how does one expect to find any “unifier” candidate when the to predominant political arguments in the US are:
Conservatives are the ones that wore the “fuck your feelings” shirts.
They don’t want a “unifier”. They want revenge on everyone that ever made fun of them for saying and believing stupid shit. They want revenge on people smarter than them, more educated than them, and people with more expertise than them. And they love Donvict because they think he’ll do it.


Yep. Expect a whole lot of Sudden Independents. Or people claiming they belong to a non-existent party like the teabaggers, oops, I mean the “Tea Party”.
Both of which will likely wait on the sidelines for a bit, too embarrassed to admit they are conservatives, and not principled enough to be liberal, but will likely continue to secretly vote Republican, if they vote at all. They just might not broadcast it so much.
The biggest indicator that a conservative is operating in this mode - when they talk about “both sides” and wave in the direction of something David Brooks recently said or wrote…


Still as slow-witted as ever. They are probably getting what they deserve.
In the town of Waxahachie, Texas, south of Dallas, 28-year-old three-time Trump voter Ryan James Hughes, a children’s pastor, doesn’t see an improvement in his family’s financial situation. He said the medical bills haven’t declined.
But, he said, “I’m not looking to the government to secure my financial future.”
I’m sure he said the same thing when he and others were claiming 2024’s economy was the “worst ever” (LOL).
Oh, and of course…out comes the “both sides” bullshit when Republicans are unable to overlook how awful Republicans are:
Phyllis Gilpin, a 62-year-old Republican from Booneville, Missouri, praised Trump’s ability to “really listen to people.” But she doesn’t love his personality.
“He is very arrogant,” she said, expressing frustration about his name-calling. But she said the divisive politics go both ways: “I really, honestly, just wish that we could all just not be Democrat or Republican — just come together.”
Yes, the “divisive politics go both ways”. People protesting fascism are just as bad as those that cheer on and carry out the fascism…both sides. It’s far better to find a neutral position between those that want to murder and deport everyone that’s not a conservative cishet xtian…and those that don’t want that.


I cannot imagine being such a dimwit as to be one of the people just now waking up to this.
I mean…did these people really not see his first term? Did they really think that the only reason he failed in his first term was because of Covid?


LOL, “immigration enforcement”. Talk about sane-washing.
Saying this is about immigration enforcement is just a pretext for an OCCUPATION by rogue conservative thugs.


“Something something Biden argle bargle he created this immigration mess due to open borders, more bafflegab, Golden Jesus is going to fix it even if he has to break a few omelettes yadda yadda…”


I’m surprised they didn’t just stay quiet in public (and laugh their asses off in private). China usually seems to keep their cards fairly close to their chest…


These are lifetime positions, are they not?


I’m a vegetarian that’s not quite vegan, but I eat eggs very sparingly.
And that was the case when I was an omnivore as well.


Yeah, but is she sufficiently white?


Why wouldn’t they be?


That’s the one.


Lots of people were saying Project 2025 was a “conspiracy theory” and would not even look at the PDF.
Donvict, who was lying his fat ass off, said he didn’t even know what it was.
And people thought Donvict was just going to give them cheap eggs.


Yeah, they spent most of the decade trying to get Bill and/or Hillary on something and ended up with…a stain on a dress.
As the Clintons have aged and mostly left the stage, that “issue” has mostly lost its effectiveness. I suspect the trans thing will be something that animates them for quite some time. Though with all the white hot rage they have over BLM, Me Too, and losing on the gay marriage thing, I wonder if they won’t rely more on the golden oldies…


Republican is “maga” and “maga” is Republican. No difference.


Oh, they sure AF do. Just talked to one of these dipsticks in person recently. They feel very clever and smug and look forward to accelerating shit into some kind of Marxist utopia.
And of course, the 'net is lousy with these types.
It’s all so dumb.


Oh, FFS, why are these assholes so obsessed with trans?
No wonder the same bunch think Biden had “the worst economy”, LOL. Cannot even recall basic recent history.
