Should Repubs get a pass on introspection because trump won?

[Lesh]

That's it. go with "the people are too stupid to realize how awesome we are" as a talking point.

How has massive illegal immigration been "addressed"?

That's YOUR phrasing not mine

People are subject to propaganda. Republicans are good at propaganda

 

[Lesh]

From the appointments so far, I can plainly see that the idea is "burn this muthafucker to the ground"....One that I've been behind since the 1990s.

That SHOULD scare the crap out of people

"Burn the village to save it" was never a popular idea

 

[martybegan]

That's YOUR phrasing not mine

That's your implication, once again showing the weasel words and phrases of the left.

You simply can't be honest about your positions, or how people perceive them.

Who said anything about saving it?

 

[M14 Shooter]

It's the rhetoric that won the election

What rhetoric convinced 10,000,000 Democrats who voted for Biden to not vote for Harris?

All of it

Repubs are your daddy. For the next 12 years at least.

 

[Arlette]

Lie to yourself some more.

The GOP has no interest in advancing working class people. The GOP put Gorush on the SC. Take a look at the Janus case if you don't believe me

 

[M14 Shooter]

All of it

Interesting
Specifically, what "Republican propaganda", and why are Biden supporters so susceptible to it that 10,000,000 of them -- 1 in 8 - decide to not vote for Harris?

Trump and collection of rejects will have two years to show what they can do.

I doubt they'll do much good but the metrics will tell

I don't ask because I think Dem's should avoid some of their own. Self flagellation is kind of their thing after a losing election cycle and it's happening right now. IMO, Dems should take some of Bill Maher's advice which many of you are likely familiar with. For instance.......is there evidence drag queen shows are harmful to kids? No. Is it good politics to advocate for them? No. Dems need to wake up to the reality that Repubs are very good at exploiting, and lying about, social wedge issues. Wise up and don't make it easy for them. (social wedge issues played a very minor role in this election which was all about inflation)

But nominating trump for a third time and then electing him after what we know from the last 8 years of vitriol, incompetence, and lies, especially after Jan. 6, is inexcusable. It's on Repubs, not Dems. He should not have gotten within a million miles of being on a presidential ballot. Or any ballot for elected office. A fact that's already becoming abundantly clear as he careens towards authoritarian governance by trying to sideline Congress so his farcical cabinet picks can avoid scrutiny. Dashing any hope the warnings from the Left were not spot on. We told you so. You didn't listen. Reflect on that.

You self-flagellate, I'm celebrating.

The propaganda that ...gas prices were high . they're not

That inflation is high. it's not

That crime is up. it's down

That illegal immigration is a major problem for individual voter.s it;s not

That we're in a Recession. We're not

 

[hadit]

The taxes the ultra rich don't pay lower revenue for the government, money that can't be allocated for other projects.

The top taxpayers in the nation already pay about half of their income in total taxes.

1. What percentage do you think they should be paying? Do you have a number or is it just more, more, more?
2. Have you don't the math, knowing that you're already getting half of their income, to know how much more you would get at your percent? Or is this just a, "They're rich and we can fund everything we want to if we just take it all from them"?
3. Have you considered that the wealthy are not stupid and will not sit still to allow you or anyone else to just take more and will just move it so it's out of your reach?
4. And lastly, do you understand the difference between wealth and income?

And then...
Why did 1 in 8 Biden supporters buy into this - to the point where they would not vote for Harris?

And banning new ICE vehicles sales after 2035, massive illegal immigration, and bloated government spending help the middle class how?

Please please please keep thinking like this.

That, and that women can have penises.

None of the things that you believe about President Trump are actually true.

Normal people, not you of course, saw and understood the distortion of facts.

 

[hadit]

Your filter seems to be defective. Why focus on the obviously distorted reporting of Trump's actions and words over the past ten years, when we have witnessed over the last eight a campaign of slander, harassment, obstruction, and persecution of Donald Trump that has been (and will continue to be) unprecedented in human history?

It is as though a neighborhood kid is being beaten mercilessly for an entire day, and you are criticizing him for complaining about it.

You Leftist jag-offs constantly rail about your general feeling that Trump is "bad," but when it comes down to specifics, your accusations are either false or...hate to say it...stupid.

And this is the bottom line. Had the democrats not gone berserk in their desperate attempts to keep TRUMP! out of office, they might be looking at President Harris today. As it is, the average voter can look at the TRUMP! situation and think, "Why are these guys so hellbent on trying to make me hate this guy? Felony convictions on a loan that was repaid in full and on time, with no crime victims? That's ridiculous.".

Not that it matters but I believe that bergy has anyone that disagrees with it on ignore.

It needs a safe space to exist.

Arlette, I see you disagree with what I posted, but I see no attempts to answer the questions. Care to try?
