Lies and half truths. Since I live in flori-duh I'm almost at the point of overdosing on DeSantis and his cruel antics, so it got me wondering?

What is it about people like DeSantis, Abbott and Trump that makes people want to vote for them? Is this the best the gop has to offer, angry white men full of lies and half truths who have mastered the art of cruelty? Any stunt to 'own the libs' is acceptable even if it stops commerce from crossing the border. This is the gop's idea of 'governing', showing everyone just how much they hate the dems. We'll clog the streets with trucks and call it patriotism, but if the dems block an intersection during a protest, run the bastards over.

So my fellow americans, which side do you fall on? The side where cruelty of others is a good thing because all we have is hatred of the dreaded libs, or the side that says, we see a better america for our future?
 
A better future, definitely. Never give up hope. Keep hope alive - Always!

It's an outlet for their innate cruelty.

I am to the point where I am looking at the big picture.

Republicans were gleeful about a 'red wave' in November and then a few things happened to change the picture. The Roe decision, inflation backed off, and Trump inserted himself into the news cycle again with his cries of victimhood about the FBI having to search his home for stuff he never should have taken and should have given back.

That flipped the whole election cycle energy.

Suddenly, independents are moving away from Trump and Republicans. Democrats are polling higher. Biden rose to 45% approval.

Republicans are desperate to turn that around, so we see some manufactured news in the form of immigration stunts. Republicans are trying to control the news cycle and make it more about immigrants than Roe or Trump.

I see all of this and realize it is a loser to even talk about immigration.

I am no longer even posting in any immigration threads.

I think the wise strategy here is to stay on Roe and Trump.

If you agree, please do the same.

Don't even touch the immigration threads. Focus instead on Roe, January 6th, Trump's legal troubles. That is where we want to keep the attention.

There is a conspiracy trial coming up for Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers leader. That should prove to be a very interesting subject of discussion.

I agree. Since they are so good at being victims who have been left behind in their america any opportunity to lash out at others who do not think like them is an opportunity to show their anger too.

The cruelty and hatred stems from liberals....for they can only have things their way.....far, far more left wing violence in America. Policies from the left have caused a great uptick in crime across the country....open borders is more proof in their support of lawlessness. The "Summer of Love" showed all Americans the true side to liberalism, and it's not good.

Sounds like you need to move to NY, Chicago, or Ca......you'll fit in much better.

Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo.

I don't need to move at all but I am going to visit california in a couple of weeks. Open borders, good one.

Don't blame you.....far better to live in Florida than Ca.....much, much lower taxes and regulations.
 
They feed the anger and hate which seems to me the most common feature of their voters.
yes . Right wingers are nothing but a bunch of racist angry whities. GRRRRRRR

Well, no. Many or even most of them are. As I mentioned, anger and hatred are the most common traits of a Trumper.

But a few -- the elite who manage the mob -- are smart guys with no moral grounding.

Fear. They are on the side of fear. Trump, Desantis, and Abbot create villains, stoke fear, and then pretend to be saviors.

Sorry, but I am the most unbiased person I've ever met, and I can report that most Trumpers are driven by anger and hatred. I've actually done a study.

Only the radical leftwingers suffer that kind of anger, but it's common among the Trump crowd.

It goes beyond “owning the libs”. These tend to be people who view the opposition party as the enemy. It’s the epitome of tribalism.

nope. It's liberals. Angry people.

Simple. They justify their failed lives. It's the Mexicans fault, it's the liberals fault. It's the drug dealers fault.

Yes, it is this absolution from their own sins they are desperate for and these anti-Christs are all to happy to give that to them as they send them to hell.

I think it's the years of 24/7 hate Democrats propaganda, combined with people liking especially strident 'leaders' who promise to be 'strong' against the enemy; as well as the financial support of the plutocrats.
 
You don't even know what a liberal is, I'm pretty sure.

I suspect it's anyone who talks back to you in political debate, yes?
"You can always tell a liberal. But you can't tell them much"-Klattu
Man does that fit a pompous, know it all like you to a tee.

See what I mean? All your enemies are liberals.

Straight out of the commie playbook. So sad.

Because they are honest men with common sense who constantly are able to show the Country what absolute liars and schemers democrats are in addition to the dems scare tactics -- belief in apocalypticism if fossil fuels are not totally eliminated ASAP. Oh... OK.

Nothing says the latter better than Biden screaming "The world is going to blow up..." [if we don't reduce the temperature of the Earth immediately]. Well, good luck with that one. I'm sure that Biden will come up with some great idea like packing the Earth in ice. :0

And of course, all 3 men have absolute disdain for pedophiles, as do all parents and Republicans), who want to start teaching sex-ed to 5-6 year olds. Democrats are pushing the idea all over the US. Parents in one New Jersey school district fought back and rejected the insidious curriculum -


Other NJ school districts have too -

NJ Gov Murphy vows retaliation. Let's see how well that goes for him considering he almost lost his reelection bid and only won by a slim margin vs. the expected landslide.


Parents are up in arms and who the hell can blame them? Local Jewish communities have built several schools on their own and now are suing/plan to sue to have the school portion of their property taxes diverted to the new schools. Sounds like a great idea for parents everywhere who are sick and tired of the state telling them what 'WOKE SHIT' their children need to learn. The hell with the stupid ass 'woke' movement. Sell your BS elsewhere like Antarctica. Leave law abiding Americans the hell alone.

'Woke' in all likelihood will turn out to be just as bad as "the new math" that the national school board has finally said did not work as planned.

Republicans rail against all sorts of emotion-laden stuff just because Pub voters are so easily manipulated, but....

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...tenced-15-years-child-sex-trafficking-n910516

OKLAHOMA CITY — A former Republican state senator in Oklahoma was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison Monday on a child sex trafficking charge.

A police report indicated a search of the teen's tablet computer uncovered a series of sexually explicit exchanges in which Shortey referred to the teen as "baby boy" and offered him cash in exchange for "sexual stuff."

The FBI also found that Shortey had previously used fake names to send and receive child pornography and to go on Craigslist to seek casual encounters with males, the "younger the better."


Google something like "republican charged pedophilia". See what you get.

Angry barely educated men who can't get laid.

What could possibly go wrong?
