its the same mentality that's happened to all those who fell for Hitlers crimes. the level of propaganda and rhetoric is stunning, and no one simply wants to talk policy or look at the facts on the ground. its culture wars that's taken over for common dialogue. Every single republican in my family that I have had a small conversation with, has no clue how the govt works, or what legislation their party wants to get passed, all they talk about is the drama and lies they see about the border, the cost of gas, and how much it costs to buy food...they literally are clueless.

I'm kinda disturbed that both Kinzinger and Colbert keep referring to Donald Trump as "the president" not "the former president"...

@bwofficial1776 Ай бұрын

It's no different than talking about President Obama or President Carter.

@NickCBax Ай бұрын

@@bwofficial1776sortta fair. Tbh “the president” should solely refer to the person currently in the office. There was an argument put forth by some of the founding fathers that once a politician is out of office they should only be referred to by there name, no honorifics.

Well, Vance’s Never-Trumper views lasted all of five seconds. He is now Trump’s vice-presidential pick and will continue the MAGA doctrine after you-know-who is long gone. The GOP as America once knew it is dead and buried. As a lifelong Democrat, I’m terrified.

I get where they are coming from about the fact that it’s so crazy to think we pick our friends based on politics. But i also think never before have both sides been so mask off. The MAGA republicans are extremists who make said politics their whole personality. So by finding out someone is a MAGA conservative, you know what type of person they are and what they support. So it’s hard to want to be friends with people who so clearly want a world where white Christian nationalism is the norm. I want friends in my support network to value things beyond Trump. lol and I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
