it was 5 people, planted there by an anti trump group. i’m not sure why an anti trump group has such a problem with the republican running for governor in VA, he’s not Trump.

Because when people who are never Trump were asked, Why are you as a Republican not for Youngkin?

I worked for and supported many Republicans. I’m mostly proud to have done so. But if being a good Republican today means supporting Trump or acquiescing in and enabling Trumpist authoritarianism, I say: No. Country first.

you’re saying all republicans are acquiescing to authoritarianism? so what are liberals for, smaller government.

backwards as always.

trump was many many bad things. he wasnt a dictator. a dictator wouldn’t let the media trash him the way they trashed trump. first thing a republican dictator would
do, is get rid of the media. but they never do that.

Duh.

Trump valued personal fealty while despising fidelity to oaths to the Constitution. He failed to see value in selfless actions that benefit others.

But you think he should be worshipped because he’s a billionaire and he worships the same things as you.

But since you keep going on--wishfully or disingenuously--about how GOP governors like Abbot and DeSantis are the future and there's NOTHING authoritarian about the former guy or them: You guys good with the TX vigilante law? You fine with FL professors being denied academic freedom?

You’re absolutely fine with both of those things since it serves your political purposes. Authoritarianism is fine if it's right wing authoritarianism, right?

If states legislate against the Constitution, there is a remedy for that. Same if the President acts unconstitutionally. The steady erosion and destruction of the Constitution is the problem. The Progressive agenda, and it's not a secret, is precisely to nullify the limitations that the Constitution imposes on government . . . especially on the federal government.
