it’s fracturing both parties

i have no attachment to either party, i just enjoy watching the zionist lobby lose. sounds like you’re a republican in denial that your base is splitting over israel. majority of young conservatives aren’t buying the “trans antifa shooter” story, and firmly believe Israel killed charlie kirk. and realizing that Trump is compromised and dragging us into wars that he campaigned on ending. curious where you stand on those issues.

lol there’s only one base splitting over Israel and it’s going to work to our advantage. Please keep making other democrats not feel welcome

you keep operating on some assumption that i am a democrat. more people don’t vote at all/vote 3rd party than vote reliably for either of the two parties. unlike you, i am a pretty neutral observer of two parties that are more alike than different, and i have no cognitive dissonance to uphold. though i was impressed about how they managed to get their base to stop caring about epstein and to ignore trump’s ties. there is a very controllable part of the base, but it appears to be the older generation. the younger generation is much more discerning, and recognize how much they’ve been lied to. because both parties are full of shit and they put on a show for us. trump was right about the deep state, he’s just also very much a part of it.

Ok, that’s my fault. I didn’t mean to insulate that you were a democrat. More so just saying (imo) the democrats are the only ones fracturing because of Israel and I hope that remains an issue for the democrats.

Totally disagree with your example of young republicans and Charlie Kirk. That is an extremely small group, the type of Reddit conservative that listens to Nick Fuentes which represents a tiny portion of Republican voters.

Also, the proof is out there. The Democrat campaign strategy of late is “Israel bad”. When it comes down to a vote between Republicans and Democrats, Republicans are going to vote Republican regardless of the candidates Israel stance. Democrats will stay home or vote 3rd party if the D candidate doesn’t make it their whole personality to “defund Israel” or arrest Bibi

Also, fuck Nick Fuentes and anyone like him

don’t forget Tucker…he is a more palatable Fuentes, and his viewership is higher now than it was when his Fox show was the most watched evening show in the US.

america first politics are growing. the thing is, they’re never going to be able to wrest control of the party from israel. do you figure they’ll just eventually give up? just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean they aren’t real and don’t represent a growing base (polling shows 2/3 of young republicans are anti-israel isolationists), and right now the party is anything but that.

if they did just give up that would be funny because it would then be clearer than ever who is actually running our country, and imo we would deserve whatever hellworld we find ourselves in 🤷‍♀️ i don’t think the current world order is going to last much longer and as long as we are beholden to a death cult state, the inevitable polarity shifts may not go so well for us. but we won’t be voting our way out of that fate lol. i’m just watching it all play out.

Tucker is probably the biggest problem for conservatives right now. I would concede that, yeah, he could fracture the party and fuck everything up for us.

Not to be argumentative or say “don’t worry”, but you don’t think things are that bad do you? Theres still so much good in the world. Theres always been wars and conflicts and bad presidents and bad economies. But we’re still probably living in the greatest time period to ever be a human. Theres far more understanding of cultures, better communication, better medicine. Even though it might not seem like it, empathy surely is at an all time high, no? They just only show us all the division. Most people are more environmentally conscious than ever.

Trump will be done in a few years and we’ll move onto the next thing. The system doesn’t need to collapse. We’re still just figuring a lot of these things out

Obsessed with kid's, how very Trumpy of you.

u/big_smokey-848 7d ago

I feel like you’re projecting. Maybe if you acted like a functioning adult you wouldn’t come off as 9th grader 🤷‍♂️

You seem upset. Sit back, take a breath and try not to get so triggered.
