On the contrary, "Trumpist" and "cultists" are most certainly designed to hold the one being so labelled up for derision and thus are worthless in a debate. It merely puts the label writer in the unenviable position of having the weaker argument. "Homophobe" is tossed around when someone merely remarks that he/she believes there is something sacred and special about a marriage bond between a man and a woman. It matters not that they have no objection to society deeming other relationships to be worthy of respect or that they treat all people with equal respect, they are labelled, some so far as to have the company they own be targeted for destruction, all over a nonsense label. Same for racist. To merely note, for example, that most violent crime is committed by young black males is enough to invoke the label. No, these are all labels wrongly used to the point of being meaningless. I do not use such labels, as they indicate the user has already lost the argument and is resorting to childish insults to hide their vacuity.
He just won. He's in til '26!
Ben Sasse is a typical super pussified, nutless old school Republican who refuses to play the right game to win. He's stuck 25 years back, insulated on an island in Nebraska and afraid to acknowledge that the ways of Loon York and Mexifornia are closing in fast on his utopian island.
He and pussies like him are why the Left has gained so much ground over the last two decades.
**** HIM!
Hahaha, he refused to play the right game to win?! Which game is that? The one that Trump played which turned a Republican super majority into a democratic super majority in only 4 years?!
You can thank China, the Scamdemic / Democrat Virus for that.
Trump had little to do with it.
Your Party of Filth can't win without anomalies and tens of millions of trespassing wetbacks...if you weren't shameless as **** you'd be ashamed of yourself and you know it.
A skilled leader would have excelled in popularity and support during a pandemic. You're right, the Virus wasn't Trumps fault but his mishandling of it was. Wartime presidents don't often get voted out as they can use the conflict as a rally to unit the country and garner support. Trump took the opposite approach. Lied to the public, pretended that things were peachy when they weren't, deflected responsibility, and then flat out ignored it. Thats why he lost. Mind you he lost the House before the pandemic and then the Senate and Executive followed. Trumpism was rejected... Bigly
Donald took "no responsibility at all" for literally ANYTHING. The buck stopped somewhere else. You know, Democrat States, Democrat Governors, and well .. Baby-eating, Devil-worshipping lib-rul pedophiles. #Q
Anyone aware of the GOP's ability to so deftly manipulate their right-wing base from political event to national crisis to international incident and back over the past five decades, must also be surprised at how quickly Republican strategists failed so completely to counter the con man trump's theft of their rank-and-file voters.
The lies, misrepresentation, misinformation, baseless allegations, lies of omission, and more, these were, and are the tools of the political trade for the Republican Party. So, why did the Republican leaders misread the minds of the voters they spent fifty years brainwashing?
How the 74 million RWNJs, so famous for consistently electing candidates that legislated against their constituents' best interests, were so easily and quickly turned into a cult with the sole purpose of making their cult leader the authoritarian dictator of the United States, is the question now plaguing GOP leaders.

On one hand, no one saw this coming. On the other hand, it was hiding in plain sight.
Until Trump showed up, no national Republican politicians had a firm grasp of the anger, frustration and paranoia that animated the party's base. Trump knew right where they were - listening to talk radio, just WAITING for someone to come along and speak directly to them. Just SITTING there, waiting. But Republican politicians were talking over their heads.
So his strategy as simple. He spoke at their/his level, he hit all the issues, he used all the right terms and phrases. And he had two more things working for them: His "celebrity", and his childish temperament and behaviors, which they interpreted as being anti-PC, one of their hottest buttons. He ran a con. He found his marks and then ingratiated himself with them.
Most amazingly to me, he never stopped speaking to them, and them alone. If he were not so clownish and incompetent, he might have pulled off the same con twice.
Until trump came along, no national Republican wanted to tap into that level of lunacy and paranoia and release it on the nation. Just look at what these 74 million trump Nazis are capable of doing and defending, the widespread planning of the insurrection, the financing made available by GOP donors, the willingness and preparation for lynching elected officials of both parties, and the violence and deaths of an attempted coup.
Add to this the cooperation they received from Republican legislators, and those same legislators' refusal to convict the wannabe führer, regardless of the seriousness of the evidence presented.
The trump Nazis, including those in Congress, have proven themselves to be traitors and/or the defenders of traitors.
Yeah, the years and years of building anger and frustration and paranoia really manifested in something ugly, and the GOP politicians just didn't go there. If you're saying the politicians knew it was there but avoided it, I guess that's possible too.
But holy crap, Trump certainly drew it out. He was the match that lit the flame. These people have literally become radicalized, just waiting for the right spark. I didn't see it all this time and it's been a shock. They aren't who I thought they were.
The past four years were a shock to anyone with a brain. I knew it would be a Mr Toad's Wild Ride but thought he might grow into the job. Obviously not. Even Lindsey Graham warned us, and then - (***** that he is) - threw on his kneepads and went straight down the drain.
Trump is a distant memory but you keep bringing him up. Weirdo.
They are the most qualified to opine
Distant memory?! There is an impeachment trial happening next week?! You need to formulate better arguments
Nothing but NAZI talking points.
Yep - FACT: Ben Sasse is a real conservative. Trump supporters aren't.
They've (Evangelicals in particular) abandoned their faith and jointed a cult.
Ben Sasse is a establishment republican.
Often Trump supporters are not fond of establishment republicans as it is difficult to tell the difference between them and establishment democrats. Much depends on who donated enough money to buy them out. We may elect them but they don’t always represent us.
Now Trump is not really a republican but he is interested in helping the citizens of our nation out. Trump puts our nation first. Establishment republicans are often globalists. Trump is definitely not a globalist. That’s why he was elected.
Some people in our nation love it and are damn proud of it. They want to see our nation continue to be the top nation in the world. Such people support Trump not establishment republicans or establishment democrats.

Trump does not care about this country. Trump played to the fears of Americans and told them exactly what they wanted to hear. For example, coal is dying in the US because Americans do not want to live near coal plants. That is why Trump failed to turn the coal industry around. There are a lot of Americans who have jobs thank to free trade. Trump dragged us to the bottom as he encouraged the rise of right wing fascists who stormed our capital in a attempted coup.
Projection
Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person.
The concept emerged from Sigmund Freud’s work on defense mechanisms and was further refined by his daughter, Anna Freud, and other prominent figures in psychology.

He is a distant memory to most but the Democrats won’t let it go. You need to get your head out of the sand. If the Democrats stopped talking about him no one would bring him up. Jeezuz
He will forever live in your empty head. Weak sauce.
Where did I say that weirdo? Oh yes - I didn't. Trump will be a distant memory in a year or two when he goes to Club Fed.
Didn’t the House Minority leader just fly down to Maralago and release a photo of him meeting with Trump. Didn’t a congresswoman give a presser yesterday and proclaim that the GOP is the party of Trump? You’re argument is failing miserably when held to the facts
No idea. He lost the election and cannot do anything for another four years. That’s a lifetime. Just move on. The more you bring him up the more his presence is felt. How you a mostly logical person doesn’t see that is mind boggling. I disagree with you when it comes to politics on most issues but usually you’re somewhat logical. Having a bad day?
Haha, yeah I’m crabby. I started to research what this Q business is all about and got sucked into the Rabbit hole and saw how unbelievably crazy and disgusting these narratives are. They make Scientologists look sane. And then to see a congress woman, a national security advisor and our president coddle this stuff it is pretty infuriating. I’m sick of the lies and the garbage and would rather talk about policy but I don’t think we can get there until these people and these narratives get called out by a strong majority of people from all parties

Just let it go. Trump can’t do shit for four years. He ll be 78? Four years is a lifetime. Hell my kids will be in HS then!! We need to garner a road map to open up our country and get our kids back to school. Instead of focusing on this the Democrats are focusing on impeachment of a person who lost by seven million votes. That is ******* insanity. Biden has the House and the Senate. Make some changes and let’s get back on our feet. Forget this dirty partisan politics but that doesn’t sell viewers so the News Entertainment media gaslights both sides. It is most unfortunate and morons like the OP play right into it.

Your example of coal is a good one.
Coal is a huge portion of our energy even still and employs tens of thousand of workers, directly and is important for large numbers of communities.
Trump speaking out for those people, whom Hillary was actively working AGAINST, and Biden will be too,
was completely legitimate and completely normal and healthy politics.
That you people pretend it is not, and manage to convince large percentages of the population that is was not, is a sign of how UNhealthy our culture is.
The rest of your post is mostly partisan shit.
Biden has been focused on that and hasn’t said much of anything about Trump. But if you think Trump is irrelevant then just wait a couple weeks. He is laying low because of impeachment and once that is over he is going to hit the propaganda media stations hard and all these narratives I’m calling out as BS are going to jump to the forefront again. I was hoping for a censure as I didn’t think impeachment would pass but either way there needs to be punishment for his actions and he shouldn’t be enabled and incentivized to carry on with his lies. I don’t think your suggestion of ignoring it is going to make it fizzle out.republicans need to stand up against it and so far very few are
