I hope Row and women voters snap the party back to reality in November, or we are domed to see idiots like Hershel Walker elected to run our country.
gimme a break. america liked Trumps policies, they were popular, effective, and he did things for both sides ( tax cuts, criminal
justice reform).

Your side says it’s fine if i share a public restroom with little
girls and fine if i compete physically with girls and says that men can get pregnant and that cops are the enemy. Which side is unrecognizable, exactly?

Bill Clinton was a democrat president who slashed capital gains taxes and paid for it by kicking millions of deadbeats off of welfare. Is that something that today’s democrat party would embrace? Today that’s what a conservative republican says.

The only way todays GOP is unrecognizable to what it was 15 years ago, is how well we’re polling with hispanics.

The Democrats want to do what you claim as much as your side wants to make abortion a felony with no exceptions, eliminate gay marriage, permit child marriage, eliminate Social Security, Medicare and the federal department of education and make it so all states are equally as unsafe as Republican ones:
States with the highest murder rate:

Mississippi - 20.50 per 100k
Louisiana - 19.90 per 100k
Alabama - 14.20 per 100k
Missouri - 14 per 100k
Arkansas - 13 per 100k
South Carolina - 12.70 per 100k
Tennessee - 11.50 per 100k
Maryland - 11.40 per 100k
Illinois - 11.20 per 100k
It's not just Chicago, Stupid.

As far as the Republican Party being unrecognizable…….

In 2011, just 36% of Republicans said a politician who committed an immoral act could still fulfill their duties.

With Trump on the 2016 ballot, that shot up to 70%.

In 2020: 71%.

The exact situational ethics and moral relativism they claim makes liberals immoral. Their hypocrisy is revolting.

I guess he should have won in a landslide Jim, oh wait he did right, I’m pretty sure America didn’t want more of the same.

no, he lost resoundingly because he was such a jerk. americans liked his policies, they despised the man. I can i understand both of those sentiments.

If you deny his policies were popular, please
explain why the gallup poll showed an all time record number of americans said they were better of after 4 years of trump, more than any other president whod ever been polled?

i’m reacting to facts. you can only react to your ideology. americans liked trump’s policies,,but they disliked trump as a person, more.

Which suggests that someone who’d govern like trump, without being a world class jerk, could be very popular. which is why your side is terrified of Desantis. Trumps populist, effective policies without the attitude of an 8 year old applied brat.

Jim you crack me up. You think we aren’t laughing reading you generalize that Americans loved his policies, we know which Americans you really are referring to.

if americans don’t want more of the same, why is trump polling well against biden in a theoretical 2024 rematch?

i’m not sure america wants trump back ( even i do not), but they want his sane policies back…cheap gas, no inflation, lower crime, less insanity at the border ( though i give trump an f for not building the wall like he promised), less gender weirdness shoved in our faces.

what % of americans would say they’re better ifff today, than on Trumps last day in office? for sure, not all
of that is bidens fault. But it’s all his problem.
