You are partially correct. I agree with most of what you say here (and what you said surprised me given your history), but when it comes to politicians and stuff that actually matters, we need to get them on the record to make it as costly as possible for them to go back on their word.
Whether or not you are on Gab does not actually matter.
These people will never be happy, if even Mastriano is not enough for them. Like SJWs, they will never be satisfied, and no sane person should try to satisfy them.
The reason people are paranoid about this is because we've been burned countless times by Republican politicians who don't live up to the hype. This particular incident is minor enough that, if I could vote in this election, I'd probably still turn out for it.
However, it is a borderline red flag. I'd save the outrage for him doing shitty things after being elected, though. If electoral politics is going to do anything of value, right-wing voters need to have a more adversarial relationship with our politicians and be ready to nuke their political careers when they start fagging out on policies.
I am pretty sure the one issue that Doug Mastriano will never cuck out on is election integrity.
His speeches during the stolen election literally won him the primary.
I wanted Barletta in the PA gov primaries because I thought Mastriano's campaign was too focused on 2020 stolen election but damn he won the primary and pivoted to also talk a lot more on inflation and crime.
Mastriano was one of the candidates who I thought cannot win in the beginning but he is running a good campaign in a must win state for us.
I pretty much never get pissed when someone attacks a politician but Mastriano is working his ass off to stop mail in ballots and we have our own guys mad about his comments about Gab. Priorities people.
They do not care about 'purity' for its own sake. They claim to care about 'purity' to try to pretend that they're better than the next guy. Same way the SJWs always claim to be more anti-racist than the next guy.
It's called being a bloody idiot, and not focusing on what actually matters.
Mastriano is very likely going to lose because he is too far to the right for Pennsylvania. It was a mistake to nominate him in the first place. But to say that he is not right-wing enough is the rankest of stupidity that you will be able to find.
My opinion is that Mastriano actually has a 55 percent shot of winning.
Many of the PA Republican leaders who shunned him in the primaries are coming home and he is finally getting good fundraising support.
The fundamentals of the race favor him: incumbent President is hated in PA, gas prices too high, his opponent is an Attorney General who is weak on violent crime. Shapiro is also running a shitty McAuliffe type campaign focused only on abortion and attacking Mastriano on Jan 6.
I thought Mastriano would be doomed in the general but looking at his campaign, he is doing much better than expected.
If things continue and Mastriano continues to hit the ground with the grassroots and Shapiro continues to bitch about abortion and 1/6, we will be saying Governor Mastriano next year.
But to say that he is not right-wing enough is the rankest of stupidity that you will be able to find.
You've got people on here who say the same thing about Trump. "He lost votes because he abandoned his White base to give money to minorities who wouldn't vote for him anyway!" I can't tell if they are serious or working for the other team.
Ive noticed a lot of people who are vocal on kia2 care more about purity than winning.
Idiots.
You cannot govern with right wing values if you don't even win first.
I see right wing populists shoot themselves in the foot by going all in on meaningless shit like Gab.
Andrew Torba is an idiot because he says things out loud that the normies can't accept.
Being tied to him is poison and my fellow right wing populists cannot see this.
I am becoming increasingly more disillusioned with the right wing populist movement in the U.S.
We need to win first. Crying about condemning Gab and Andrew Torba is pointless.
We need the votes of atleast a few normies to win and we have populists thinking Trump's base is enough to win even swing states.
They don't understand basic electoral politics.
In other words hide your power level.
Yes you cannot win without hiding your power level.

No it's called not accepting the continued weakness of conservatives
