Will the republican party find someone will a more likable personality than Donald Trump?

Biggest thing the Republicans need to do is clean up their social values/agendas. Those are wildly unpopular, particularly with younger generations, and I feel like we’re trying to be collectively “better than that” as a country. There’s nothing offensive about proposing fiscal responsibility and that sort of thing, but the Republicans have morphed out of that, or at least it’s seemingly not their leading principle. The Republicans are going to lose and lose and lose and then lose some more as long as that’s a part of their platform, spoken or unspoken. Too much is done to appease their Uber-Christian faction, and you just can’t be imposing Christian (or any religion’s) values on broad society. Not everyone is Christian, and no one is obligated to be Christian or live like a Christian to be here. Period, end of story. Anything hateful, ignorant, restrictive….. I could never even consider putting a vote in a Republican’s box until that ideology has been completely and unequivocally renounced and abandoned.

[Agagagagaga]

Nah, we just don’t like queers and trannies and think they should stay away from our children.

[WhiteSteve]

@Agagagagaga like my queer aunt who raised two good and successful people like my cousins, who are an engineer and a veterinarian, respectively, and who are incidentally straight, despite growing up in, at first, a polyamorous bisexual household, and then a lesbian household after my uncle’s death. My aunt is a HUGE Republican by the way.

Also, why are you guys A) unable to separate homosexuality and pedophilia (not at all related by any necessity), and B) unable to view homosexuality as anything beyond a sexual urge. You know LGBTQ love each other and have romantic feelings the same way you and I might feel about a woman, right? I strongly reject the idea that it’s some purely sexually-driven form of deviance.

[Agagagagaga]

Because acceptance of homosexuality leads to a slippery, well-lubed slope. Before you know it you have people in open relationships being “ethically non-monogamous” (Hah!), leather daddies and drag queens twerking for children, and yes, pedophilia.

Because Lefties are never content. Never. If THAT was okay then WHY is this now bad? And you push the envelope, a little bit more, a little bit more. Until we have children having sex changes and pedophiles being referred to as “minor attracted persons.”

All because we didn’t keep the degeneracy in the closet and not only allowed it, but encouraged it. In fact you should be proud to sodomize another man.

🤮

[WhiteSteve]

@Agagagagaga I don’t know, man, there’s not a lot of foundation for your claims besides some anecdotal evidence. Not for nothing, there doesn’t seem to be quite the same energy for the male pedophiles diddling little girls. Obviously no one SUPPORTS it and would strongly decry it when asked, but it really seems like the outrage vs pedophilia is largely driven by a fear more than consistent facts, and is more used as a tool to demonize something that only SOME people disagree with by trying to convince everyone that they’re routinely up to something that MOST people disagree with. Like there are folks out there who want a little girl raped by an uncle to not be able to terminate a resulting pregnancy, and only showing a modicum of concern for the girl who is a bona fide victim of pedophilia, but just the existence of a fucking drag queen means that LGBTQ people are going to molest your kids. Just lmfao, gtfoh. There is absolutely no reason or evidence that I’m aware of to suggest that an LGBTQ person is any more prone to pedophilia than a heterosexual person. Matt Gaetz out here traveling with teenage girls, don’t hear much about that from the right, but they’re the first people to yell “pedophile!” at anyone on the other side of the aisle. You know the old saying: “Sometimes an accusation is really a confession.”

[Agagagagaga]

Well, maybe you’re okay to have drag queens teaching children how to be non-binary and twinks in g-strings twerking in front of children at pride events may be your cup of tea.

[WhiteSteve]

@Agagagagaga But the point is THOSE THINGS DON’T REALLY HAPPEN. Or at most, there’s one or just a few isolated incidents, and then they sell it like “OH MY GOD, IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHEREEEEEE!!!” Like that’s the whole right wing playbook: find a grain of truth and build a mountainous narrative on top of it. It apparently works on your own, but the rest of us are just more insulted that you think we’re that stupid to try to sell us that than anyone is offended. It’s just like “Seriously? You want me to believe this?” So suddenly we get told that EVERY LGBTQ person is a pedo, EVERY immigrant is a rapist, EVERY young black man in the city is a violent criminal, EVERY store has empty shelves, EVERY town is selling gas at no less than $5.50/gallon, EVERY Muslim is a terrorist threat, EVERY city run by a democrat is having a crime wave, EVERY protester for BLM is a looter, etc, etc, etc….. it’s clear as day this is all exaggerated narrative building

Nope. Doesn’t happen. 🙄

[WhiteSteve]

@Agagagagaga Dude, that’s at like a pride parade, that’s not normal life. I’m not all that offended by that, personally, but even if I was…. there’s one. Now show me like at least 5,000 other videos just like it to the point where I’d begin to believe this is any sort of common and widespread problem. There’s a big gay vacation spot in my state, I was taken on vacation there since I was a kid, to a neighboring town, but the action was in the “gay town”, for lack of a more concise expression. And this was the 80s and 90s when people could be out of the closet like today, so they REALLY let it all hang out. Literally saw a guy in nothing but a sailor cap and a G-string rollerblading down the street. Quite literally the gayest thing I’ve ever seen, lmao. Drag queens out on the street promoting their shows, and I’ve talked with them, and they were all wicked cool. I wasn’t molested or coerced into anything, and once as a teenager my girlfriend was with me, and we had a great time talking to them all. They’re fucking harmless, man. I saw the gayest of gayness every summer for a week, and I have nothing but love for ‘em, even though I would literally vomit if I did anything sexual with a guy personally. But the point is I don’t have to, I just have to let them do it with each other and just shut the fuck up and kind my business. It’s not difficult at all, I haven’t dropped a bead of sweat over it.

[WhiteSteve]

*this was the 80s and 90s when people couldN’T be out of the closet like today

[Agagagagaga]

They never should have left the closet.

[Guy13]

They will have to as he is beginning to be seen as the Divivder rather than healer given his abrupt narcissistic behaviors.

LOOK NOW, all politicians are Histrionic Narcissists or they would not be in the position they are and are seeking. Each employees Manipulation differently

[Asker]

Just find someone who is more humble in public.

[Guy13]

Not humble but controlled confidence and Vision. Humility is interrupted as Weakness withing the Global culture.

[Asker]

Well the party won't win shit in future. Normal Americans don't care what Russia and China thinks.

[Guy13]

You worldview is an anomaly. The People elected and re-elected the Inflation causers. Foreign Policy is a traditional Right-Conservative strength. Your interpretations of Election results are emotional and clearly not historical. These results are a result of 1960s to 2020 WOKE training in Public Schools.
Again History demonstrates 40 years to get entrenched 60-70 to become a Systems change. We are at Systems change point. It has very little to do with the man and more with an absence of historical knowledge. We will take down America without ever having to fire a bullet on the back of the blacks (slavery reference)... Joseph Stalin. It is not like the Left did not make it clear or hid anything. Jung, "we will make everything Wrong Right and what's Right into Wrong." Look at your society today. Dumbed-down, impulsive, and reactive people are easy to manipulate.
The Bible has all modern day experiences and outcomes in it. No government change can occur if Public has a full knowledge of Global historical designs and outcomes.

There is a reason we are even mentioning the name Trump today. He has not gone away. He has approximately 76,000,000 that are his followers. Do you think they have forgotten about him. No, they haven't.
And it's good if he isn't a Republican or Democra because he is a business man and has a successful mind set. His policies are good for the people, and normal I must say. Why should he go away? Because you want him to? Get over it!
You reaped the benefits from Trump's policies and kept us safe! But you won't even admit that. He spoiled us by his policies and I knew it the whole time he was our President.
I don't think you can replace a Donald Trump because no one else has a brain like he does. He got the job done for us.
He was not a man that would hide in his basement for 100 days during his campaign and pull the covers over his head.
Secretly, I bet you wish he was still our President.

The party leaders and donors want to move on with DeSantis. Problem is, Trump’s base is so cultish, they may punish the party at the ballot box if they back someone else. They’re stuck in electoral hell, underperforming in elections, just to feed his narcissistic need for attention. Plus, he’s not really a Republican, has no loyalty, and will try to burn them to the ground if he’s not the nominee. It was a bargain with the devil they never should have made.

[OlderAndWiser]

The Republican Party has already found an extremely sitable replacement!

[888theGreat]

It is not about feelings, or looks, or what he says, it is about results. Trump gets results and things done. You liberals feel. Like a female , "I feel he was better" . Feeling is for sex not electing people.

[Snakeyes7]

Ever heard of DeSantis? He has been on the news several times.

[SmokinAces2000]

Seems like a lot of republicans are dick riding this dude named Desantis

[Anonymous]

No because conservatives are intolerant assholes who like authoritarian assholes.
