And you do an amazing job of it, you march in lockstep with your beloved party and do whatever they tell you to do

Myn party is as rotten at the top as the other. That is what needs to change. I am not for Ukraine.

It won't change until we stop voting for them. We've got to buck up and say "no" to the fear mongers. Lesser of two evils is killing us.

I'm thinking the GOP has been infiltrated by the left. Maybe it started in 1980 with Reagan. Maybe a little before that. IDK. But regardless, it's my opinion that somewhere in the not so distant past, the left began funding and infiltrating the GOP with dem-lites. (Liberal Republicans, RINO's etc etc)
They'll take someone who's easily bought and paid for (in it for the money). Fund them, promote them and get them elected. And all they have to do is play a part. People like all of my states congressmen and senators. Republicans who will vote for debt ceiling increases, funding for places like Ukraine. Gender studies in Pakistan etc etc etc
Take Trump for example (I seen you rolling your eyes).... Where else in our history of this country, would republicans support ANY republican who spent as much as he did. Support as much unconstitutional BS as he has and invoke as much liberty smashing legislation as he has?
Would any one have supported Trump if he said he was going ban bump stocks and spend $8 trillion in just 4 years? Or if he said he would sign a bill that forces landlords to not force their tenants to pay rent?
Not in a million years, all the way up to 2020, would we support someone like that. 2024 for some of you.

So I'm thinking the left have secretly infiltrated not only our elections, but infiltrated who's allowed to run.
Oh sure they don't control everyone. They couldn't. They'll let people like Chip Roy, Rand Paul & Mike Lee get elected. But for the most part, they gotta fund their own campaigns.
What GOP politician has been in congress the longest? Certainly not McCarthy. So how did he get into a position to become speaker? His voting record sucks to high heaven. He's left of center on almost all issues. He's caved to Biden. He caved to Pelosi. So did Trump. Trump constantly caved to Pelosi and the establishment.
The left did to the GOP what the big government republicans did to the 07 tea party. And it's a safe bet that the left had already infiltrated the GOP by 2007. Probably by 1980.

You gotta admit that every single time we get a fiscal conservative POTUS candidate, he gets thrown under the bus by his own party.

I've been saying since 2016 that Donald Trump has always been a far left wing New York City limousine liberal and would lure the rubes into the far left cave.

Look at them now. Supporting and appeasing a KGB thug. Supporting protectionism. Opposing our allies. Whining about "The Establishment". Attacking law enforcement. Cheering his adultery.

You got the evil stuff backwards.

Oh? You're a fan of evil?

No, not at all.

You are for Russia. Well duh....we all knew that.

Has the GOP been infiltrated by the left?​

Ever hear of the term "RINO?" "Republican In Name Only." The Bush boys were Globalists and very friendly with the Demwit Party. The GOP was infiltrated a long time ago.

You have that wrong.

RINOs in your context are actually REAL Republicans... they were there before you, and they'll be there once you're gone.

MAGA Republicans - autocrat-enablers - are anathema to traditional Republican conservatism - more akin to Brown Shirts.

MAGA Republicans have turned the Grand Old Party into the Low-Brow Trailer-Trash Party.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

How does the uniparty subvert teh other members of the uniparty

Golly Gee that's a tough one

Incorrect. The "Grand Old Party" put America and the Constitution before Socialism and Globalism. Most of the most powerful Republicans today are completely in bed with Socialist programs and Globalist ideals. An old-fashioned Republican would fight hard to secure our border. Name a single RINO who fights tooth-and-nail to put a stop to the flood of illegal invaders pouring in from the south. Hint: Don't waste your time.

 

[Frankenstein]

Actually, it’s Cult 45 who will be rooted out after you fall flat on your faces again next year. Either way, enjoy being in the minority for the foreseeable future.

Well at least we are principled and fight for what we believe in, the left just does what they are told to do.

A few more terms of endearment for you to consider:
1. Liberal World Order. Policy that the young commies running the WH are pushing for.

2. There are two types of Republicans as you describe. The RINOs like Romney, Cheney, and Bush are globalists who only want to keep their big donors happy, call them "conservatives", because they talk conservatism, but don't govern conservatively, all they do is cut taxes but not spending. The Populists are "America First" and gain moderate democrat voters because they push against globalism.

 

[Oddball]

You would be wrong. It's been infiltrated by an extreme right wing cult that worships a single man under the guise of defending the Constitution and putting America first.

Except that Trump isn't mildly right wing, let alone "extreme"....The brief list in the OP demonstrates such.

I'd say yhou're being obtuse on purpose, if it wasn't already evident that you really are a completely detached dullard.

 

[Oddball]

All those crazy right wingnuts who believe in borders, police, personal security, not showing six year olds gay porn and God. They're just EVERYWHERE! They need to be stopped! Fortunately you believe in a rational party that turned our southern border over to Mexican Cartels and are rational prosecuting crime victims rather than criminals. Because you're against extremism.

This is all lost on you, isn't it? Be honest

The blind hatred of populists in general, and Trumpsters in particular, are the center of his attention.....The myopia only follows.

FISA 702. Warrantless spying on Americans.
Patriot act, which gives the government the authority to trespass without a warrant or probable cause.
All that money he borrowed from the fed, which helped to destroy the USD value even more, goes against out economic liberty and forces us to pay more for things because the government devalued the currency. It's one thing if a manufacturer or a retail store increases their prices. But being forced to do it, because of a currency deficit created by the government, is another.
That forces price increases. It forces wage increases. It hurts an companies trade.

The rent moratorium, regardless of the pressures, it was Trump who gave the CDC the authorization to initiate it. That in itself goes against the liberties of those who had rental property. While governors somehow had the authority to close businesses, that in itself should've been stopped by the supreme court. Especially in the states. Trump was not against the closings. He sort of blew with the wind on that issue.

What? FISA 702 is from 2008 and signed by Bush?? And Patriot Act was in 2001, so what are you talking about? Trump had nothing to do with those becoming law.

The money you are referring to was to hand out to people forced not to work, he would have been vilified had he not done that. I agree that no one should have been forced not to work, but that lies on the purview of the fascist state governors that forced that on their populations, of which he had no control. Anything he would have tried to force that wasn't under his authority would have been called out and he would have been called a dictator and 'destroying democracy'. They did that anyway when he didn't do a damn thing to warrant either accusation.

The CDC acts under it's own jurisdiction and laws, it took the Supreme Court to knock down their orders.

None of anything you listed was under Trump's control.

 

[OldFlame]

Trump was as fallible as any other human. Considering the probable human suffering and unnecessary death that could have resulted from vetoing that bill--remember EVERYBODY was operating pretty blind in those first months of the pandemic--he came down on the side of caution and compassion. There wasn't time to do much of anything else. That some would exploit or commit fraud was the lesser worry at the time and he knew Pelosi and Schumer very well. They never would have allowed the bill to be passed if it didn't contain a lot of goodies for the Democrats.

Exactly. No one gets away with not playing the game in DC, which is pathetically sad.

You're joking, right? Those have to be reauthorized by every new president. Trump reauthorized both. And even bashed Republicans who opposed them.

The money you are referring to was to hand out to people forced not to work, he would have been vilified had he not done that.

NOT if he'd have made sure that there was no way to corrupt the money. Trump and Biden sent over $10 billion in covid money to other countries. India got over $200 million.

The CDC acts under it's own jurisdiction and laws, it took the Supreme Court to knock down their orders.

The president appoints the boss of the CDC. It's a federal agency. Trump put Fauci in that position. And praised him the whole time he was president.

None of anything you listed was under Trump's control.

Wrong. You either don't understand it, or you're in denial.

Look at them now. Supporting and appeasing a KGB thug. Supporting protectionism. Opposing our allies. Whining about "The Establishment". Attacking law enforcement. Cheering his adultery.

I was part of the 2007 tea party. Trump is like those Republicans that came in and changed everything we were trying to accomplish.
