The Republican Party post Trump?

Or not owning a dog.

@WuWei

As far as policy, the GOP is out of touch and leaving a huge demographic out in the cold. They need to get with the times.

I agree with you here, although let’s be clear it’s not like most of the country is in love with today’s open borders, high taxes, wealthy elite, socialist Democratic party.

What war did Obama start? Is ordering strikes a war?

You’ll pardon me for being so amazed by the thought that you would even argue that Obama didn’t start any new wars, restart others, and ramp up others still, resulting in millions dead and displaced, along with the real possibility of the US going to war with a nuclear-capable country.

I should’ve expected that.

Assuming Biden has this, it will be interesting to see what great new pressures Biden is going to put on Russia. They must really be something because we have been informed for four years now that Trump was Biden’s puppet (or something more gross). So what is the new squeeze that Biden is going to put on Russia…and is he going to force them to give back the Crimea and eastern portions of Ukraine? I am expecting some real action here, now that we have a President that isn’t Putin’s puppet.

It probably depends on how much money they pay his son. 10% for the Big Guy, of course.

It’s been interesting to watch the transformation of the Republican party over the past few years.

True, but that’s nothing compared to what’s coming for what used to be the dem party.

Meh - I don’t really care about whatever may happen with the democratic party. I’d just as soon do away with political parties altogether for all the good they have done us.

Hell, after the last 4 years, I’m almost to the point where I’m done with politics.

I would love to be able to vote for Republicans again.

What type of agenda and/or policies would do that for you?

A return to long term fiscal responsibility. Not the Borrow and spend that they do now.

Drop the culture war.

That would be a good start.

It’s been interesting to watch the transformation of the Republican party over the past few years. A few of us have remained true to our conservative roots, and have had to part ways with the Republican party as a result. I genuinely do hope they can one day return to their conservative roots, though admittedly I’m not too hopeful.

In your mind what exactly are the “conservative roots” you speak of?

@zantax

Still no articulation of how the party is different now then when he showed up, if he is gone.

It is an interesting question. Time will tell whether the party evolves into something different, or just persists in Trumpism with a different suit.

That’s the thing, what is Trumpism minus Trump?

They weren’t spending too much before Trump showed up? They weren’t complaining about cultural trends they didn’t like before Trump? Because my memory says otherwise. There is no Trumpism to hide behind if he is out.

I’m sure Putin must ■■■■■■■■ in his pants at the thought of standing face to face with old and frail brain dead Joe.

[WuWei]

You really think that’s appropriate?

[WuWei]

@WuWei

What conservative principle of yours drove you to vote for Joe Biden?

In case you missed it.

It was always there. Trump just exploited it, gave it a face and a name. Now it’s moved from the fringe right to the dominant sect.

I’m hopeful that the GOP returns to its conservatives roots. But it seems like it may extend well past Trumpism.

Trumpism was only the symptom of a greater malady - the disease was years of Republican capitulation to the unfettered march of the progressive movement in the Democratic party. If it hadn’t been Trump, another would have eventually filled the same disruptor role. I suspect that people like you and me are fairly close ideologically, but perceive the seriousness of that threat differently. There was never going to be any “heal the nation” effort, nor any attempts at actual policy debates once a President Harris administration is sworn in. They’ll go right back to steamrolling the nation as soon as they have the numbers to do so, which is why any vote for them to restore civility was always futile.

Biden is talking crap that the right is not his enemy.
I beg to differ. I am certainly his enemy. I didn’t say obama is not my president.

Biden or Harris will never be my president since they stole the election. They are NOT legitimate. Never will be.

@SixFoot

A conservative would’ve voted third party.

Tried that four years ago and got Trump. He is destroying the institutions that made this country great and his acolytes are blind to it. We CAN’T do worse than him.

Bullcrap, you have never been a conservative IMO.

If you vote Biden you presently are a socialist.

Show the evidence, or else this is just whiny codswallop.
