hey, females are their second favorite gender!

Then again they do only believe in two of those…

Man I wish people understood that the Republican party is literally dead. Like, the Trumps literally own the party. And constitutionally, they can defacto choose their leader from here on. I mean everyone lost their shit about Debbie Schulz and Bernie, but the Trumps literally fucking buy the RNC and no one makes the connection? Can we bring that back up? Because they call Kamala’s ascendancy questionable — it’s pure projection! Who can even believe anything our beleaguered eyes even say anymore. Fuck this, fuck everyone. If Kamala doesn’t win, I hope I’m dead before we infinitely regress into feudal pieces of shit

do the republicans realize they’re gonna have some bullshit fuckhead with the last name Trump on the ticket in 2028, 2032, 2036, and so on until they’re all dead?

The goal is to kick enough sand in everyone’s eyes that they just complain about Democrats, business as usual.

It’s like none of the Republicans of the last 8 year have any ambition of their own. Willing to suck off an orange circus clown for the chance to be in the circus.
