Republicans tend to do well when it's big races like midterms and general elections. 2022 was an outlier because of Roe v. Wade and poor candidate quality. 2024 showed that it's no longer a big priority. 2026 will likely be another reheash on an anti-Trump message, but that falls flat with voters now, they need more than that.
Braxton who? The only Fort Bragg I'm aware of was named after WW2 vet Ronald L. Bragg.
Sleeping with our admin.
Put Miller in as VP, his double consonant evens it out.Won't be voting for Vance in 2028 either, then?
@Null this can't be true... r-right?
I doubt Roe V.Wade was really that important. It's more on the poor candidate quality aka from guys like Mitch fucking with winable races to throw shit to political allies and pie in the sky election campaigns. With the old guard dropping out of power they're likely not gonna be fucking things up even without a trump at the head of the national party.
You are correct. If you took away her caterwauling, she would be less of an annoyance.
I understand that there are a lot of people whose families fought for the South and a lot of the Confederate stuff isn't there to give the middle finger to the US or re-open new wounds. It's to honor people's ancestors. Even if I think the Confederates were a bunch of retards, it does not make sense to completely vilify every single one of them and their descendants when a metric fuckton of them are still around and live in the same country as me. The Confederate stuff - statues, names, and so on - is very much a part of reconciliation, which I recognize and respect. There is no way to completely eradicate the Confederacy without literal iconoclasm and mass killings, which the Union was not in favor of at the time and I'm not in favor of now because it's patently absurd. Where I agree with people like you and am against the holier-than-thou liberal eradicators is that I understand the absurdity of their position. Unfortunately, they don't. They are over-educated, oversocialized thugs who want to strut around like conquerors when they haven't done anything and do not understand what it means to play with fire. A lot of them have no dog in the fight at all and are either first-generation immigrants themselves, or their ancestors came over post-Civil War.
I'm very Northern and a lot of times the anti-Southern shit I post is nothing more than teasing. When the first round of activists came to remove statues of Robert E. Lee and change the names of Confederate places, I opposed it because it served no purpose. For all the liberals love to shout about healing, they fail to understand that the things they are attacking were and are very real aspects of post-war reconciliation. It's not a good idea to fuck with that stuff, but these people are not after reconciliation: they want to try and re-make American society.
All I know is Trump was 100% right that, after going after Robert E. Lee, these people would go after figures like George Washington. As I said above, these are not people who are interested in righting wrongs in any capacity. They want to break down and re-form society to their liking, and they're doing a very poor job of hiding it.
That book definitely couldn't have been written that way today, the alternate history (particularly Alternatehistory.com) community now is a bunch of unhinged shitlibs and outright communists who think reconstruction should've ended with a genocide of Southern white men and they wouldn't accept a Southern victory timeline that isn't either a cartoonish Wolfenstein style dystopia or leads to a slave revolt that then somehow leads to Wakanda.
Reality is truly stranger then fiction when soldiers are plucked from the obscurity of history in order to name military bases after them because they have something in common with the people the installations were initially named for.
McConnell spending millions on a guaranteed Republican race in Alaska while throwing Kari Lake to the wolves is criminal. You can say what you want about her Senate run, but she would have won the governorship had she just had some funding behind her.
It's because the Confederates are just as much our forefathers as the Union is, if you are an actual blood American you have connections to both sides. The identity of the South as Confederates was only erased with the influx of foreigners, who because they have no attachment to it, could freely demonize it.
That would be the ideology for encouraging talking with people. Conservationism is the protection of the environment.
I thought it was because she was pretty unpopular due to her terribly parroting whatever Trump said on any given day with no original thoughts or policies of her own. Of all the 2020-2022 MAGA bandwagons, hers was the most vapid and transparent.
Dobbs overturning the fascistoid Roe v. Wade decision was imo one of the most important constitutionalist judgement of the past 50 years upholding the actual constitution instead of the democrats vision of a callous inhuman removed from God eugentist authoritarian totalitarian Biopolitical fascistic federal tyranny
I agree on some of this. But i think there is a bigger sea change people arent paying attention too. Pre 2020 the prevailing wisdom was that Dems had a hard time with mid terms because their people lacked motivation to go vote except for big hyped presidential elections. This was stated for 2022.
I almost feel bad for the turtle but I remember how he screwed over the American people and that worry fades away.
I have no sympathy for someone who CAN clearly retire, SHOULD clearly retire, and have been called upon to retire not doing so simply because of their ego.
