Try electing someone who doesn't openly despise and antagonise people who are different from them

but then that person wouldn't represent them
It's one thing to act like a child at the State of the Union and yell "liar". But what makes it worse is she yelled that in response to a comment that is demonstrably and irrefutably correct. Doesn't she pay attention to written and signed proposals from Republican members of the Senate and the House. >

My Fox News addicted mother thinks he actually was lying lmao. I’ve told her a million times to stop talking about politics with me but she did anyway about this so I told her “I thought republicans admire a president who tells it like it is?” — no response. Oops! >

I can relate. My mother is the same way. The sad part is she cares so much about American politics even though we’re Canadian. But she hates the current Canadian government so it’s like twice the hate for the price of one. >

This is the one that baffles me. I have people I used to be good friends with that I rarely talk with anymore because all they want to talk about is Trump and American politics.  They'll go on a soapbox for every little thing in the states and talk constitutional rights but don't seem to realize that's not our constitution and there's plenty of things happening in canada that should warrant your attention instead >

To the few people that were left in my life that I actually spoke to who are very far right I proposed the following questions:
What does woke mean?
Define socialism
Define fascist
I explained that if they can define those terms by dictionary standards we can talk politics. If they can't, we wont. 
Final outcome, none of them could define ANY of the terms and all no longer speak to me. I'll live. >

I ask them to define it in their own words, so they can't just copy an answer from somewhere without thinking about it >

Wtf it’s politics bro, not homework. /s >

To be fair, that is (more or less) their response. Or "I'm not gonna do your work for you!" or "If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!" >

It pays to play naive, like: "oh this woke thing sounds terrible, never heard of it, can you explain it to me?". >

Wear a fur coat to a televised event a day after complaining that your salary is too low. >


complaining that your salary is too low

That was for her “corporate sponsors”. She wants a “raise” now that she’s doing committee work. >

Thank you someone finally says exactly what that was >


Hannity: Not a single Republican has ever said they want to take away your Social Security.. 
Mike Lee: It will be my objective to phase out Social Security. To pull it up by the roots and get rid of it.

Damn. Even reality has a liberal bias. >

Yep. That’s why r/conservative is a safe space where the only commenters allowed to participate have FJB flair. >

All far right forums are conservative safe spaces. I can guarantee I can get banned within 5 posts by pointing out facts and reality from any of them. >

5 is generous. 1 will do the trick >

It took me three! If your lucky it takes 1 comment not even in the sub. >

I had 1 post and instant ban after stating facts with links. The banned was because (i can't make fun of those just because of their political views). Facts are now offensive to conservatives. >

That was how I got banned from rAskThe_Donald, the mod said outright my post citing studies of right wing violence outnumbering left wing by an order of magnitude was banned because "this isn't your place to attack conservatives". >

Can't have those facts now. >

I particularly enjoyed the few cutaway shots of MTG, Boebert, and Cruz where they looked like they were loaded up on box wine at an Oprah taping. >


the few cutaway shots of MTG,

You forgot to mention this one also was apparently trying out her (low effort) Cruella de Vile cosplay.😏 >

a lot of people were (rightfully) furious about time spent on MTG. She doesn't deserve this platform.
I, meanwhile, am chuckling at the fact that MTG so adamantly DOES NOT represent the ideal woman from a conservative point of view, and the more she whines about not being paid enough while wearing absurd flamboyant looks like that, the more she drives a wedge between her and a lot of conservatives.
They aren't voting for policy, they're voting for people they believe are "in" their group, and she is moving further and further from "in" >

As long as she has that (R) at the voting booth shes not gonna be moving that far for the brain dead voters in her district who only care about "owning the libs" >

Eh, perhaps. Don't get me wrong, I literally just wrote a post completely cynical about the idea that republicans will in any way not immediately pivot back to cutting these programs, things like that.
But MTG is aiming ONLY to the "own the libs" base, and the more that is escalated on a national stage, the worse others look. Her district, sure, red AF and not dumping her. But the more the party identifies with her from the far end, a bunch of others are alienated.
Trump won because he fired up the worst of the worst AND was something that the establishment thought could be made use of. MTG does not have the same appeal with the worst of the worst AND annoys the establishment to a huge degree. The more she pushes that line, the more damage she does to the extremely narrow position the party has in the house. Literally EVERY time the GOP needs some level of cooperation, people are going to point at MTG. >

Trump won them a presidency.
MTG almost cost them a house speaker. 
The GOP will be a lot quicker to try and dump her if they have any survival skills. >

They are currently in the process of elevating her, soooo.... >

Forcing (many of the) Republicans to applaud that SS/Medicare is off the chopping block was chef's kiss.... >

Except they have absolutely zero morals or ethics so what's to stop them from doing it anyway >

The veto pen. But yeah, they will literally lie to your face. It's good to get your opposition on the record, whether it's for or against something, because you can use it against them. Just like Republicans will use how 100+ House Democrats voted against 'denouncing socialism'.. we all know it was a stupid/bs vote, but that won't stop R's from using that vote against Dem's in upcoming elections. >

And when they do, Dems need to be EVERYWHERE calling them out on it! >

lol as if that’ll happen. That implies that democrats actually want to win >

Its true messaging hasn't been their strong suit. No time like the present to change it! >


Many of the Republican House members behaved like they were at a WWE wrestling match instead of a joint session of Congress.

This- while hilarious- is what so many conservatives in my area don't understand. Don't understand why people think that they are trashy and don't like them.... and then these are the people that they elect to represent them and continue to support. Quit jerking off to it and elect someone that doesn't remind me of Lahey from Trailer Park Boys. >

SOTU is the dog and pony show of all dog and pony shows. I haven't watched one for probably 10+ years and get what I need in 10 minutes from a summary article. >


SOTU is the dog and pony show of all dog and pony shows.

Now that you mention it, I've never seen anyone act this trashy at a dog show either. >

But were there also ponies? >

one pretty big greyhound >

Kadyrov would probably ride a Borzoi into a non-warzone >

I thought MTGs white hood was perfect. I think she’s had practice wearing one. >

It was her Cruella Deville look. >

Made with seal pups >

Moscow Ice Queen >

I'm so glad calling extremists out has finally become  mainstream Democrat behavior. >

it always was... >

"Nobody's looking at me!" - MTG >

"...and my expensive white fur collared coat that I'm wearing even though I don't need right now." >

But she's miserably underpaid. >

She had to make that fur coat herself out of puppies! The indignity. >

Puppies that she shot with her own gun.  The same gun that she would've shot down the Chinese spy balloon with. >

The GOP gave away the farm last night.  It doesn't matter what the GOP says they're for or against, because their words mean nothing.  Listen to Biden's speech and see what they (reluctantly) applauded vs. what they sat on their hands for.   That will tell you where the GOP's true priorities lie. >

i'm at work—do you mind quickly explaining what happened? >

I remember GOP/McCarthy refusing to applaud raising teachers wages, sending more technology to the border to try to stop fentanyl, not applauding new jobs or supporting democracy around the world and hesitating then unenthusiastically applauding schools having clean drinking water.  
It was absurd. >

Was MTG dressed as a spy balloon? >

🤣 I got Russian mafia moll >

Like Ivana Humpalot 😂 >

Lady Maga >

If Sleepy Joe just outsmarted a room full of Republicans, does that automatically make the Republicans seni-senile? >

Republicans should take a moment and realize, understand that you are the reason Biden is so appealing. Every time you guys boo him and detract from him we ask ourselves why? And when we do we see he's right way too often and think this guy isn't so bad after all. It's hard to complain about Biden when you haven't offered us anyone better. Trump is a trainwreck, an impulsive and short sighted pathological liar. DeSantis is arguably even worse. Try electing someone who doesn't openly despise and antagonise people who are different from them. It's a lot different than Democrats antagonizing Republicans for their beliefs because we choose what we believe. Republicans attack people for being trans, woke, gay, black or female. That's way worse because people don't choose those things.
