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.
What’s your plan?
Chat is the place for vanities.
Sounds like ‘Hope and Change’. Join hands means vote Republican no matter what (I’m guessing). FYI, we’ve been doing that for decades with lousy results. I have no clue what ‘get to work’ means. Maybe you can clarify. Maybe you can’t. Apparently you’re a proponent of ‘Keep doing the same thing.....and getting the same results’. We already have fascism if you haven’t noticed.

“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.”
Because we are not as strong as we like to think. People here like to say we are 70 million plus strong but do not take into account the vast majority voted for Romney, McCain and Bush 43 in the past and will most likely vote for whoever the Republican nominee is in 2024.
You forgot to correct my grammar as well. Thank you Karen for taking the time. I will make sure I do it correctly in the future. My sincerest apologies for not understanding ‘posting protocol’ that is clearly not stated in the (nonexistent) directions on posting. Vain-ity has a permanent home on this site. Ignore the subject and focus on the messenger. Humblegunner-ism run amuck. But I still donate every month because I appreciate the bigger picture of what FreeRepublic does for society.
It does not matter who you vote for when the democrats cheat like they did November 3rd. Until the Republicans stand up and insist on Voter ID, Paper ballots, Signature verification, Purging Voter rolls for illegal registrants, etc. it will happen again.
Good list. Populist party?
