Re: Hmmm...maybe the Senate can be held?
Hmmmmmm So let me get this straight? Inflation all time high......gas prices have been at an all time high. STILL higher then pre pandemic levels. Crime up, With inflation the new normal "minimum wage" was wiped out and is basically back to the same value it was.....that didn't last long did it? I predict in a year or two people will be clamoring that we need a "living wage" again. Biden has the worst approval ratings in God only knows how long.....and yet.....YET! the OP say's everything is great!
Trump blaming everyone else? Biden blame's inflation on Putin......no?
Infrastructure bills? Never ever move the economy needle. Didn't when Obama spent a trillion on those "shovel ready" jobs. What Biden and the Democrats just did was to put over 700 billion in to the economy to float it. Same thing Obama did. It's an attempt to save the midterms. To fend off the effects of inflation. They simply took their credit card and swiped it. The so called climate change industry wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the American tax payer. It's been a scam from the very beginning. No I am not a climate change denier. No, the climate has absolutely changed......I just don't think we can spend trillions of dollars and somehow manipulate mother nature.....call me crazy!

Re: Hmmm...maybe the Senate can be held?
Just playing devil's advocate:
How democracies turn into Dictatorships/Authoritarian Rule:
1) Political polarization and radicalization - where the competing political sides no longer want to cooperate with one another, allowing violent or extremist groups to take over politics instead
2) Dissatisfied Elites - people in important positions in society such as political leadership, business, finance, religion, or the military feel that the democratic system no longer “works” for them; the system is at odds with their financial or political interests
3) Perverting Elections - baseless fraud claims; opaque financing, and manipulation of electoral rules have undercut faith in democratic balloting
4) Attacking Media Freedom - Independent media have suffered from attacks on journalists
5) Undermining the Rule of Law - Politicians and governments have weekend judicial independence and sough impunity for corruption
6) Discrimination and Mistreatment of Migrants - Marginalized communities face discrimination in a variety of areas, from political participation to asylum rights

Re: Hmmm...maybe the Senate can be held?
For me, the word "policies" is like the get out of jail for free card for those folks who know deep inside that some of this crap and people are bat sh*t crazy. So they fall back on, oh we like the policies. It is cover so that one doesn't have to admit that some of these MAGA folks/leaders are clowns (Trump, Alex Jones, the pillow guy, MTG, Bobert, Gaetz, Hershel Walker, Rudy G, Bannon, Flynn, and etc)
To answer your question though, sorry for the rant...
The MAGA folks are redefining what it means to be a conservative. The old school folks are more intellectual, financially tight, vanilla not flamboyant, by the book not going outside of legal lines and norms, country before party.
The MAGA folks are opposite of everything above. Trumps flaws as a person in terms of morals, legality, and scruples have been infused into what it means to be republican and conservative. To be clear, when i say MAGA folks, im talking about the leaders who are out front...NOT THE FOLLOWERS, the regular people.
Hell, a rock-ribbed conservative with a 95% voting percentage with Trump; Liz Chaney; is now a RINO. Why, because she isn't loyal. So now, loyalty is the most important trait to be considered a conservative. That is the difference

Re: Hmmm...maybe the Senate can be held?
Seems you are basically just talking about personality. So basically maga does stuff gop like, but they dont like the style in which they did it?
Its like policy doesnt seem to matter to you. I would say policy matters mire to gop ers tham dems. Dems seem to care about feelings more. That could be why uou see the divide

Re: Hmmm...maybe the Senate can be held?
Don't count your chickens just yet. They have to win General Election first. One poster, who probably agrees with most of your points of view, is already thinking the GOP won't win the Senate. Why? Because of the clowns that Trump endorsed. Dr. OZ, Mr. Walker, Masters in AZ to name few.
The problem is that Trump cares more about convincing the masses he didn't lose than winning elections. That's why there are two democratic Senators in Georgia. And probably why the senate will be held by the dems.

Re: Hmmm...maybe the Senate can be held?
You have absolutely no clue what the GOP is today or Trump's voter base. First off no one in the Republican party would claim Alex Jones as their own......You couldn't be any more off if you outright tried. As you see most of those commenting can not take you serious......why? Because you are so off base. See here's the thing, how can you say these things with a straight face when you have Biden as the current President? You and other Democrats do exactly what you accuse others of doing. Did you not forget who the Vice President was when they concocted the Russia/collusion story on Trump? Spied on a political opponent? he words of your President......."come on man!
If one of the Trump boys done what Hunter Biden has done there would be an outcry like never before. Also, if Trump was President and we had the exact same current economic situation, the same foreign policy situation the Democrats would be having another swing at impeaching Trump. Your post drip with hypocrisy.

Re: Hmmm...maybe the Senate can be held?
Lol. Are you just trolling at this point? You clearly have no clue what the MAGA movement is about or even what the establishment GOP is about.
Stop watching CNNMSNBC and reading Salon and Buzzfeed.
Seriously, this is so far off base there isn't even an area to debate. The movement isnt about Trump. He started it, but its much bigger than him and it's all about policies.
For me, when someone puts something out here as ridiculous as this, it's because they don't have the ability to engage in intellectual debate, and they are hopelessly brainwashed by the MSM. These are the rants of someone with TDS. Someone obsessed with hating Trump.
And Liz Cheney is a bitter lying POS, who is the definition of a Neocon RINO.
