Why Republicans Lose All the Time14 May 2023 ~~ By Derek Hunter
Why Republicans Lose All the Time
townhall.com
You can have all the facts on your side and still lose an argument. How? Because the other side is not bound by facts, theyāre arguing emotion, and emotion always overrides facts. It sounds stupid, it is stupid, but itās also true. Think about the things youāve apologized for in your life ā Iād give you odds it was for things you said in the heat of the moment, not after thinking about the situation in a cool, rational way. That emotion factor is a big part of why Republicans always seem to get rolled when it comes to policy debates, but itās not the only reason.
When your opponent isnāt bound by any sense of decency or reality, defeating them in debate is like boxing a cloud. Thatās what Democrats are ā a cloud ā big and empty. But all too often Republicans feed them, arm them, seemingly do things someone interested in winning would never do simply because they want to be liked.
Congressman James Comer, who this week laid out a damning case of corruption and influence peddling against the entire Biden family, for reasons unknown, decided to toss in a āthis is a bipartisan problemā at the end of his presentation. He threw in, āIt is not ethical. And this is why we need legislative solutions. Our purpose here is to provide legislative solutions to prevent this unethical behavior from ever happening again.ā
No, the purpose should be to weed out the corrupt and, whenever possible, remove them from office and prosecute them. More laws wonāt prevent people inclined to break laws from breaking laws, only consequences will. Has Chairman Comer not been paying attention to cities with progressive prosecutors?
When you change the focus of an investigation from exposing the corruption of certain people to āeveryone does it, so we have to make it harder to do it in the futureā you lose your audience, and Republicans already have a hard enough time gathering an audience.
Otherwise unemployed and unemployable members of the Biden family were paid millions upon millions of dollars by foreign entities (companies and governments) for reasons no one has even bothered to try to explain, that should be Comerās only focus for every word that comes out of his mouth. All three nightly newscasts, which reach more than 20 million people collectively, did not mention the story at all. Neither did the Washington Post. The New York Times, amazingly, looked at a situation where at least 20 different shell companies were set up to hide those payments and headlined their story, āHouse Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden.ā
It shouldnāt have been, but it was a little unbelievable, even for the Times. What they think people who run no company that provides any good or service to anyone could do for foreign nationals that is worth $10 million is a question that remains not only unanswered, but also unasked. Thatās a problem for Republicans.

Someone has to inform the public of what Democrats are doing, be it at the border, in corruption, in health care, in advocating for the mutilation and sterilization of kids, and it sure as hell isnāt going to be their cheerleaders in journalism. It falls to Republicans, or conservatives (to be more specific). Unless losing is the plan. Because that seems to be what theyāre all working toward right now.
Commentary:
The idea that Democrats are driven by emotion is totally erroneous and gives them much more credit than they deserve. They arenāt driven by āconcernā, or ācaringā, or a deeper love for and compassion for people or the planet.
Most of them are driven by other things, like resentment and a desire to āstick it toā people and groups they dislike, and their delusions of having superior world views and knowledge. These are not the kind of people who have tears in their eyes frequently because they are hurting for others. These are the kind of people who have no problem dismissing and invalidating the existence of those they have disdain for. I give them zero credit for being empathetic emotional people.
So, who is going to run these ads on Maoist Democrat corruption, the Quisling MSM?
What we have going for us right now is less, and less people are even watching the MSM, MOST people are getting their information from the internet!! I am not so worried about ads being put out, I am VERY WORRIED about our election systems being corrupted and NOTHING being done about it by our side!! Our side of the isle have their heads in the sand, there is NO REASON in hell why it should take 2-3 weeks for our votes to be counted especially since voting goes on for a damn month in advance!! If voting goes on for a damn month the votes NEED to be counted immediately and registered immediately, PERIOD!!
Republicans lose because of two reasons.
1) They conflate belief with evidence.
From their Big Lie, to Comer's 'judgment day', to Trump's failure in court again and again, conservatives cite belief as evidence.
Trump's lawyer Sidney Powell cited an Email from a woman as proof of Dominion Voting cheating Trump. Yet the woman herself cited her 'special dreams' as the basis of her claims against Dominion.
This kind of shit happens all the time. And whenever conservatives lose, they insist their failure is a sign of corruption. But never their own terrible arguments and nonsensical pseudo-legal gibberish.
2) They're actively hostile to competency and experience.
Conservatives are so convinced of the 'deep state' and 'swamp, that they want 'outsiders' with no relevant experience. They favor loyalty over competency.
Take Kari Lake......a newscaster. That's literally it. She hadn't so much as headed a PTA, let alone any relevant experience. She'd never run a business, never acted as an executive or worked in the executive branch of any government, never managed anything, never worked in government in any capacity, never been a legislator, served in the military, nothing
Just....a newscaster, out of college until she ran for governor. But she spouted the right conspiracies and was an outsider. Which made her 'pure' and the ideal conservative candidate.
What the fuck did y'all think was going to happen?
