After Trump, the MAGAMorons don't care if their guy is lying. They want to "win" at any cost. Just ask our village idiot.
As I've said before, the Reich has so demonized the Left, has so pitched them as the enemy that anything against them is A-OK. Cheating to win, violence to achieve their aims, no-problemo. The Repub base used to just hold their noses and go along with it. Now the uncover their noses, and breath in deeply.

Here is a clip from the always obnoxious (to me) Henry Olsen whose opinions are made after he has twisted himself into knots.

Quote:
The choice between Warnock and Walker isn’t a hard one for Republicans or pro-lifers. Warnock is a solidly progressive Democrat who has largely backed his party’s agenda. That’s disqualifying for any partisan Republican. Warnock also unreservedly supports abortion rights, even reiterating his support for them in responding to Monday’s bombshell report. Walker could be a major disappointment to his voters as a senator, but he couldn’t possibly be as problematic to them as Warnock.
This in short is group think.

Post So that's that.

According to Herschel Walker if the people of Georgia don't elect him they're doomed to an eternity in hell.

Walker served up a confusing claim, suggesting his popular right wing social media influencer son is actually a liberal.
Don't worry about his son though, Herschel still says he loves his son unconditionally.

I am glad I started lurking here. Being a Purple hat wearer, I get to see how the wackos on both teams act and think. I see the slant is for a blue hat, which is all good, but some do reinforce the fact that both blue and red hats have people that act exactly the same, my observation on here is the edge goes to the blue team for name calling and ridicule, some obviously angry people that seem to have no self-control.

A fair amount of the blue venom here is venting from blues in red zones where their opinions and votes have no influence.
I came here for discussions of different perspectives, and to occasionally rant into the void to relieve the pressure of frustration with the fringe right crazies defining the opposition. I never anticipated things getting this bad with two visions of the "original intent" of the FFs being divided between those that seek domination of a white Christian culture theocracy, and everyone else who sees an inclusive dynamic adaptive democracy under law sliding toward open confict and mob rule.

Does not make them the morally superior people they think they are!

And they are just contributing to our disfunction.

It is good to avoid insulting people who might, when not hot, be open to civil dialog. This includes people other than the person you are directly addressing who may hear/read what you say.

In my opinion, you are resorting to false equivalence. The Republican agenda is based on lies, every one of them beginning with current issues such as inflation, crime, climate change and abortion. Try and prove me wrong.

Even the so called open borders is a Republican scare mongering, the situation has not changed regardless of which party is in power since the 80's. Nor has drugs, except drugs now are more easily synthesized than imported.

As long as there is a demand for workers, illegals will continue to cross our border, these people are desperate to make a living and we desperately need workers. They are not coming here to commit crimes. Also, as long as there is demand for drugs, they will creep across our borders. Supply follows demand.

So when a person lies to me, I call them a liar and move on.

What do you say to a person who tells me that Trump won in 2020 other than you are full of shit.

Trump stealing classified documents is now to be disregarded because he de-classified them? I will call that a BS.

Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump was president? Really? He was the laughing stock for the entire world. I call them MAGAts, short for MAGA morons.

January 6th Insurrection is a first and second moment? Insane Idiots.

What do you say to a bunch of politicians standing behind a placard saying Save America when these are the clowns out to destroy America? FU.
