If I was a Rightie..........

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Ok, but they define themselves, right? Republicans call "non-MAGA" rinos and now uniparty. The only real difference is that one is alt-Right and the other at least clings to their failing notion of conservatism.

The "moderates" like to pretend that they are not of MAGA, yet they created this. This was the political extremism that they pushed as a political platform. MAGA simply fit into the environment. "Moderates" supported Trump in 2016. They supported him again in 2020. They forgave him his second impeachment even after Jan 6. And although plenty have said they they will not vote for Trump a third time, such as his own Vice President or Nikky Haley supporters, most will default to their blind Party loyalty behind the closed curtain and support Trump again. Whether they claim the label or not, they are all guilty for creating it and remaining silent as the loudest voices run roughshod all over them in Congress and dare them to speak out. Trump merely snapped his finger over the border security Bill, and they adjusted. I don't know of any Republican Congressperson or Senator who has stood up and said, "I am not MAGA" (as Boebert proudly declares that "we" prefer to be called "Ultra Maga."

I think when we witnessed average conservatives rub shoulders with neo-Nazis at Trump rallies, when they defended Trump later for saying "good people on both sides," they became simply the MAGA Party, which morphed into the now Trump Party. I hear he is now a Bible Trumper. Because, now, "we must Make America Pray Again." The website say's that the money will not be used for any political campaign. In other words, it foes directly to Trump's draining pockets. The man is so beyond obvious, yet none of the Righties in D.C. will say a word.

Okay, point well taken

Was I preachy? I do try not to be preachy. It's a problem I have.

 

[americanwoman]

I mean if I was one of those on the far right, not just right of center, not just a conservative, but a Rightie (my own definition btw), what characteristics would one expect me to display?

I'd vape and give hand jobs during a Beetlejuice musical performance.





Oh shit..... does that mean..... I am a far rightie?

I am not accusing you of being preachy, I said "point well taken" and bowed because it WAS a point, and it was well taken.
Your argument made more sense than mine did.

 

[BabaVoss]

I don't know what a "Righty" is.

These days its more like "Reichy".

All I remember is you're a lady who said a guy would need a first aid kit if you ever decided to give him a go, and meanwhile all the Far Right has is Ben Shapiro.

****ing Canadians.

 

[LouC]

you know ... he is mean, and a name caller, he's kinda hateful and I dunno on intolerance ... but he's all of those words, I agree

good thing I don't have to insist on those qualities in someone to be a CEO or leader or president. One of THE BEST managers I've ever had I didn't like at all on a personal level

But Trump was one of the worst managers America ever had.

 

[Overitall]

They just might start that process with next year's election. I hope to see Trump leading this country and Poilievre leading theirs. Both would be such a good step in the right direction. But, based on many a comment some Canadians have made, it's clear both would make some Canadians on this forum mighty grumpy.

I guess Canadians are worried we might mess up their world. Perhaps we should just annex Canada into the US. Then they may be able to change things to the way they like it. Of course you have the Thatcher principle "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." Canada only cares about our money. They need it to avoid bankruptcy.

What is that I hear? Do you hear it too? It's definitely sounding like............

Trolling is your only game. I'm not whining about it because I know you won't ever acknowledge it.

I would not have blamed you, though. I sometimes feel preachy.

80 million will vote in November because we remember before Bidenflation, 800,000 dead from covid, war in Ukraine, war in Israel and record numbers of illegals coming to the USA

Trump years were good years for me and many Americans

Not me...I don't like Poilievre and sure as hell won't vote for him but his election won't make me grumpy. We have enough sane members of Parliament and our PM is not empowered with any special powers of consequence. I'm hoping for a minority government but that looks unlikely right now. Trudeau deserves to lose and when he does he will either be ousted as leader or resign....fine by me

I WAS a rightie lol. I read mises.org on a near daily basis but eh time is funny that way.

Yep. Maga just fit in with the natural flow of the republican party.

I like when American Righties try to compare Canadian Conservatives to their own sorry excuse for a party.
Poilievre would be a woke progressive compared to that sorry lot.
