Republicans Won’t Abandon Trump More at the link. I suspect the only way the evangelicals and die hard conservatives move on from Trump is that when a successor to MAGA arises, either through Trump’s death or hell freezes over and he named his “heir.”
They were going to jump ship from Fox News to Newsmax and OANN because Fox didn't call Arizona and stuck with facts. That's like Russians choosing RT to hear how they're winning the day to day in Ukraime.
The vanishingly rare moment when Fox "News" stuck with facts when it comes to politics and actually much else.
Belief is a powerful thing and many will find that when the facts don’t fit their belief rather than change their belief they change the facts to fit it.
And they made sure that the firing was publicized in hopes that their "core" audience would forgive and forget.
If the best republican candidate is DeSantis aside from trump. Where would u even gauge Desantis on the political scale? Trump I wouldn't consider him far right, man just peddles to whatever that earns him votes. Conservative folks on here are like forget trump, support DeSantis. Seems like to me DeSantis is an even more extreme conservative than trump.
Republicans claim Democrats are stoking violence and hatred when Biden gives a speech about the threat of Republicans who deny elections and embrace violence. Meanwhile Republican candidates for governors make jokes about kidnapping plots of their opponents https://www.businessinsider.com/tud...n-whitmer-michigan-kidnapping-plot-fbi-2022-9 Michigan GOP gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon mocks 2020 kidnapping plot against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Michigan GOP gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon mocked the kidnapping plot against Gov. Whitmer. "Gretchen Whitmer sure is good at taking business hostage and holding it for ransom," Dixon said. Two men were convicted in the plot, in which they sought to kidnap Whitmer from her vacation home. Michigan Republican gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon on Friday mocked the kidnapping plot against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, her opponent in the November general election. During two campaign events, Dixon made light of the high-profile 2020 domestic terrorism plot, which was widely seen as a harbinger of the increased threat of political violence in the United States. Two men have been convicted in the plot, in which they sought to kidnap the governor from her vacation home. Prosecutors said that the men had eyed destroying a bridge in order to cripple the governor's security detail and any responding police officers. "The sad thing is Gretchen will tie your hands, put a gun to your head, and ask if you are ready to talk. For someone so worried about getting kidnapped, Gretchen Whitmer sure is good at taking business hostage and holding it for ransom," Dixon said at a campaign appearance in Troy, Mich., a suburb of Detroit. Her comments elicited an audible applause from many of the attendees. At a rally in Muskegon, a city in western Michigan, Dixon poked at an appearance that Whitmer made with President Joe Biden, who recently visited state and toured the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Once again, Dixon referenced the 2020 kidnapping plot to lob an attack at her opponent. "The look on her face was like, 'Oh, my gosh, this is happening. I'd rather be kidnapped by the FBI,'" she said at the event. Dixon then stated that her previous comments were not a joke. "If you were afraid of that, you should know what it is to have your life ripped away from you," the Republican candidate said. Per CNN, she later said: "I think when you're being attacked everyday, you have to have a little levity in things — we can still have fun." Democrats immediately criticized Dixon over her comments. Maeve Coyle, a spokeswoman for Whitmer's campaign, said in a statement that the governor "has faced serious threats to her safety and her life" and said that Dixon's statements made her "unfit" to become a public servant. "Threats of violence — whether to Governor Whitmer or to candidates and elected officials on the other side of the aisle — are no laughing matter, and the fact that Tudor Dixon thinks it's a joke shows that she is absolutely unfit to serve in public office," she said. Insider contacted Dixon's campaign office for comment, but didn't immediately receive a reply Saturday. Democratic Governors Association spokesman Sam Newton blasted Dixon's statements as "dangerous." "Tudor Dixon's comments are dangerous, an insult to law enforcement who keep us safe, and utterly disqualifying for the role of Michigan governor," he said. Whitmer, who was easily elected governor in 2018, has since been widely criticized by conservatives for enacting a range of COVID-19 restrictions, with the Republican-controlled state legislature suing her over her extensions of emergency powers during the pandemic. However, as the 2022 election approached, Republicans fumbled in their gubernatorial nomination process, as several candidates — including onetime frontrunner James Craig — were removed from the ballot over forged petition signatures. Dixon won the August GOP primary after receiving a late endorsement from former President Donald Trump, but she is currently trailing Whitmer in most public polling. In a newly-released EPIC-MRA poll, Whitmer led Dixon by 16-percentage points (55%-39%). Trump is set to appear alongside Dixon at an Oct. 1 rally in Macomb County, a populous suburban jurisdiction outside Detroit.
Dixon has also joined a cohort of Republicans who have, amid the fall of Roe, pushed for abortion bans without exceptions for fetuses conceived through rape or incest.
More and more Republicans running for office (or currently in office) are showing that violence is acceptable or even desirable. Many of them take their cue from Trump.
My parents have 0 idea what the lefts platform is. If you ask them they’ll say they want to ruin america and take money away from white people.
This is one of the reasons why I always point out that the Biden Presidency along with the Democrat Congress has passed infrastructure bills. That they are building new roads, airports, bridges and dams. Trump had "Infrastructure weeks" but Biden has actual infrastructure bills.
