Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?
It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.
I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.
This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.
This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”
Most of us will accept you. Just stop being awful people. It isn’t hard.
They want to be “accepted?” Fucking LOL.
Tell them to fix their hearts or die.
My man, there was room for hard-right current Republicans Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney. You know what their support brought to the ticket last November? Two votes in Wyoming.
“Center right?” Spare me. He was MAGA through and through until 2.0 took hold. This language is explicitly used to reinforce the Overton Window further to the right while still whining that the “left” is mean. Dems are already corporate as fuck and would rather eat their own left of center than fight against full corporate control of the federal government. Simply caring/pretending to care in some cases about minority groups Republicans ostracize is a bridge too far for poor, wayward souls like Joe Walsh. Fuck off.
But also, no. I don’t think Democrats need to be this center right party. Go fix the Republican Party rather than displacing democrats.
Here’s the problem.
Strip Trump and MAGA from the GOP, and what are you left with?
The same shit-ass party that brought us Trump, only less emboldened.
They still want tax cuts for billionaires, no universal health care, no workers rights, no mention about climate change, no rights for LGBTQ people, no women’s rights, no non-white people in America.
Etc.
The only difference between “the party of Reagan” and MAGA is that under Reagan the GOP was much quieter about being assholes.
You know how the US and the USSR were allied against Germany, but the second WWII was over they started pointing their guns at each other? That’s where I feel like we’re at now with “center-right” Republicans like Walsh. Sure, I’ll take the help of anyone who recognizes that Trump is a threat to democracy and the ideals of the US, but the second that’s dealt with there’s gonna be problems.
To be honest, Trump doesn’t even really know what he’s doing. He just blindly signs whatever is put in front of him before he heads out to the golf course.
Yeah, they can fuck off with “just lean right, everybody and we’ll be OK.” They can go form a new party with Slotkin.
This anonymous source sounds like they’re part of the movement of Slotkin and others to make the Democratic Party more palatable to Republicans with buyer’s remorse.
How about, instead, those Republicans stand down and let the Republican Party burn. Without so-called “centrist” support and enabling, Trump won’t take the country down with him.
Everyone who still has an R by their name is a fascist.
They hate you because you’re evil shit bags whose policies hurt children, family’s, and Americans across all socioeconomic spectrums except the top 1%. You’re actively sabotaging the stability of our economy, global influence, safety, and way of life.
They realize they can opose then from with their own party, right?
This is just an excuse to avoid changing their own behavior
It’s real easy, Joe. Just stop voting for his bullshit. As long as you’re enabling him and his fascist regime, no, we’re not going to accept you.
Not me. Those fuckers knew EXACTLY what was coming, even if they were too stupid to believe it. They broke it, they can fix it - not my job to parent MAGAt morons, plus we all know they’ll just vote R next time they get the chance. Only way I WON’T consider them wasted resources is if THEY fix it.
How, you may ask? They can repeat Jan 6 with actual results this time, for starters. Because if we go 4 years with this shit they can go pound fucking sand and off themselves.
Nope. Until you forgive them for being awful, they will continue to do awful things. Everything they do, is your fault. Those are the rules.
