the party that wants smaller federal government reach, less federal intrusion, the party that wants to give people more liberty and choice, is the authoritarian party.
That’s just brilliant Pete. You have a dazzling intellect.

Trying to overthrow the government, banning the teaching of history, banning books, these things are not “conservative”, they are truly radical

trump is one guy. he’s not “the republican party”
pete, biden is a pathological
liar, he obviously sold
influence to profit his son, a plagiarist, said republicans want to put blacks in chains, a weird woman sniffer with a rape allegation against him.
are you responsible
for that? are all democrats? do you get painted with biden’s personal
flaws?
this is what people
do, when they don’t want to talk about policy.

You will recall that in 2020, the RNC declined to create a platform.
Instead, the RNC passed a 1-page resolution which concluded that the party stood for . . . literally whatever Donald Trump wanted:

trump is more than one person?
there are tens of millions of republicans. a group that large has some awful, awful people
in it.
do the actions of the BLM rioters who killed people, say anything about you Wayne?
you believe in Biden’s policies. that doesn’t mean you approve of every single thing he does.
Well, actually in your case, it does mean exactly that
But for everyone else, supporting a persons policies, isn’t the same as supporting how he lives his life
Bill Clinton is a gigantic hero on the left. And he’s absolutely repugnant. And i say he was a good president by the way. but a rotten, disgusting human being.
Most people on the right like trump’s
policies, not his ethics.
And according to the Gallup poll, it wasn’t just people on the right who liked his policies.

you’re saying one cannot like trumps policies but dislike him personally?
you’re insane.
58% of americans said they were better off after 4 years of trump, an all time record. and that was during a pandemic. That was an alltime record. an all tome record, is not an ambiguous result.
how do you explain that poll? enjoy’

books such as the one showing young boys blowing each other. not banning them entirely, just from public schools.
but when the left forces christian businesses out of business because they won’t participate in gay weddings, that’s not authoritarian. trying to shut down joe rogan, firing Gina Carano, etc…
unbelievable.

when maine waters goes on tv and tells democrats rats to hound
members of trump’s cabinet to “let them know they aren’t welcome anywhere, anytime” is that authoritarian?
when AOC tells Schumer to “make life as difficult as possible” for Manchin and Sinema, is that authoritarian?

They censure Liz Cheney, one of the most conservative members of Congress,
But won’t censure a corrupt, sexual predator, disgraced twice impeached former president Trump.
Tells you everything you need to about today’s GOP.

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the (Republican) party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."
Guess who
