“The GOP is dead”


Only need 5 seats. Biden’s job killing, America last and woke policies should be enough for that
So close yet so far when they had the house, senate, and White House a little over two years ago.

If Republicans take over the House, I'll pivot my investments appropriately, all the while watching the Republicans punish the poor folks stupid enough to put them back in office.

Leave Trump cut off from social media and ignore him. It's the only way out of this.
The Dems need to stick to the middle ground - stop pushing identity politics but find things that float all boats at the same time while they have power.
The Repubs need to find charismatic young politicians that stick to the middle ground.
Stop the them-us rhetoric and pandering to the vocal minority (far far left and far far right.) Otherwise we end up with more populist leaders.
Baloney.

Trump got the most republican votes in history for president, has received more votes than Barack Obama did in total, and has helped republicans win in places that were usually the territory of democrats before (blue collar poorer union areas for example).

Trump became persona non grata for the establishment and they fired every single gun they had at him...elite billionaires in corporate, big tech, DC, and media worlds.

Combine that with a fluke virus that was a godsend to the left and that's a tough situation to overcome.

Keep Trump, his message, etc. and get a younger, less polarizing but just as tough candidate, and they would be VERY tough to beat.

Also, the Democrat hysteria 24x7 scorched Earth policy that has occurred the past 4 years really expended A LOT of political capital. They already called Trump Hitler, impeached him twice, and went wall to wall for years. How are they going to do all that AGAIN for someone else who is a bit less controversial?

They won't be able to.

Household income went up thousands of dollars over Obama during the Trump years until the pandemic.

True, 2019 saw one of the largest increases in household income in decades.

This is patently false.

For starters, he died the next day, so you can't even get the time, place and what he was doing when it happened right.

Second, he died of a stroke, and despite investigators' efforts, they can't connect his death to any injury he suffered during the events of Jan 6th. They're still working on it, apparently.

Unless you can support that propaganda you irresponsibly repeated (you can't, because it's false), you're just another person on the internet who's full of crap.

Exactly. Talk about "big lies" and "conspiracy theories."

This person would be "deplatformed" if they weren't on the left.

Do you mean tax cuts? I do agree the government should reduce spending and leave more money in citizens control.
