I agree with this completely. Traditional republicans are downright sane and reasonable compared to what nutcases trump has empowered. Go Lincoln Project GO!

What draws you the most to those with the LP? Is it the confederate flag, the Muslim hating xenophobia, possible tax cheating?

It's so boring when people can't even consider that someone did what they did for a reason, of which had not a thing to do with what you said.

That was my message to the Republican party. I'm only one person, but 1+1 =2 + 1 = 3 + 1 =4, etc. etc. etc.

The GOP knows that many left.

We gave them a message when we voted for Trump.

They didn't listen.

So, we give them another message by leaving. No, I will not vote nor support your RINOs, no, I will not give you donations, no, I won't buy into your bs.

Present actual Conservatives, with Conservative values, not socialist values, and we'll see, but until then, they've lost my support.

All propaganda from you.
Only confederate flags I've ever seen flown by "republicans" were trump chumps in the capitol.
Muslim haters are the redneck trump chumps.
Tax cheating? Can't speak of that outside of Trump himself.

Seems you have a blind spot when it comes to your heroes. Grifters and tax cheats, racists, xenophobes, oh and pedophiles too...but it's obvious you don't care. Anyway, here's just a few articles....

Yes, but can you image what the death rate would be if Russia or China was the sole Superpower? Since the United States assumed the role of a Superpower, we hadn’t had a major or global war. So say what you want, but you can’t argue the truth. Being a 30 year military veteran who served in war and detest it, but know that you have to fight when forced to.

The Rhinos are aligned with the Democrats and you are blind or a liar if you don’t think Biden’s weakness is pushing us into a global conflict.

Sorry, but I will be voting for Trump again, if he runs is 2024 and accept that his personal flaws since his policies were good for the American people. If not Trump, than DeSantis.
If true, then why is Liz Cheney considered a rino when she voted with Trump over 90 percent of the time. She's more aligned with the republican party and Trump than many other republicans, yet they aren't considered rinos. Look at Elise Stefanik....she didn't even vote with Trump 80 percent of the time. So why isn't she considered a rino. Cheney even voted more with Trump then Graham, Rubio and so many other republicans. So why aren't they rinos. Honestly, this rino thing makes no sense to me.

I hate the binary thinking that republicans and democrats always try to veil an issue upon. It's D vs. R , Conservative vs. Democrat , Us vs. Them , Black vs. White, Male vs. Female, Straight vs. Gay, atheist vs. christian, Isolationist vs. Interventionist.


Simps always try to boil an issue down to 1 vs. 0 binary thinking and it's done on both sides. It must be that is what their feeble brain can only process to simplify it very simple terms. This line of thinking is likely why we end up with the turd sandwich of representation that we get. The Clintons, Bushes, Obama, Trump, and Biden skidmark history we have is due to the people that think this way.

She is a neo con war hawk. That's the difference with Trump and for a neo con that is everything. That's the fight in the GOP. That's why she impeached Trump. She wants the Bush doctrine to return ruling the party.


She is not a rino like Mitt Romney or Kasich but she crossed the line many times by going after the base and being used by Pelosi and the Democrats. She is done.

Because of one thing and one thing only: Cheney would not support the big lie.

All you gung ho "fight for Ukraine!" folks...nothing is stopping any of you from going to Kyiv and actually fighting for Ukraine. Apparently, Zelensky and his people will be happy to have the help.

Why demand of others? Why not just get on the plane?
