To clarify, you mean 'oh just fill out this vetting form that will totally get us the people we need' or something else?

Yeah, the vetting forum means only psychotic true believers will get on the program. When trump tried his dumb rear end purges near the end last time. The system told these people to go gently caress themselves and isolated them.

Not even. The Bush/McCain/Romney Republican Party is dead. Their only chance at winning anymore is Trump. It’s 100% cult of personality, after him there is no successor.

There’s a chunk of voters who used to vote Republican who don’t anymore after Trump. There’s a chunk of voters that only vote when Trump is on the ballot.

When Trump’s on the ballot, they get 2020. When Trump’s not on the ballot, they get 2022 and 2023. It’s a real no-win situation, made worse by the fact that they offer nothing to young people (now meaning, like, under 40), so every year it gets worse and worse as more Boomers and older die off.

Their only strat now is getting non-Republican voters to stay home or vote third party. That’s why there’s this effort to convince everyone that Biden is just as corrupt and self-dealing as Trump, and why there’s more third party candidates running than ever (RFK, Green, plus No Labels). It’s an all-out smash and grab at this point. It sucks that Biden has real vulnerabilities, too (age, I/P, inflation (prices will not go down even though inflation has slowed down)).

Yeah, Haley is the last stand for that wing. I think a bunch were hoping for desantis but him being a dumbass charisma vacuum AND a weird morality police bigot kinda hosed him. Haley is already doomed because she is giving a bunch of awful answers to questions for moderates.

There’s a clear break in conservative media between pre-Trump and post-Trump. Pre-Trump they lied about stuff but tried to make it kind of plausible, and had some unverifiable sources and based stuff on some facts (with serious omissions).

Then Trump came along and was like “nah you don’t even gotta make this poo poo kinda make sense, these morons won’t look into any of it” and now they all tell lies that are frivolously easily to debunk and half the country still just takes them at their word, and will fly into a frothing rage at any challenge to their world view.

My dumbass republican step dad was talking about the FLOOD OF IMMIGRANTS under Biden and the first result I found to send him was the goddamn Cato institute saying we're so far under the 10-year federal immigration projection that it's negatively impacting the labor market - we desperately need bodies in the US, people of all skill level to come and work. Big business Republicans know we need cheap blood for the blood machines.

You’ve gotta remember that the large majority of these people are cultists who are gonna say whatever the current claim or excuse is

They aren’t going to get all spun up about Biden drone striking people in the US because of a question a pollster is going to ask. If they are gonna start worrying about a Biden drone strike, it’ll be because Trump started saying something about Biden drone striking real true patriots.

I wasn’t arguing they are in on a joke, I was arguing that they will skip from one set of talking points (Trump had total immunity as president) to the next (Biden has no authority to order drone strikes because stollen rigged erection) without stopping to think about any flaws in their argument

It’s why all the Jordan klepper videos have never done a single thing to convince a trumpy maga chud to change their minds. They don’t internalize conflicts in their logic chain

yeah. chuds are dumb as hell. that max january 6th documentary showed how loving dumb they were. they didnt know what "object" was and a decent amount thought trumps message at the end was faked. i think alot of them are dupes and a bunch are dupes who want to be duped.

The us succeeded at a stress test when Barry Goldwater lost the election, and succeeded at a stress test when Trump did not do a coup on Jan 6

There have been many failed stress tests but it is nice to see some had failed

In my genuin heart of hearts, I think trumps big shot was january 6th and when he lost that and the other poo poo. he was done. the chuds will bend the knee to him until the end but he has lost alot of folks who would have grudginly voted for him had he not been a moron and a gently caress up.

Trump didn't commit any crimes because everything he does is perfect.

But he still needs immunity.

Because he's being prosecuted by the partisan DoJ!

Which is exactly what should happen to Biden.

And if Trump doesn't get immunity, Biden won't either.

But Biden's crimes are real, and he deserves to be prosecuted.

But he should have immunity.

Seriously never seen a bigger batch of wusses than the current GOP congressional lineup. They're being bullied by an idiot failed steak salesman that hosed up his shot at the presidency so bad that it made Georgia go for the dems and he ended up with 90-something criminal indictments and a new corruption story every day. Trump is irrelevant and should just be mocked by the GOP, but they poo poo themselves at the thought of getting on the other end of his social media posts.

They're all just massive, huge wimps and I bet anyone in this thread could make a GOP house member piss their pants by just raising a fist at them.
