Here is the best description of a Trumplican

Regular republicans have a few guiding principles like small government = good and respect for the institutions of the nation.

A Trumplican is perfectly willing to abandon any of these principles if Trump does.

Think about republicans dating all the way back to Richard Nixon. Would any of them downplay or shrug off a violent insurrection against the state? Would any of them dare challenge our democratic process?

No !

but a Trumplican They would say No problem party 1st Country maybe 2nd and that’s a maybe

so if i condemn what happened in january 6th ( and i similarly condemn the BLM riots), but i like the legislative policies that trump helped usher in, what does that make me? i like trumps legislative accomplishments more than i’d like what any “classical” republican would have done. but i hate what happened in january 6th.

as to challenging our democratic process,,not sure if you responded to my post yesterday. but when bush beat gore, democrats sued. when trump beat hilary, many in the left were urging electors not to vote for trump. so where do you get off saying that no one has ever tried to undermine the will of the people?

More of the same I see Jim everything’s the same. Is no argument it’s a dodge

if the GOP is smart, they won’t go back to the Liz Cheney / RINO mold.

so where do you get off saying that no one has ever tried to undermine the will of the people?

you are a Trumplican the above proves it.

you say a Trumplican is someone who defends January 6th.

I said i hate what happened on January 6th. I hate what the rioters did.

Then you say that proves I’m a Trumplican.

It’s flawless logic you got there. .

For the second time, i’m not saying january 6 was the same as BLM riots. I’m saying they were different, in that the BLM riots were much worse. They resulted in more deaths and way more damage, absolutely no comparison. none.

and again you ignored the fact that when trump won, liberals tried to undermine the democratic process by urging electors not to cast their votes for trump. you won’t comment when democrats work to undermine feee elections, you only care when republicans do it.

No Jim you are a Trumplican because at every Turn you attempt explain away any responsibility the GOP has in the Jan 6th events and it’s aftermath , while saying you condemn it.

time after time trying to compare events , some decades ago and some recent. that absolutely in no way shape or form resembles what happened, it’s called Denial

i think trump bears some responsibility for january 6th. never, ever said otherwise. i think impeachment was a farce, but i think i he bears some responsibility for things he said about Pence, and for not condemning it.

i think far more republicans condemned january 6, than democrats condemned the blm riots, even those were much bloodier and more destructive.

denial? you refuse to comment on democrat attempts to undermine the 2016 election, and you refuse to comment on the poll
clearly showing that americans liked trumps policies, you refuse to admit that democrats were often on the side of the blm rioters. you can’t comment on anything which you can’t spin as favorable to your side. i constantly criticize my own side. but i’m in denial. gotcha.
