You’re reasonable and I respect you for it. I’m interested in your thoughts on how much of the party defends him. Let’s say governors, federal representatives and senators. I feel like I see the same Twitter handles show up here all the time.
Easier to say who doesn’t defend him. In Congress you have Cheney, Kinzinger, a handful of other GOP reps and Romney. That’s pretty much it. Not great.
So how many actively defend him? I would say ~40% or so. Maybe more. For Iowa, Reynolds, Ernst, and several reps have made statements supporting him. Edit to add Grassley has also made statements so that makes almost every Iowa based politician I have checked so far.
“How did Garland become AG?”
Oh, the GOP is very very good at telling the dems to do this.
I’m guessing you consider someone saying they don’t agree with the “raid” as defending Trump? Which I don’t 100% disagree with but it’s a bit different than sucking his orange Johnson at every turn. Maybe I should have phrased my earlier question better.
Honestly I think you and many others are naive and by the time you realize that it will be too late. I’m not saying this to be a dick or anything like that.
You’re honest and I appreciate that. Republican’s are known to be nay sayers. So, if we don’t wake up, what will “America” look like going into 2030. What’s your warning to future us?
Thank you sir. The 4th estate has failed us as well with their bullshit enabling and "reporting"
We will look like Russia if the GOP takes/steals power
That quickly? Clarify “takes/steals power” for me. Is the only way the GOP “takes” power is by “stealing” elections?
No idea what our future holds if people don’t wake up but it won’t be good for the majority of citizens.
Making it harder to vote, election deniers up for election in numerous state legislatures now, SCOTUS about to review a case that could give all power of elections to state legislatures only which means they could decide to send their own approved Electoral college votes to Congress and ignore the will of the people.
And yes that quickly. Russia's fledgling Democracy ended when Putin corrupted their institutions and changed their constitution making him the "President for life " aka Dictator. Happened in the blink of an eye to them.
It’s pretty to easy to understand if you think about it. If you are a Republican politician, you have your core that will always vote Republican no matter what.
Voting Democrat being the only option seems like something a Democrat would say. I plan on caucusing for anyone but Trump, if he is a nominee. If he gets the nomination, I’ll have zero motivation to vote. Not voting is not supporting Trump.
Then sit on the bench and do nothing. Meanwhile the Republican Party will continue down the road to fascism.
Caucusing isn’t exactly sitting on the bench. I’d imagine you’d try and change the Democratic nominee as your first move.
Still slopping up everything Chis says. At least Torbee admitted it was BS rhetoric
Well when our Capitol was stormed, people hang out holding Nazi flags in support of a political party, without being condemned, and a member of Congress said that Hitler had some good ideas, AND after Trump’s raid his cult members quote Mein Kampf…
Chis’s track record speaks for itself. You may not like the delivery, but he’s been right on key points at every turn. I admit, Chis has even proved me wrong a time or two.
Chis is right that people who voted for Trump are the Taliban and Terrorists??? Come on
