Coming from an extremely republican person,

Project 2025 is actually horrible. I thought America was supposed to be about freedom. But I guess not if you’re a woman. I genuinely think this will be terrible

Can anyone explain to me the “national security risk” from TikTok?

I have heard that the company is connected to the Chinese government. I don’t know how true that is, or what the connection is, but what is the national security risk?

Teenagers posting videos of themselves dancing? Entrepreneurs hawking… t-shirts or other goods?

Sure sure sure. People’s payment options. But how is TikTok more dangerous in that regard from any other platform?

I don’t get it.

I’m not on TikTok, but what’s the deal?

Who do you think runs the United States?

Is it the President or somebody else? Is it Wall Street or is it a group of people? Or is it just chaos with various different groups competing and no singular institution which you called say is in control?

Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 Panel

https://youtu.be/QTd5g9NYue8?si=FETTT-K6KcKwdEzQ

I thought project 2025 was an exaggeration to rile up democrat votes. Then I watched this panel by the heritage foundation and saw they really mean it. They plan on purging government positions if Trump is elected and installing loyalists.

They are calling for conservatives to sign up so they can train them for government roles.

Why is patriotism frowned upon?

For context, I’m neither a liberal nor am I a conservative. I’ll admit that I find myself agreeing with more liberal policies than conservative but you’re never gonna catch me supporting everything on the left. At the end of the day, I think that your allegiance should be to our country and the Constitution first before your political party/affiliation like how Washington intended.

With that being said, why is patriotism and the support of American values and ideals at best frowned upon and at worst demonized in certain (typically more extreme) liberal circles? I don’t see why simple stuff like flying the flag suddenly makes me a fascist who wants to gut open minorities (even though I’m a minority myself). If I stand for the national anthem, why is that such a bad thing? If I even say that America is a great country, why do people act like I wore a period-accurate SS uniform and did the Nazi salute at Auschwitz?

By no means am I saying that liberals aren’t capable of loving their country nor am I saying that liberals don’t love America; it’s just that in my experience talking to liberals, it’s generally unpopular to support and love our country.

People also act like patriotism and nationalism are the exact same thing when they’re really not and I think that clouds a lot of people’s views/judgement. I might not agree with everything that we’ve done and we have our own issues just like every other country in the world but at the end of the day, I will fight and die for this nation and I have zero shame in proudly displaying our national colors. I don’t see how that puts me in the same zone as the batshit crazy goofballs who tried to take over the Capitol on Jan. 6 and I don’t see how it makes me a rabid Trump supporter.

Trump has worn the same suit for 7 years. Why has no one noticed this?

This monster gets away with literally everything. Even the most obvious, glaring oddities, yet it's glossed over. Not by them. MAGA are in a mass psychosis coma. By us!! WTF? What is wrong with us that we don't capitalize and use what is right in front of us? It's NOT normal.

Hats

The only reason you see Trump-rally Republicans wearing three-pointed hats is to cover up their actual preference for wearing one-pointed hats.

Of the tall, white, hooded variety.

Would lowering the pay of the supreme court justices push the right wing judges to resign?

Cynical liberal thinking here: We know the far right follows the money and if they could make more doing anything else would they jump ship?

Biden's reversal of Trump's Immigration Policies

Hello friends. Can someone help me? I'm looking for a comprehensive point by point list of what Trump enacted immigration policies that Biden reversed upon coming into office (and what he upheld). Trying to find something clear cut online and having trouble doing so. Would be really helpful for me. Thank you!

Poll by Emerson College OVERSAMPLES REPUBLICANS BY 10%, claims presidential race is tied.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1Gpw9Nauk__DTlqNYtgZ7fTBrm_7q73t4KPZBFVlMzvE/htmlview

EVERY poll since August has had this kind of gaslighting in it.

The only exceptions I have seen so far was a Yougov poll in January that attempted to define political affiliation, and that poll proved what is obvious: the polls are oversampling Republicans by an average of 8%.

Also, Pew Research and voter registration prove the partisan weights of the polls are wrong. Oh, and election results, too.

Grifter gone a grift

Lara T is now at the helm of the GOP and its coffers. And former Trump aids are telling Repugnantcans to stop donating to the GOP. I am thinking that this con is just to bleed them dry and bankrupt the GOP for all it's worth. From money to the last bit of dignity it once had....IF it ever really did.

Just some space music on a Saturday night.

After seeing Katie Britt's historically bad rebuttal to the SOTU, I was reminded of my favorite GOP rebuttal from 2009....Cue the Baconnaise, John

Is Ronald Reagan considered a Neo-Conservative? How close are people like Rumsfeld and Bush Jr to the Reaganite ideology?

Serious question

Are you all really on board with people in the party immediately rebuking President Biden for calling a jailed murderer an illegal. Is that really what should have been pulled from all of that? It was basically immediately is language REALLY THAT IMPORTANT? It's like the party is being bullied by a bunch of kindergartners
