Trump is a fucking loser who lost to a senile old hair sniffer - the weakest opponent in electoral history
Dude, the Democrats are saying that Biden - with his moderate persona - was the only one who could have beaten Trump. In the worst economic depression since 1930, with a media and billionaire class in the tank against him like no other, and a once-in-a-century pandemic that allowed the senile idiot to hide in his basement.
And still he almost pulled it off. Trump's performance in 2020 was impressive.
and then he spent the last 1.5 years crying about it and not moving on
Yes, he really needs to shut up about the so called stolen election.
Trump also wanted to waste taxpayer money like a drunken sailor on COVID "stimulus", just like Biden, against going against conservatives on this issue.
Conservatives believe that Goldman Sachs needs a tax cuts, while ordinary people need to be taxed more (Rick Scott). They are jokes. Trump was right. And if Cocaine Mitch had actually moved on giving ordinary people checks, he may have won.
DeSantis is the best option we have right now. If another one comes along, great, but if the election was held tomorrow, every rational right winger would back DeSantis, and in DeSantis vs Trump it's a no brainer. My #2 after DeSantis would be Rand Paul.
I have Strange New Respect for Rand Paul due to his foreign policy views and his opposition to the Disinformation Board (and at the same time am surprised that you support him, given Ukraine). But let's be real here. A guy with negative charisma and a dead ferret on his head dis not going to be elected President. I wish he would be. But he won't. He also seems to have principles, which is a major weakness for a presidential candidate.
Dude, the Democrats are saying that Biden - with his moderate persona - was the only one who could have beaten Trump.
The Democrat elites knew Biden was shit. The reason they put him up was
to stop Bernie, who the Democrat elites actually fear. But pretty much anyone else would have won against Trump, including losers like Kamala Harris, simply by being "not Trump".
Because Biden was an easily controllable puppet they could back door their far left agenda through.
And still he almost pulled it off. Trump's performance in 2020 was impressive.
Only in the context of all of his fuck-ups. Any other mainstream Republican would have coasted to an easy victory.
Yes, he really needs to shut up about the so called stolen election.
This has damaged him a lot. If he had conceded and went on a charm offensive, I might have given him a second chance. But since he acted like a child since he lost, it just confirms that a lot of his critics are right, and now that he isn't an incumbent, I'm not stuck having to support him anymore. It's just so tiresome seeing him constantly pick losing battles (because he fights every battle, even obvious baited traps) and make unforced errors.
Conservatives believe that Goldman Sachs needs a tax cuts, while ordinary people need to be taxed more (Rick Scott).
That's false, and a Democrat talking point. Rick Scott is correct that everyone should pay taxes. If half of Americans don't pay any taxes at all, which is the trend, then we will have a permanent class of Democrat-voting "takers" who never complain about taxes because they don't pay any.
And idk why you want to bring up "Goldman Sachs". Republicans never advocate for special tax benefits for Goldman Sachs. They want a simplified tax system that is more fair, without all the bullshit care-outs and subsidies. Government should not play favorites or pick winners.
They are jokes. Trump was right. And if Cocaine Mitch had actually moved on giving ordinary people checks, he may have won.
That's your socialism showing. Thank God Americans aren't like you in that regard. I don't want to live in some shitty socialist country where government is mommy & daddy. Freedom can never truly exist in a socialist country. Consolidation of power in the central government is an inherent evil.
I have Strange New Respect for Rand Paul due to his foreign policy views and his opposition to the Disinformation Board (and at the same time am surprised that you support him, given Ukraine).
I advocated for and supported Paul in his opposition to the $40B Ukraine slush fund, because everything Paul was saying about it was true. And that is with me still wanting to nut punch Russia over the invasion. It was wasteful, pork barrel spending with huge slush funds for Biden, the State Dept, and USAID that should never have been part of it. Only like $10B was even for Ukraine military aid.
I don't like Rand Paul's "isolationist" attitude because it is naive, but he is second to none when it comes to the fight against socialism. As long as Rand Paul would not betray Taiwan and kowtow to China, I'd be 100% happy with him.
A guy with negative charisma and a dead ferret on his head dis not going to be elected President.
Joe Biden is that + he sniffs little girls, and he got elected. I want another Ronald Reagan to show up and make this easy, but you have to play the hand you're dealt. I think the R lineup, as imperfect as it is, is still much better than the D lineup now. People like Harris, Beta O Rourke, and Buttgeig are just absolute jokes.
But pretty much anyone else would have won against Trump, including losers like Kamala Harris, simply by being "not Trump".
You're just engaging in polemic. You have no idea who would or would not have won.
Only in the context of all of his fuck-ups. Any other mainstream Republican would have coasted to an easy victory.
No Republican could have won in a year when the economy declined by 30%.
If half of Americans don't pay any taxes at all, which is the trend, then we will have a permanent class of Democrat-voting "takers" who never complain about taxes because they don't pay any.
That's absurd. If you pay $1 in taxes, you won't complain about taxes either, because $1 is not worth complaining about. At the end of the day, you want to soak the poor to pay off the rich, and that's quite reprehensible (though I know you support it not because you're a bad person, but because you're a blind partisan).
They want a simplified tax system that is more fair, without all the bullshit care-outs and subsidies. Government should not play favorites or pick winners.
Sure. But when they hand out $1.5 trillion to Goldman Sachs and others who... desperately need it, they're not on the right path. Particularly whhen Goldman Sachs then turns around and screws the right with its absurd diversity demands.
I don't want to live in some shitty socialist country where government is mommy & daddy. Freedom can never truly exist in a socialist country.
Well, you lost because you regarded giving people the vast sum of $800 as 'socialism'. Which of course has nothing to do with socialism.
I advocated for and supported Paul in his opposition to the $40B Ukraine slush fund,
That is strange. I thought you'd be a big supporter of the $40 billion slush fund.
I don't like Rand Paul's "isolationist" attitude because it is naive, but he is second to none when it comes to the fight against socialism. As long as Rand Paul would not betray Taiwan and kowtow to China
I mean, you act like it's some sort of moral commitment to Taiwan, rather than hard-nosed Realpolitik of trying to prevent the influence of China from spreading. It is not betrayal to not defend Taiwan (though I hope the US does), because princes break their word when it is not in their interests, and Taiwan knows that full well.
I think the R lineup, as imperfect as it is, is still much better than the D lineup now. People like Harris, Beta O Rourke, and Buttgeig are just absolute jokes.
You have to correct for your own bias on that. Harris is unpopular with everyone. The other two, I am not sure.
No Republican could have won in a year when the economy declined by 30%.
It didn't decline by 30%. US GDP was only -3.49% for 2020.
At the end of the day, you want to soak the poor to pay off the rich, and that's quite reprehensible (though I know you support it not because you're a bad person, but because you're a blind partisan).
Now you're just lying to straw man me. Why the fuck do I care about helping "the rich"? I just want a fair tax system, where losers are not subsidized, and winners are not punished. If you are a poor loser, you should be incentivized to go work to improve your position in life, instead of whining to government to take care of you. I don't want to live in a nation full of useless dead weight who contribute nothing and then sit on twitter and reddit all day demanding communism.
Well, you lost because you regarded giving people the vast sum of $800 as 'socialism'. Which of course has nothing to do with socialism.
What are you talking about? The Republicans bowed down to all the spending in 2020, albeit reluctantly, precisely because they feared losing votes. That's not why they lost.
That is strange. I thought you'd be a big supporter of the $40 billion slush fund.
I made a post in KIA2 on Reddit criticizing it and linking Rand Paul's denunciation of it. Maybe you were already banned by then, idk. I can't link it now because I don't have access to the sub. I can be against Russia but also in favor of fiscal responsibility.
I mean, you act like it's some sort of moral commitment to Taiwan, rather than hard-nosed Realpolitik of trying to prevent the influence of China from spreading. It is not betrayal to not defend Taiwan (though I hope the US does), because princes break their word when it is not in their interests, and Taiwan knows that full well.
You think Americans have no principles, and well, the libs don't, but most normal Americans do. And it is still 100% in America's best interests to defend Taiwan to prevent aggression from a resurgent CCP empire even from a realpolitik perspective, but there is also a moral, principled component to it as well. The principles will bring the Right, the emotional virtue signal "feels" will bring the Left.

It is a moral imperative. Americans are (or were) raised to believe that we stand at the tip of the spear to defend freedom and democracy against the evils of communist aggression. You might remember the Cold War, which was still in full swing when I was a child growing up in the 80s.
You think Americans have no principles, and well, the libs don't, but most normal Americans do. And it is still 100% in America's best interests to defend Taiwan to prevent aggression from a resurgent CCP empire even from a realpolitik perspective, but there is also a moral, principled component to it as well.

Ah, so you're a supporter of nazis torturing and murdering ethnic Russians.
lol Putin aint gonna fuck you, bro
