How do all the unemployed like all the new competition from south of the border, slap in the face.

How do women like their sports being destroyed by women in male bodies or whatever, another slap in the face.

These 2 things alone will probably shift things dramatically back to the right.


Twitter and facebook are enjoying the fact many people dont want to take the time to switch over. HELP your friends switch over(Clouthub.com, Gab.com, telegram.com, Rumble.com), several people already have.

Why is the crazy happening? Imo its a result of a more secular society, and apparently the communism arises from liberalism if there was any doubt.. The old liberal guard like Alan Dershowitz who strongly believes in free speech has been replaced by more radicals who believe in censorship, deplatforming, & win at any cost. Alan is basically a moderate now.

If the crazy people see a few of their communist Gods like twitter and facebook tumble, they might walk a little softer. HELP your friends get off of them, especially Google(presearch.org, duckduckgo.com, yandex.com are some alternatives).

Mexicans and Central Americans have been crossing the border illegally in large numbers for decades. They aren't "new" competition; they're working in the same, horrible jobs they always have. I promise you, if you're looking for work cutting Turkey beaks, or de-feathering a live chicken, there are plenty of opportunities available. GOP doesn't want you to know that its donors secretly don't want their cheap, abusable labor supply to dry up.

Also, the fact that you think trans people playing in sports is some sort of "Issue of our Time" is exactly Trump and his ilk are so unpopular. This doesn't matter to people. Just the loonies on the internet. Here in the real world, we worry about ending the pandemic and restoring the economy.

If the GOP keeps screaming about trans people, Democrats might just win the House in 2022.

Oh there are plenty of issues, I just think those two will put them over the top.

To the OP.

Maybe focus on doing something positive for peoples lives because wages have remained stagnant for decades, health care costs are rising and you had a chance to overturn Obamacare and you couldn’t get it done because you had no alternative.

So far, Romney’s child allowance is the only thing I’ve seen and not a single Republican made an effort.

If you keep offering more of the same recycled Reaganomics that haven’t worked for most people then keep expecting more of the same.

Very well stated. Right now the populist wing is dominant in the GOP and the only thing that gets them motivated is the.....tired....needs to be put out to pasture....culture wars.....and to own the libs just for the sake of it. Right now the GOP is Balkanized primarily because of Trump and they are simply void of policy or new ideas and solutions. i simply do not take the GOP seriously anymore because they no longer behave seriously.. This predicament of it's own accord is worrisome for the entire country. In order for our constitutional democratic republic to work is by having at least two strong at least partially functioning parties....one party decided to leave the reservation (GOP) and we are vulnerable to the other parties political impulses (DNC).

So wanting to rid our country of illegal aliens instead of rewarding them, securing our border and making bogus asylum seekers wait in Mexico till their cases can be heard is not a platform or policy? That's only one thing that Trump and many Republicans wanted to do and continue to advocate for. That's only one example of putting Americans first.

Control? LOL! You just described Biden and his fellow radical leftists to a tee!

So that is just how the Republicans in the Red States want it, except they don't agree that Trump is fading away.

And they have no legal right to cross our border illegally and take jobs they aren't entitled to! What part of that don't you get? Horrible jobs? You mean like construction, landscaping, restaurant jobs, etc. are too horrible for Americans to do? Since when? Who do you think were doing all those jobs before millions of cheap, illegals flooded our border willing to work for less making the rich, richer?

When a meat packing plant was raided several years ago for illegal alien workers Americans lined up around the corner for those jobs!

If you think that it is only Republicans that hire cheap, illegal workers then you aren't dealing in reality. There are greedy Democrat businessmen that do the same! Why is it that it is mostly the Democrats that want them to remain here then?

So you think that males should be able to compete in women's sports? WTH? If you think that nonsense is popular with most Americans then again you aren't dealing in reality.

You want to end the pandemic but Biden is allowing Covid positive foreigners into our country and releasing them into our society to take a bus anywhere they want to go. How does that end the pandemic? It is those that lived in fear (liberals) that destroyed our economy and it wasn't necessary to do so.

Goodbye, into my trash bin you go!
