The Problem for Republicans Isn’t Unity, It’s Reality

[BertramN]

Republicans like Cheney and McCarthy want to turn the clock back to 2016, proposing more of the usual Republican platitudes that offer nothing to actual Republican voters. Republican voters are not the bankers and Fortune 500 executives of a generation ago. Those corporate interests have long been absorbed into the permanent governing establishment, benefitting from relationships with government entities and often protected by favorable legislation and regulations. These corporate interests have realized that the government establishment is essentially the Democrat establishment, and they have slowly been absorbed into the Democrat party. Even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports many Democrats now, something unheard of only a few years ago.

But Republican voters supported President Trump because of his policy goals and successes. They will no longer be taken in by vague promises of “increasing economic opportunity.” Having seen that policy victories and real change are possible, accompanied by unprecedented growth and prosperity, they will no longer settle for anything else. The veil has been pulled back on the Republican establishment. Collecting scraps from the Democrat establishment’s table is no longer enough. Reality has entered the room, and there is no going back to the way it used to be. Thank you for that, President Trump.

Cheney and McCarthy need to understand that American citizens -- almost entirely unarmed -- didn’t enter the Capitol on January 6 because they were incited by what President Trump said. They entered because they had finally had enough of the actions -- and inaction in the face of plausible voter fraud allegations -- of the governing class. They no longer respect the politicians working there, who pursue their own interests rather than the people’s interests. They no longer trust that the inhabitants of the Capitol -- Republicans included -- are working to improve their lives and preserve our republic. That explains the Animal House-like shenanigans engaged in by the protesters. And a large number of Republicans who watched those events share those feelings.

The events of January 6 should have been a reality check for the Republican establishment. But judging by their actions on Cheney, it wasn’t. If only Cheney, Bush, McCarthy and the rest of the Republican establishment could get as outraged over President Biden’s destructive executive orders as they do about President Trump and his millions of supporters, they might actually fight for some real policy wins for Republican voters.

Those of us who supported President Trump, are now on our own. We obstensively have NO representation among the DC leadership, and as such will have to keep the pressure on those who are supposed to be there to represent us....Those who are Democrat lite, or straight up liars about their ideology need to be primaried, and voted out!

If we have the time to do such before the Socialist take over is complete....

You had no representation when Trump was in office. You don’t really think he gave a Shiitt about his supporters do you ? He thought they were losers.

Your attempting to explain to cultists that their beloved cult leader lied to them every time he told them he loved them, is the same as everyone that warned Marla Maples that the new love of her life, the a$$hole trump, would cheat on her at the first chance. She just couldn't believe him capable of such betrayal.


If the Jews really have a laser in space capable of creating wildfires on the Earth's surface, Nazis, anti-Semitic white supremacists, and many Muslims are in grave danger.

We know Joe sure doesn’t give a shit about you, that’s for sure.

No ones cares anymore what y'all do. Go crazy!

Be careful....I’m sure some said that right before an American patriot walked into an El Paso Walmart and served up some vigilante justice.

Hope you’re not championing violence. No place for that here. Not such thing as a “patriot“ who decides the fate of another human being on his own.

I think conservatives need to stop focusing on Trump, the man is in his mid 70s and I don't believe he is electable even if he does run in 2024. We better be looking further ahead than that, and also looking for other, younger candidates. Fuck national unity, that ain't going to happen unless and until we have a national calamity that approaches the great depression of the 1930s or something like 9/11 or WWIII. Right now the GOP is only slightly more fiscally responsible than the dems are, and that's a really low bar considering the nonsense they want to do. Repubs are taking this country pretty much in the same direction that the democrats are, just not as fast. We need to get our shit together, cuz if we don't this country is gonna go to hell and take our kid and their kids with it.

If we had a national calamity like the depression we would not unify. We would be at each other's throats. We are not a unified country. We do not even respect the same flag or the same anthem.

That’s because one side doesn’t believe in science, a key to our very existance nor does it believe in equality.
