Wow.


The media did some major damage with you.


It would take a whole week of red pilling to fix this absolute mess.


So sorry.

Actually they very well may be.


After the mid terms, most of the only Democrats left are going to be only in deep blue radically left districts.


So - at least for the short term - that has some truth to it.

Possibly. Squad types are a unique bunch. They're like an arsonist at 3am who sets your home ablaze and sticks around long enough to angrily chide you about not being sufficiently thankful that they rang your doorbell before dropping the match onto the gasoline.

Increased spending and debt
High welfare
High inflation
Never ending wars
Federal Reserve operating without transparency.

That's what happened. That isn't MAGA. That's business as usual.

You sir are the problem. You have gobbled up so much fake news youre living in fantasy land. On my time on earth i have never run into a white supremacy issue and neither have you, last week there was a black supremacy shooting that injured 15 and it was out of the news cycle as soon as it didnt agree with the narrative. Neither of these issues effect 99.999% of Americans.

The issues today are inflation, the economy, illegal immigration and long term supply challenges of US oil. Each one of these issues are self-inflicted wounds by Biden. The media and Biden has distracted you while they destroy the country.

There is not a white supremacy problem. Period. 7000 hate crimes by ALL groups in one year is not a problem. The recent subway killer was a black supremacist. Granted as uninformed as you are, you wouldn't know about that incident.

You read something on a site one person said. Wow that really carries a lot of weight.

Time to flex.

That's right Dems and RINOs.

Abandon all hope of returning to the bad ole' days. Those days are finito.

The Republican Party now stands for Freedom, individuality, secure borders, prosperity, and a foreign policy that always puts America First.

The transformation has only just begun, and it is about to accelerate as this crazy little rock called Earth hurdles toward November.

And even the Lefties are finally beginning to get it.
I never did understand -- well, okay, I can guess -- why anyone would have a problem with making American great again -- and why it turned into (in their minds) a call to return to white racism.

To me, it was only about making the U.S. prosperous again -- and for me, that meant prosperous for ALL citizens.

And to make it even more confounding, Bill Clinton used the same phrase when he ran for President in 1992:

Others also used it.

There are things about the MAGA that are actually good policy. I just want Trump to go be a forever former president. I will be voting in the primary against any Trump endorsed candidates.
