Republicans must move past Trump for sake of the party's future – and the nation's

[signalmankenneth]

Donald Trump, for more than six years, has dominated the Republican Party – dictating its positions on policy, rewarding his loyalists and punishing dissenters. Today, more than 20 months after the former president begrudgingly left the White House, the Grand Old Party remains largely under Trump's control.

Trump's leadership has produced mixed results for Republicans and conservatives. The Trump wave, particularly in swing states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, undoubtedly pushed the red tide to new heights in 2016.

In 2017, after Trump's upset victory over Hillary Clinton the previous November, Republicans held more power on the federal and state levels combined than at any point in nearly a century.

Trump's political strength waned quickly, however. Republicans lost the House in 2018, and two years later, voters rejected Trump's bid for a second term and gave Democrats control of the Senate.

Republicans favored to win House

In a month, aft the midterm elections are complete, America’s political landscape could look dramatically different once again. Republicans are favored to gain control of the U.S. House of Representatives and might capture a Senate majority, rendering President Joe Biden the lamest of ducks with more than two years left in his term.

But what would Republicans want to do with all of that power? How would a Republican legislative agenda confront the nation’s biggest challenges? What is the future of conservatism in the United States? What does it even mean to be a conservative in 2022?

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag ...

Otoh being a fascist would take ten seconds of consecutive thinking, and I doubt if Trump has the smarts for it.

What's your best example of fascism in America?

 

[LurchAddams]

What's your best example of fascism in America?

You're such an idiot, Yagina. Attacking all institutions like the press and all intelligence agencies like trump did - that's fascism.

I cannot believe how stupid you are.

No, fascism is the union of state and corporate power.

 

[Yakuda]

No, fascism is the union of state and corporate power.

I have asked these idiots multiple times for an example of those fascism, in was told, saying the election was stolen

 

[MAGA MAN]

Attacking all institutions like the press and all intelligence agencies like trump did - that's fascism.

Requiring people to be accountable is fascism? That's your best answer?

 

[BidenPresident]

GOP is Trump. They need him.

 

[Yakuda]

GOP is Trump. They need him.

He's a creation of the left.

 

[BidenPresident]

He's a creation of the left.

The left created Trump. Got it.

 

[Yakuda]

Requiring people to be accountable is fascism? That's your best answer?

Yeah they have a warped definition of fascism but that's what they do isn't it? They change definitions to fit their narrative.

 

[Yakuda]

The left created Trump. Got it.

They did. I know you can't fathom the idea but that doesn't mean it isn't true. The utter refusal by leftists to look at their behavior is the problem. You people seem to honestly think trump was created in a vacuum. I sincerely do not understand how you get through a day without injuring yourself since you have almost no self awareness whatsoever.

Republicans need to throw Trump under the bus!

Is that supposed to make sense? I have no idea what that was.

You got it backwards pal. It's your party who downplays and refuses to hold trump accountable for his crimes. All you do is run cover for criminals and racists. What do you tell yourself to get yourself to sleep at night you evil, authoritarian fucknut?

 

[Yakuda]

Is that supposed to make sense? I have no idea what that was.

I know you don't be sure you can't think. You repeat, you don't think. Like calling trump supporters fascist. You haven't got the first fucking clue what a fascist is but you heard some other idiot leftists say it so you repeat it.

Trumps rise to the presidency didn't happen in a vacuum. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I know this lost on you. It's not entirely your fault as my signature points out.

You fucking idiots haven't done a very good job yourselves have you? Six years and NOTHING. No self awareness whatsoever. How many fingers are you missing?

 

[Yakuda]

ok

That's about all you idiots can muster.

Makes total sense. But I understand why you can’t understand.
