The Republican party is vain. The current Republican party would have shunned George Washington for breaking the rules while fighting the British. Voters make excuses for supporting incompetence. Many despised Trump’s tweeting and rhetoric ignoring the battle we faced. Now Trump is gone, partially do to the people we voted for. We pretend we want to win but refuse to fight to win. Politicians know we won’t collectively punish them because of fear of the the Democratic party. The successes of the Trump administration had little to do with Republicans. Most was done by executive order. Here’s a list of failures by the Republican party prior and during Trump’s term:
Invasion of illegals
Wasteful spending
Wars
Border ignored
Unending regulations
Visa insanity
China invasion
Loss of manufacturing companies (jobs)
Radical islam
Planned parenthood
Assault on religion
Assault on guns
Assault on free speech
No investigations of Russia hoax
No investigations of Hillary, Obama, Biden, Lynch etc etc
No fight against leadership: Boehner, Ryan, McCarthy, McConnell, Graham etc etc
No transparency
Education indoctrination
IRS targeting
Election fraud (for decades)
Ukraine phone call nonsense
Biden’s foreign dealings for decades
Charlottesville nonsense
Catch and Release nonsense
VA accountability
Climate nonsense
COVID hysteria
BLM
Riots
Silence silence silence silence silence while we used our voice daily. Now we are a ‘cult’ ‘mob’ ‘violent’. Who is standing up for us? Cruz? Graham? Rubio? McConnell? Scalise? Paul? No, they are protecting their own interests. They fold.
Goemert, Gaetz, Jordan, Nunes, Hawley, Biggs and a few others.....that’s worth voting for. Vote for those that DON’T change their opinion when attacked. That should be the litmus test. Who keeps fighting when it isn’t ‘popular’ anymore?
How many Republicans were in office while all of this happened over decades? Most of them.
Unless and until we expect more, nothing will change. If they know you will ‘hold your nose’ while voting, they lose nothing. No sane person would keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Take a look at the Dem party and the infighting. The ‘squad’ openly threatened to primary Schumer and Pelosi. It worked. While Republicans openly praise their leadership even if it goes against us and Trump. If they won’t fight loudly and often, I’m not voting for them. I will fight to have them removed. Silence is a green light for Democrats and that’s why they always win.
I voted for Ross Perot. I didn’t want any of “this”.

umm. . .I don’t think we’ve been voting for them. We’ve had fraudulent elections for decades. My concern is that we will need to learn the hard way how to deal with it.
There have been many heroic efforts since the beginning of the tea party and most are continuing to work to eliminate voter fraud. Will it be enough when even the Supreme Court with a conservative majority is comfortable with it?
We’ve been voting for them. If a republican wins a race, we voted for them.
We should focus our efforts at the state level. The focus needs to be massive nullification of federal law, Convention of states, and secession, etc. In a nutshell the time has arrived for us to go our separate ways.
Trump’s not gone.
Let’s split the GOP into two.
That will beat the Democrats for sure. Maybe join hands, roll up your sleeves, and get to work is a better alternative. Politics is nasty business. Communism is nastier.
Democrats rarely let their fissures hurt their cause.
Anybody still playing the “D vs R” game is a blithering idiot.
My first ever vote at 35 was for Ross Perot. That was the year Patty Murrey the tennis shoe Mom ran for Senate in WA.
Held my nose for McCain, wrote in Ron Pauls name instead of Romney. Happily cast my vote for Trump twice, and the opponent of my Dem Congressman every 2 years for 18 years. I very dislike R's, should I change my registration?
“We pretend we want to win but refuse to fight to win.”
Many here glorify fighting for the sake of fighting and really don’t seem to care that we are not winning.
” Politicians know we won’t collectively punish them because of fear of the the Democratic party. “
Explains why Republican controlled legislatures in the contested states flipped us off.
“The ‘squad’ openly threatened to primary Schumer and Pelosi. It worked. “
I don’t see evidence of that. Schumer and Pelosi have two of the safest seats in Congress.
Voting is broken. These calls to vote differently are delusional bullshit.
If you think anyones vote since 2004 matters, you haven’t been paying attention
China’s voting machines have ‘guided’ most elections to their favored candidate using vote weighting and remote access
Since you posted this in bloggers, do you have a link to your blog?
I will say this, after voting for Cornyn in Nov and stabbing me and Trump in the back a month later. Contrary to saying Texas is turning blue. It’s BS. But Cornyn, will retire rather than lose in 6 more years. What a back stabbing B.
Look. Either name names on each and every specific complaint you have, and quit using the generalized broad brush that all elected GOPers betrayed you, or quit complaining at all. No good GOP elected officials was responsible for how any other GOP elected official voted. The GOP does not work like the Dims with some party dictator getting all Dims to fall in line.
No. The choice was ‘Bloggers/Personal’. Seems to be the only choice for ‘vanity’, which is all it is.
The RESULTS are a generalized broad brush. When we are war, we either win or lose. No one cares if a few good solders did a great job....the war was lost a long time ago. We didn’t get to where we are WINNING. Complaining? You betcha. I’m not a fan of fascism or donor designed rules and regulations. Your complacency is astonishing......I’m not the problem, compromised politicians are the problem. Apparently you get more riled up attacking voters as opposed to those doing the damage.
The GOP does not work like the Dims with some party dictator getting all Dims to fall in line.
Maybe we should.
Promises were made by both Pelosi and Schumer to squash the threats. Whether you believe the threat changed any minds, why not focus on why our leaders aren’t challenged? Our leaders have repeatedly went against the will of the people.
