stolen from Flagpole. This will happen again, as it always does. Rs will fall in line behind Trump. after some weak protests and probably some more m'aga violence.
I'd add to Flagpole's list:
McCarthy's pledge to be done with trump after J6....a pledge that lasted maybe 2 weeks.
Not even pence will go full-throated anti-trump. After Trump tried to get pence killed.
1) Donald Trump called Ted Cruz's wife ugly and said his father had something to do with killing JFK, and Cruz kissed his butt.
2) Donald Trump gave the nickname of Little Marco to Marco Rubio, and Cruz kissed is butt.
3) Lindsey Graham initially said he would not vote for Trump and called him "a race baiting, xenophobic religious bigot." Remember that? And then he turned around and kissed his butt.
Trump is a liability. I’ve been warning my friends on the right since 2015. There is and can be no doubt about that. But, forget about the man for a moment.
Was 1/6 the real “insurrection” and attack on Democracy, when security was seriously lax in the first place (Pelosi knew) and the FBI had informants among the Oath Keepers (Wray admitted this by not denouncing it, as well as one of his assistants). Or is the real subversion of Democracy the landbridge w Mexico and the subsequent unfettered access of illegal immigrants (we simply don’t have the manpower the deal with them all) and potent drugs coming across the border that are killing our kids? Is the real subversion of Democracy all the tech giants at Facebook, Insta, and TikTok (massive Chinese undermining of our kids along with the precursors to fentanyl they ship to Mexico) that do nothing to thwart the harm to our kids, a generation that has already been set back substantially because of the ridiculous Covid school shutdowns? Is the real subversion of Democracy the lack of credible voting ID and in person voting with the “purple fingers” that could be easily implemented and shut EVERYONE up as long as we allowed three full days for the voting? Is the real subversion of Democracy this ridiculous preoccupation with pronouns and “rights” that aren’t even rights according to the law.
Is it possible that 1/6 was merely grand political theatre massively exploited by the left to further their anti-Trump agenda? Don’t get me wrong, I will never, ever vote for the reckless narcissist, but the fact that you all ruminate endlessly about his failings and are preoccupied with your hatred for him does absolutely nothing to compel those of us who can see through the charade to come to your “side.” Of course, uninformed liberals generally vote only on emotion and propaganda, so it doesn’t matter anyway. If you deny that there’s another subversion of Democracy going on, which is the only way a Trump ever got elected in the first place, then you are an utterly disingenuous or ill-informed voter.
