These are terrible people and if you’re still a Republican at this point, it’s not a deal breaker for you.

    People who are Republicans in 2024 know full well what they are and are aware they’re in a cult. I just can’t see it any other way. You can’t consider yourself a decent human being, see everything the Republicans do/believe in, and say to yourself “yes, this party represents me 100%. I want to make good change in my country”.

        guessing they didn’t go far enough for some people, so now they have to double down on the vile rhetoric.

            This whole election has made me sad and angry.

            Like, seriously. How is this even close? Trump is worse in every meaningful way. Economy, immigration. Law and order. He’s not even “godly” for the Christian vote.

              You don’t need to be ‘Godly’ to suit angry, vengeful Christians who think the Bible says ‘you’re better than everyone else because you’re white and watch Fox News’. Sadly, being an arsehole is sufficient spiritual nourishment for a large minority.

              Look at the Senate races.

              Most of the swing state races the Dems are 6+points ahead or more.

              The presidential one is bogus. There is no way there is that big a difference between the down ballot and presidency. This is the Republicans from 2012 and 2022 all over again. They had polls that said Mittens was going to beat Obama by 10-12 points.

              Vote. She’s gonna win if we vote.

                2020, Trump lost because people who were voting republican down ballot did not vote for him.

                this time, it’s going to be lost by who loses the most voters simply not voting in the presidential election.

                In any case, I’ve confirmed that my ballot has already been accepted, so… not much more I can do now than to encourage others to vote too.

Where were you in 8th grade? They are in fact US citizens. It’s a whole fucking territory yo. Bad Bunny don’t need no visa

      I have family that are Republicans. They view fox news entertainment and use social media for news. When all the information they get is absolute trash, how can you not support republicans? Kamala isn’t Democratically elected to be a DNC candidate, and no one is happy with that. Why would you be happy with that, if nearly nobody is? Democrats are totally cool with guys saying they’re women, in order to win more sports matches because the same men aren’t competitive against men. Why would you not support that? Trump had the best economy ever. Do you not want a good economy? Trump isn’t part of the political elite, a group of people that try to force their will onto the people. Kamala has been in politics in years, and is of course part of the political elite. Why wouldn’t you vote for someone that is apart of the political elite? Doctors and Gay people want to force kids to use hormones and convince them to be gay, and democrats support them. Do you want to force kids to be gay and use hormone blockers or take unnecessary hormones?

      If I tell you the above in a vacuum, along with most of your friends and relatives, how can you not believe that is reality? I mean you see the above mention in the news, in social media. This is “of course” reality, and people who believe otherwise are idiots, malicious , or crazy.

      Until we deal with the crazy shit posted on social media, and Fox news posting and talking crazy shit (both I bet propped up quit a bit by foreign adversaries), people will have an alternate reality fed to them that is tailored to their wants and fears. Many people who support trump/Republicans are good people, they just are living in a different reality where Trump may have some flaws, but the left is absolutely bonkers. Many don’t watch his many rallies, and the news the consume aren’t honest in showing how he tried to steal the last presidential election, raped women and children, is in a worse mental state than Biden, is very ignorant of local and world politics, and is extremely selfish.

      Not all Republicans are like that. I swear y’all are the Democrat version of the Donald. And I’m not even a Republican
