What will Republicans do? If illegals get the right to vote; and Florida and Texas start turning color; and millennials want to play with the fire of socialism; and the democrats make overtures to the Rust Belt; and ballot harvesting continues... then these are legitimate problems for the Republicans. Again, what will they do?
You can only pray that the democrats are too divided and too caught up with Trump derangement so that they are ineffective in capitalizing on these advantages. But it would be a good step for Republicans to start to address these problems.
For example, what are the advantages of a great GDP if half the country don’t pay income tax or if the millennials don’t care about work? Why is there a growing prosperity divide between the middle class and the very wealthy. What can Republicans do to ensure that access is available to the wealthy class. If access isn’t available then socialism seems more attractive in its call to tax the rich. This needs to be addressed effectively.
Any suggestions?
They will roll over. Isn’t that why we voted for Trump? He’ll be alone.
Nothing... like they always do.
Republicans are afraid of anything and everything. They do nothing.
If you are still in it, it’s coming time to ditch the party of weaklings. Without Trump, there is nothing of value there.
The MSM-Democrats will next demand absentee voting from anywhere in Latin America. Why should Democrat voters be forced to make the dangerous journey to our southern border.
Then, they’ll demand polling stations in Latin America.
There’s no need to remove physical borders of the United States.
Only 23, didn’t join that stupid hate bill in the house.
That tells us what we need to know about Rs.
“Talk tough and do nothing” is always a safe bet.
The Constitution is a social contract. One side is breaking that social contract into a million pieces. I don’t know why normal people would feel any allegiance to the resulting monstrosity. With the country gone, what are the laws worth?
IMO they will, quite STOOOOOOPIDLY, try and turn back the clock to the Bush-era, globalist-loving, National Review approved GOP that existed before Trump.
This will mark the final death knell for the country as we know it. The ONLY political choice now in this country is between Trump Populism and AOC’s brand of Socialism.
Simply not enough voter support the Bill Kristol view for the old GOP to win elections anymore. Run on that and socialism is going to be voted in on a landslide.
By abandoning Trump these people are sowing the seeds of their own destruction.
Legitimate problems?
They are existential problems.
So the slimes get to import their new voters?
Voting themselves our money?
These actions will either result in a full scale civil war or (most probably) total capitulation by our spineless, completely ball-less Republican collection of marshmallows.
They’ll write a strongly worded letter.
If they’re really, really, REALLY mad, they’ll actually send it.
Simple, Import 10,000,000 Chinese who will vote GOP. Also, start to market in Spanish Language Radio and TV (now all Liberal and Democrat) Latinos should be a natural ally of the GOP—Religious, not socialist, patriotic for the most part—and they like a strong man in charge as in their homeland.
Republicans will be fine. They will continue in the minority kowtowing to globalist corporate interests, keep them supplied with cheap imported labor, undercut American wages, and hold tariffs to the bare minimums so offshoring will continue. The one good thing about Republican politicians is when you buy them the stay bought.
They will relax and try to enjoy it and then go to the ER to have the tearing and bruises tended-to.
Then go right back for more
IMO they will, quite STOOOOOOPIDLY, try and turn back the clock to the Bush-era, globalist-loving, National Review approved GOP that existed before Trump.
Even worse. The GOP will go full Romney progressive corportist. Think conservative in name only party in England.
You’re making the mistake of thinking the Republicans care about how America is governed. They care about the party, and as long as they can hold onto most of their seats in flyover country, and keep their cushy jobs as the “Loyal opposition” they will bluster, but do nothing constructive. Remember, for many years they were perfectly happy being the minority party in Washington. If they party is threatened, I believe they will put up some level of fight.
Take care of things LOCALLY - VOLUNTEER for your local R or I or L candidates, versus sitting around wringing your hands. Volunteer at the closest Trump 2020 HQ!
Do NOT listen to the BS coming out of the Enemy Media. Turn OFF your TV!
Look back on ALL President Trump has accomplished, blindfolded, hobbled, hogtied and UPHILL thanks to the Dems, the RINOs and the EVIL Enemy Media. His list of accomplishments is OUTSTANDING; like NO other President in our lifetime! He has slowed the march of Socialism like no other.
Pray, if so inclined.
Nattering Neighbobs of Negativity make me NUTS! We’ve had this amazing BLESSING bestowed upon us and all you can do is worry about, ‘What If? What If? What If?’
Let’s act like the adults we’re supposed to be. FIGHT for your most AWESOME way of life in America. We truly ARE the last FREE place on EARTH! MAGA! :)
They will go the way of the Whigs
I don’t know how you are, steve8714, but I know I’m just Joe Schmo, working overseas to try and make a living. So, I’m not the one that has the reach or the voice. But, the President won’t be alone if a couple of million showed up in DC, some time this Spring or Summer to show some support for the man. Maybe, someone with a voice like some radio talk show host or tv host or comedian or member of Congress can get something set up. Maybe someone can organize rally’s all over the country to let folks and, more importantly, the President that he is NOT ALONE. And that there are people willing to fight for him.
Just a thought.
Bad things are on the horizon for this country, unfortunately. The Left thinks that they’ll have a police and military force that will blindly follow orders like they do in Venezuela, France and other places. Maybe they will. Maybe they won’t. Maybe the Left’s robots, that they’ll call upon to enforce their will, might come up against some serious opposition. Maybe they will. Maybe they won’t. The very same Left that has been hounding the country with “foreign interference” in our elections now wants foreigners to be able to vote in our elections. Can’t make this stuff up.
Causes of the Revolutionary War
The American people were strongly independent. They wanted to do things for themselves. Great Britain was a long way away. The American people didn’t want people an ocean away telling them how to live their lives.....OR.....American’s don’t want Leftist’s in DC, NYC, San Fran, telling them how to live their lives.
The British government decided to make the American colonies pay a large share of the war debt from the French and Indian War....OR....maybe American’s are tired of paying taxes for stuff they don’t support so the Left can increase its grip on power by creating a permanent under class.
Through the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and other taxes, the British tried to collect taxes that the American people considered harsh.
The American people also thought that they should be able to send their own people to Britain’s Parliament or at least vote for Britain’s lawmakers....OR....maybe American’s want free and fair elections, no voter fraud and certainly not wanting illegal aliens to vote.
The combination of the harsh taxes and the lack of an American voice in Parliament gave rise to the famous phrase “taxation without representation.....OR....the TEA Party....OR....MAGA
Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and others called for an independent America, colonies free from British rule and interference....OR.... American’s just want to be able to live their lives, independently, as long as they don’t bother anyone else and don’t want Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, Omar, et al telling them what to do.
Americans started stockpiling guns and ammunition in violation of British laws. Their defense of such a stockpile led to the shots fired at Lexington and Concord and the beginning of the Revolutionary War....OR....American’s are tired of the Left’s constant persecution of law abiding gun owners and enthusiasts, who do not break the law and just want to be left alone to live their lives, instead of being blamed for all the ills of society.
What many don’t know is that the spark that started the American Revolution was the attempted confiscation of civilian-owned firearms and ammunition....Maybe that’s true. Maybe it isn’t.
