I can say this isn't true, or at least it wasn't last month when I was in Florida, did not meet DeSantis, and did not think he should be President. barfo
First R debate tonight. I am crossing my fingers that it begins the institutional dismantling of Trump for everyday members of the party. I'm not a Republican, nor will I be watching this gathering of wannabe fascists, but any move towards some sort of civil decency would be greatly appreciated. Let's be real though, nobody is going to denounce anyone of any importance..
I already cleaned the cat box today and refrigerator yesterday. But I am sure I can find something to do. Knit. Read. Watch baseball.
I think Christie is making the smarter move...most, if not all of the other candidates have been either refusing to condemn Trump or dancing around the subject. And once/if Trump bows out Christie will try to remind/convince everyone that he was way ahead of the curve because he was the only one of the candidates who was not afraid to condemn Trump for what he was early in the race. And considering his skyrocketing legal fees, I also predict that Trump will threaten to run as an independent and refuse to throw his support to the eventual nominee unless the GOP pays him off.
Trump is in the lead by ridiculous margins, what makes you think he will simply bow out? You do realize conservatives vote for conservative candidates, right? Lol. Christie is running on a tired platform of Trump bashing that was beat to death by democrats years ago. He’s literally just an establishment plant at this point and everyone sees it (except democrats). It’s amazing to me you think he’s on the forefront of something special while he’s a failed governor of arguably the most corrupt state, has no platform and is polling near zero percent.
I wish conservatives actually would vote for conservative candidates. Unfortunately the cult of personality and fearmongering has drowned out any legitimate conservatives.
Because even he probably knows that even if he gets the nomination, he's "not electable". He got beat in 2020, what makes you think he's somehow picked up more support since 1/6/21? He will bow out because of the above reason, and again because he's gonna need the money, also cited above. .
I don’t know what this means really. What would be your definition of a conservative? I generally take issue with any mainstream democrat-republican comparisons because I find them to be nothing more than a distraction. It’s much more clear for me to parse between establishment or non-establishment politicians based on career history and voting history. I realize this forum is extremely mainstream friendly and I never expect wild ideas like that to make sense or track here but it’s generally my lens for viewing political ideas and actors. It seems many mainstream voters become extremely agitated and even perhaps scared when the sanctity of the two party paradigm is called into question. Must be a boomer comfort thing. They would almost rather watch the world explode and the younger generations OD or live in shipping crates than be even mildly inconvenienced by change.
Florida allows permitless carry. No safety training needed. Because freedom. Then spent $16 million in taxpayers' money for bulletproof glass in governor's residence.
Neo-Nazis March Through Florida Park https://www.newsbreak.com/news/3144..."platform":1,"cv":"23.35.0","languages":"en"} A large group of neo-Nazis wearing red and waving flags with swastikas marched through Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on Saturday shouting “we are everywhere,” according to a video shared by a state lawmaker. Carlos Guillermo Smith, a former member of the Florida House of Representatives, said in a tweet that the demonstrators were raising “Heil Hitler” salutes. State Rep. Anna V. Eskamani cited the incident as an “absolutely disgusting … example of the far right extremism growing in FL.” “Florida is our home and I refuse to hand it over to extremists. We have to stand united against antisemitism, anti-Blackness, and anti-LGBTQ bigotry in order to take our state back,” Guillermo Smith said. In anticipation for Labor Day, the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Center on Extremism issued a statement on Friday warning that two extremist groups—known as the Goyim Defense League and Blood Tribe— were “planning to gather in Florida in September 2023 for a joint, public demonstration(s) they are calling the ‘March of the Redshirts.’” The ADL said the groups would likely march in “high visibility locations” to “attract as much public and media attention as possible.”
He won't get into office. The stinking chaotic Republican party has their own select cult members. If anyone should be selected, Christie has experiences and the muster to take to the Insurrectionist. At least he is a Republican.
I wonder why these neo-nazi's wear masks?....hmmm, "I'll take because they're cowards, for $1000, Alex."
