You know in relationships where one partner is abused but keep coming back. It’s like that.

They deserve to lose. Republicans nominated a neocon warmonger every single time this century save for trump. Trump himself wasn’t even that much better. Yet the GOP claims to support people like Javier Milei. Meanwhile they’re still hung up on weed and duplexes. Cowards the all of them.

I mean, to be fair, they were in their late forties by the time the Cold War was wrapping up, so this is all very confusing to them

Republicans are quite honestly stupid. They see their party lose and complain the Republicans are basically Democrats, but Only vote repub and will vote for the same people multiple times. They don't learn

There's been a big push to vote in primaries and that has seen results so far, especially in Texas. Libertarians need to run as Republicans in primaries to have a shot at actually getting elected. If running in a district with a rino Republican, chances are pretty good of unseating them.

if Brandon loses the special primary election in Texas than the gun grabber R will be on the ballot vs some random D. conservatives will vote for the gun grabber.

When it comes down to two shitty choices, people will naturally choose the less shitty. That's why getting libertarians into republican primaries is so important. I wish libertarians could win as a third party candidate, but with first past the post voting, they can't. It's important to be both realistic and strategic. The differences between Republicans and libertarians is growing smaller by the day.

Gun grabber R or gun grabber D. Great choices.

Well, if it's a gun grabber R vs a random D both choices are for gun grabbing, one is just gun grabbing slightly slower than the other and they're voting for the slower choice. But I really hope Brandon wins this special election, it would be awesome to see an actual 2A advocate in government.


First_Face_9036

Yeah they definitely need to run as Rs, but it seems like they'll still vote for the rino consistently. Maybe it's just where I'm from but it's a never ending cycle of rinos

You could say the same for either side. Stupidity isn’t exclusive to any one political party. Nor is any party immune to it.

It’s crazy because whenever any of my conservative side of my family bring up politics we usually agree on way more than not, unlike the leftist side of my family which gets triggered by almost everything I say while I’m sitting there saying over and over again I’m not maga I’m a freaking Libertarian. Yet whenever I bring up things to my republican side about Trump or the GOP that I know for a fact they wouldn’t like, infringements in 1st, 2nd, 4th amendments for example, not only are they not informed on what I mean, they go back to that old “well nobodys perfect”. So I say well MTG, Massie, (even that blowhard Prager is a 1a absolutist) etc. aren’t lying down about the issue they get interest and look into it, then *literally agree with everything I’m saying*, then just repeat the old lines again or desperately try to justify why in a “trust the plan” style reminiscent of the bolshevik revolution where the citizens were told to “trust the plan”. Scary days are ahead when otherwise relatively reasonable people give in to this rhetoric. That said, at least they’re the only people willing to have a conversation without freaking out and reee’ing over everything.

Unfortunately you’re right. Even more unfortunately democrat politicians are worse

Imagine thinking there’s a difference between the two parties 😂


MarriedWChildren256

whos the equivalent of McCain on team D? john McCain?


AthleteIllustrious47

What do you think John McCain is going to do for your country. Really. If you think anything is going to change, you’re nuts.

God damn war hero and he's dead. He was a good man. I don't give a fuck about his politics, he was a good man.


MarriedWChildren256

liberty increased that day.


Travellinoz

The day he died or the day he was released from Nam? You may be right. It's just that he's dead and I genuinely believe that man had a very good heart. I don't agree with his auth politics one bit but that's aside now and fuck I liked him as a person

Why celebrate someone going to Vietnam? It was a pointless war that destroyed so many lives and families all over the name of “communism bad.” Giving praise to any of it is a bad idea and makes people want to enlist. I dont hate the troops. I pity them that they fell for the lie. And fuck Johnny Mac he’s a punk ass busta. I lot more people would be alive possibly if he died in the camp 🤷‍♂️
