Ok so I'm going to throw myself into the mix to get slammed here but it is what is. We on this forum are a perfect example of why a bumbling old man is now if office and why after 2 years of some of the worst shit I have ever seen in this country, the Republican party should have but didn't run away with the mid-terms.
We are divided, within ourselves and as a party. Regardless of supporting Trump, election fraud or dying for what you believe in, IT ISN'T working. The writing is on the wall and this party better get it's shit together because we haven't even seen the worst of what's coming, I promise you.
If the Republican party even wants to be relevant in the future it needs to move on from Trump and change it's views on abortion. It absolutely cannot win where it matters and is starting to lose in locations where in the past it was a guaranteed win. We can continue to argue and slam our fists down about how Trump was saving the country and how the election was stolen but it hasn't done a damn thing for us to this point. And please stop saying anyone that doesn't play into this is just a fool and believes what the media wants you to believe. I believe in what's happening around me and it isn't good.
Regardless of your stand on abortion the Supreme Court essentially turned every liberal woman in the country into a voice that will be heard forever at the polls and oh by the way, a majority of them are anti-gun.
If we continue to live in the past and scream fraud and stolen election and Trump will make American great again and all the other bullshit that has been dividing us and the party for the last 2 years, it's over. Again, don't take my word for it, just like we all thought the Republicans were going to own the mid-terms, reality is upon us.
I'm sorry but a loud, obnoxious, egocentric, old man is not going to be the answer going forward. You either love him or hate him and he continues to bury himself with his media exposure and attacks on others in his party. Voters are taking notes. They don't want anything to do with a candidate that doesn't support a woman's right to have an abortion or an election denier. NY is a disaster in terms of corruption within the Government, crime, bail reform, cost of living, the list goes on. People leaving in droves. Yet we still elected a tyrant that will stop at nothing to strip us of our 2nd Amendment rights because she is pro-abortion and hates Trump. There it is, the formula for winning. Right it down. Densely populated city with violent crime running rampant (that they lie to your face saying it doesn't exist), and yet here we are, another 4 years or more of tyrannical governing.
Time to start thinking ahead and not just to 2024. The absolute worst possible scenario is just on the horizon and there are only 2 words you need to hear. Gavin Newsome. Unless the Republican party changes course immediately and stops fighting within its ranks you can plan on 2028 as the end of life as we know it. Sooner or later we lose the Supreme Court because there will be nothing to stop the Democratic party from adding more liberal justices and I shouldn't have to tell anyone where this is going.
Politicians need to do what they do best, and that's align yourself with the people you need to vote for you. There's a younger generation out there that wants to be heard and suburban women are coming out of the woodwork. We need a younger, intelligent, well-spoken candidate that people can relate to and his or her name is not Donald Trump. We can't rely on gun rights and rural America or over turning elections anymore and the courts haven't changed a thing, and honestly 2 years later as the country has taken many steps backwards, the Republican party has done nothing to move forward,
Desantis/Noem and full support from the Republican party or we are in trouble.
