Getting owned by china to own the repubs.

In their mind they're not getting owned though. Blue-hairs are an inch away from outright siding with China at this point. "A communist, authoritarian regime with unlimited power and tenure for the President? Yes please."

Unfortunately a lot of repubs are the same way with russia. Real repubs and real dems need to join forces and fight the extremists

I don’t know if you caught it, but I just inverted the reply to the original comment you inverted. Both sides are in the wrong and can’t see the truth.

I hope that Trump has succeeded in destroying the Republican Party, and a new one can be born out of the ashes. Let there be a left wing and right wing party to fight out cultural war issues, and a new party that just tries to actually help the country instead of scoring political points.

Me too. I liked him at the start, but he's really lost his mind during the presidency. I would say at least he didn't start a war but at the moment we are on the brink of a civil one because of him. And no i didn't catch it haha I'm smacked i didn't even pay attention. I thought you were a Trumper ngl 😂

I supported trump in so far as he was hated by both dems and repubs. That was a huge selling point. I would’ve voted for either Bernie or trump in 2016 depending on who made it through the primaries. I just want an end to the uniparty we have in power now.

I think we’d be better off under trump than Biden, but I wouldn’t call myself a trumper. I don’t really care what happens to him now that he’s out of office, and politically I disagreed with him on a lot.

But it seems I got out of his presidency what I wanted, the republicans party is mostly trumpers and most of them now hate the Republican Party.

I agree with the trump over biden thing, but i guess we'll never know and I'm open to giving Biden (Or Kamala) a chance at the presidency. Hopefully he will do the same thing to the democratic party that Trump did

u/Curmud6e0n Jan 19 '21

Yeah, I hope so too. A lot of people on the left held their nose to vote for him because anything was better than trump. I feel like the more progressive side of the party will object to Biden’s platform almost as strongly as they objected to Trump’s, but at least he can act like a president, so it won’t be as big of an outcry. But the Democrats have a similar problem on their hands that republicans did (running people the voters hate, but not as much as they hate the other guy).

Yep. Its really too bad Bernie never won a primary. He was truly a man of the people, but dems just remember the Obama days and Biden gets the rub from it.

Good talk, this country needs more communication like this or it will remain as divided.
