Republican Party Today, No longer true to its original formation

We have no other choice. It is not possible to simply make them vanish. Nobody ever said nation building was easy. Attitudes have to change. Mature reasoned conversations are more productive than insult contests. Lead by example. The message will seep out there and sink in. Sure, it will be resisted initially. That is to be expected. We have got to rediscover morals and respect for our fellow Americans. That is how we create a better future.

One of the biggest challenges is rebuilding respect for institutions. Reagan really hurt America with that nonsense about government being the problem. Now look what it has come to. The right wing violently attacking our own government.

We've got to turn this around.
We cant turn them around and its not up to us to turn them around. Defeat them. Again saying they are misguided is like saying Albert Speer was simply misguided. He was complicit in his own way. The ONLY thing that will turn this around is accountability. There is zero accountability in government right now.
 
If we destroy America there will be no starting over on our own. The world community would move in. We would not be left alone to build a new nation. We have to work with what we have and find a way to start from where we are and build on that.
Accountability is the only way. We tried negative peace and it failed spectacularly. We are simply going to have to defeat this movement and crush their leaders.

Agreed they need to be defeated in elections. Agreed there needs to be accountability. Disagree there is zero accountability in government. It is there.

A big part of the problem is the for-profit mainstream news. The lust for profits has driven them to appeal to the uninformed / misinformed / short attention span sector. More investigative journalism is needed. People need to be better educated on the need to spend more time absorbing information, more time spent ensuring it's accuracy. People need to learn to tell the difference between fact and opinion. Our schools are failing to deliver for our society.

It is absurd, this nonsense battle over CRT. Classic Republican misunderstanding. Getting it all wrong, and acting on incorrect assumptions, not fact. Acting out of racist hatred/fear that many of them don't even recognize in themselves!

If they want to fight racism, march with BLM, not against CRT.

If i thought the system was reliable i wouldnt be shouting, its exhausting. The last 4 years ive done much more activism than ive ever done in my life. I knew just getting trump out of power was just the beginning. Too many people are pretending that was the end.
 
Except that they didn't. All you have is a lie.

Other than Strom Thurmond, every Dixiecrat remained a Democrat until their death, including Biden who is one of the last remaining Dixiecrats still holding public office.

Strom Thurmond was the ONLY Dixiecrat ever to become a Republican. Which is why you cannot name a single Dixiecrat, other than Thurmond, who became a Republican. All you have are leftist lies as usual. Learn some actual history and get a clue.

As far as investigative journalism is concerned, crowd sourcing the funds seems to be the way to go for professionals, though many crowdsourced channels have the same problems as mainstream.

Im binge watching a channel that managed to do something the history channel never did though! A week by week breakdown of world war two done by professionals.

The mainstream media has a habit of playing whack a mole with every falsehood. Problem is when you have such big outlets going day by day gaslighting and lying the fact checkers cant keep up with it. Most mainstream sources focused their attention on Trump when he kept having those lie filled press conferences, those were just distractions and the media, even progressive media fell for it hook line and sinker.

This has been address over and over... and if you have not learn any better, there certainly is no need to go into detail to re-explain it to you.

Yes it has been addressed over and over, and yet you persist with your leftist lies. Reality is clearly a foreign concept to your ilk. Everything you spew is a lie, and the truly unfortunate part is that you believe your own lies. That says a great deal about you, and none of it good.
 
Just watch celebrity trends and you get a preview of where the Democratic Party platform is heading.

Are you saying that you see Democrats running a Reality TeeVee host for President soon?
Man, that would really be awful wouldn't it?:oops:

I will not respond further to your aims to deflect.... "so enjoy yourself" with what ever makes you feel good.

Juan Williams: GOP's Trump fever begins to cool

What if Republicans win majorities in the House and Senate in the midterm elections and take control of Congress?
Get ready for Republicans to refuse to certify the 2024 presidential election unless former President Trump wins.
The chilling prospect of that kind of extremism in service to Trump is changing the outlook for the midterms.

Voters will have a clear choice:

Door one: They can affirm American democracy.

Door two: They opt for a nation controlled by one man, in the style of Russia or China.

  • Democrats are happy to see the GOP defining itself as a party of Trump-led radicals — and one willing to do away with President Lincoln’s promise of preserving government of the people, by the people and for the people.
  • Republicans outside of Trump’s cult are not smiling. They see flashing warnings of political disaster in relying on Trump’s extremist base. Recent revelations about Trump destroying documents while his aides attempted to claim voting machines and pressure the Justice Department to overturn the election are constant reminders of his autocratic impulses.

There is political risk here for the GOP.

Even among people who voted for Trump in 2020, 55 percent said they oppose pardons for the insurrectionists, according to a Morning Consult-Politico poll this month. And 68 percent of all voters said the same.

More telling, the percentage of Republicans who are blindly loyal to Trump is declining, according to polls.

The percentage of Republican voters who say they are foremost Trump supporters as opposed to supporters of the GOP has declined from 54 percent in late 2020 to 36 percent now, according to polling by Hart Research and Public Opinion Strategies for NBC News.

  • That means a lower percentage of Republicans than before are likely to turn out for Trump-endorsed candidates willing to endorse political violence to undermine the legitimacy of elections.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fact is "People" in general don't remain hoodwinked and led by malice, lies, corruptions, dishonest and down right ant-democracy principles and anti-governmental attacks upon and from within our elected politicians, do not appreciate and they certainly don't condone any aspect of Republicanisms attack on our voting system, installing people who are installed to abuse and engage the sedition and subversion of our vote counts, and they are very disturbed at the supporters within Republican ranks who endorse and cheer the aggression and vile of Putin's invasion and disrespect of Ukraine's Sovereign Status.

The more aware and intelligent who have called themselves Republican, know that to accept what Putin has done is to accept it being done to other countries. The same people know to accept what Trump has done is to damage and continue the damages to America which Trump has done.

What American's have in the Midterms is the Choice to stand up and 'DEFEAT" Republican by such a vast landslide, no amount of voter denials and acts by Republicans can toss out their votes, and they cannot refuse to certify votes.


--------------------------------------------

What Americans must understand is:

  • Republican Conservatives work to ensure that the elite and politicians control the government and the citizen only participate as consumers rather than being informed or informed voters.

  • Democratic Liberals work to ensure the citizen participates as an informed voter and every person has a right and access to vote, and not be controlled and dictated over by Republicanism's misinformation, misdirection and manipulative games and divisiveness, that blinded by people by consumerism and price fixing inflation games as a tool of distraction within the lives to people.
 
If i thought the system was reliable i wouldnt be shouting, its exhausting. The last 4 years ive done much more activism than ive ever done in my life. I knew just getting trump out of power was just the beginning. Too many people are pretending that was the end.
Too many voters stay out of touch and only try to bone up a little to vote in each presidential election. They open themselves up to peer pressure for information. Social media is not a good place to become well informed, but that is the number one source for political information now.

Person A listens to Tucker Carlson opinion, who recants or posts to person B, who takes it as fact. That's just a ridiculous misinformation stream.
 
As far as investigative journalism is concerned, crowd sourcing the funds seems to be the way to go for professionals, though many crowdsourced channels have the same problems as mainstream.
That's all that's left since the corporate bean-counters decimated major network and newspaper news rooms all over the nation, putting thousands of journalists out of work.

Im binge watching a channel that managed to do something the history channel never did though! A week by week breakdown of world war two done by professionals.
Including the story of how it got started? That the one on Discovery+? World War II in Color?

I know. It was disgusting. I longed for a news presentation that wasn't about you-know-who. It was like you already knew who the news was going to be about before it came on each day, The only thing to be revealed was what new atrocity had been committed.

It's been so much better without that. PBS is more focused on important stories than sensationalism.

nope. This channel. Its a looooooooooooooooot more than even a documentary series :D. It covers the period inbetween the two world wars and has a better name for world war 2, the war against humanity. https://youtube.com/c/WorldWarTwo

Im sorry about my tone though.
 
MANY People, are basically "Civics' Principled Politically Illiterate" , the average working class citizen has no concern of interest in staying informed about politics and what it actually does. They simply "listen to talk show pundits, who pretend to be news".

Actual News Reporting Channels:
  • ABC Nightly News (Every Day at 6:30 EST ,
  • NBC Nightly News ( NIGHTLY 6:30/5:30c.
  • CBS Nightly News (Every Day 4:00-6:30 PM/9:00-11:30 PM)
Their time slots does not afford the time to get into a circle of "talking heads spinning opinions), These NEWS, understand what the word "N.E.W.S." was based upon, "Current Event- from: North, East, West and South

What people are watching in many of the other "Commercial Advertisement Programming that has repeated segments of "OPINIONS", it is better understood as being: "Opinion(s) of Current Events, Moderated by a Host and Round Guest as a Table Talk Shows

It saturates society, because people don't read for themselves, and social media is for those who read even less, because much of social media is based on "200 character or less, and generally, the 120-170 character format of one liner slap stick opinions. It's why Twitter and Facebook is so popular, because the models is based on "soliciting controversy" and "people who want to feel their personal lives is popular as a faux form of fame" its a profit based tool to attract people to their core business, which is "Selling Advertisement, and using the participants as a pool; to be sold to Marketing Executives as a pool of potential consumers, whom Advertising can be targeted to drawn in to make a quick sale.
  • Some people use it like a scrap book, some use it to say connected to friends only, but many use it in ways that put everything out with no filters.
  • Most people don't know in any web form, including this one, every word types can be categorized by A.I. and ran through algorithms to catalog people in any ways they want, for their business purposes which they see as the most profitable way to use the data.


Until society become more educated which may take until After 2030 forward, because many of the older people are not going to go back and learn, and many will cling to the "folklore" and "confabulation" they have lived their entire life based upon, and some of the young people did not invest in learning, and the some will go back and re-learn the truths about what they had previously been taught that was not accurate nor full scope truthful of principle facts.

One thing for sure, "We won't become a better educated society overnight" - it has taken over 200+ yrs to get us to where we are! Via technology we now have better access to research data for actual facts, without having to go into a library or go to a higher education institution in a specific field. (many people are still basically lazy in such regard and still will not invest to research and learn)
a great major of people do not watch news, do not keep up with current events of political discourse, not even on a local level, and many are oblivious to what takes place within the Federal Level of Political Processes and its Productions.

What we see is people who are consumed with fears, and when groups of people are fed fear, they form "cults" and become "tribal". The Republican Party is an example, and it has many cults camps under its banner, Right Wing Libertarians, Right Wing Independents, Anti Government Types, Anti-Democracy Types, Segregationist White Supremacist, and Wealthy White Nationalist and these types will support "Autocracy" because its like a group of "Serf's" whom some do so grudgingly like being under the umbrella of their Serf Master.

At some point and some turn of events within American Society, people will be forced by conditions and disparity of sorts to "pay attention, to political matters" and to face Truths they have tried to Avoid and Truths they tried to Deny. ".

I know plenty of people who don't read up on political items, and many don't watch even the ABC, CBS, NBC Nightly News, and some don't watch their own Local News.

When it comes to reading many simply don't or won't do so. a great majority people are simply do not have a habit or writing and some don't have a concern or interest in writing. Even when may address their Local or Regional Politicians, they want to do it "verbally" or verbally over the phone, and they wonder why nothing every comes of it. Never realizing that there may be many others who are voicing things verbally, so its get lost in the noise of voluminous conversation's.
Writing Politician's takes work.

In general daily interactivity people don't discuss politics very much, other than "slinging out a pun, or slap stick joke, or such", because they know they don't have much researched reference material to back up or support further in-depth discussions.

Even when it Election Time... people don't change their manner regarding political awareness. They go with the loudest mouth that promotes the most attacks, with claims of being a fix it all Guru, or the one that buys the most advertising slots, or put out the most signs in the community.

People don't understand the politician who has a manageable and beneficial agenda, because he is not screaming and incessant promoting attack ads.

People like "The Drama of the Pugilistic Attacks", politicians know this is the game that attracts the most "politically illiterates", so the Power Hungry pay to promote that type of "Pugilistic Drama"....

What we suffer from most is a generalized "Illiterate Society, who does, not know Civics, History and Do Not Understand, how Representative Governance is designed and how it is by script of Constitutional Law to be facilitated. The Elephant in the Room that promotes that Illiteracy, is the systemic historical bastardizations interjected into our social ideology of racism, and how racism bastardized the processes of Legislative Process and Convoluted the Justice System to facilitate means to back the bastardizations of Legislative Function.
  • Now, (Some) white people are still fighting against that truth being put forefront to the general public
 
If we destroy America there will be no starting over on our own. The world community would move in. We would not be left alone to build a new nation. We have to work with what we have and find a way to start from where we are and build on that.

The right goes berserk hard right, expecting the dems to compromise and slide right in an effort to maintain normalcy.

This is a losing strategy.

**** 'em right in their ear holes. If they want to play rough, we play rough. No more compromise, no more accommodation. They get nothing.

Ill considered impulsive reactions are not the best strategy. That is no solution. It is a very difficult situation. There has to be a better way out of this. We must try to bring the nation back together. A seemingly impossible task, yes, but that has to be the answer.

That's not an insult by any means, but it doesn't end well.

This whole convoluted mess is simply: A Segment (Republicanism Cult Mentality) of (SOME) white people fighting against truth and equality of person as individual being put forefront and fighting against respecting the multiracial and multiethnic realism of American Democracy's Principles and Values, that support the entire general public of American Society.

Right Wing Bigots and Right Wing Racist should learn and accept the fact, that American People Prosper by and through the Prospering of ALL American Prosper.
Trying to Damage American Representative Democracy, Will Not give Right Wing Bigots and Right Wing Racist control over America.

  • They Will Not recreate Jim Crow Segregation in America.
  • They Will Not recreate the Autocratic System of the past against Black, Brown and Other Non White People.
  • They should STOP the Barbaric and Savage Agenda of trying to recreate the past.
  • These segments of white people ARE NOT any role model that America will emulate, and they need to get that delusion out of their minds.
  • These segments of white people ARE NOT going to convert Liberal white people to adopt Right Wing Racism,
  • They Will Not make Liberal white people submit to racism and segregationist habits of Right Winger white people.
  • Much of American Liberal Multiracial respecting white people have long ago moved on from being freightened by Right Wing Racist and the acts of attacks that Right Wing Race once engaged upon and against Liberal white people Will Not be accepted by Liberal white people.
Each Day, more and more intellegent white people who had been suckerplayed into complacency and backing right wing racism through the fictional delusion of claiming fiscal conservatism, will move away from these racist white people.
They are learning 'there has never been "fiscal conservatism", it was nothing more than a "phrase which meant, try to block and deny funding and resources from helping black, brown and other non whites, and using poor whites depravations as collateral damage, with a delusion that their white skin is more important than benefitting from the tax resources they invested in this nation.
Poor White are learning more and more everyday of the fact "Fiscal Conservatism", was nothing more than how tax money is funneled to the wealthy, tax cuts given to the wealthy, at the expense of poor whites and minorities.
