Which is why Christians should not be interested in ascribing to a particular party but rather be interested in engaging with the political issues of the day. Assigning your affiliation to a particular person or group who inevitably will go against your values is an avoidable black eye.
Each side leave a combination of both, but I support (unpopular) values like preserving life in the womb, supporting marriage between a man and woman only, discouraging divorce and casual sex, implementing harsh punishments for sexual assault and pedophiles, retaining a small government, providing equal (not equitable) access to jobs, keeping a strong border while facilitating legal immigration, allowing for free speech, supporting gun rights, removing healthcare monopolies, etc…
There is absolutely 100% a split over the way he is bending knee to Israel and attacking Iran for Israel’s gain. 95% of republicans do not want this or support this. The fact that you don’t know/see that is honestly more telling about yourself. You live in an echo chamber and don’t actually communicate with anyone who disagrees with you in any way, you just generalize them all together.
Quit your whining abt “echo chambers” that’s not the conversation we are having. Grow up for Christ sake Also is the Republican Party splitting from Trump? No. He still has the full backing of the party. The only republican who has actually rebelled against him is MTG. And how have people materially split from Trump? Nobody is running as an “anti Trump” republican, nor are the voter base asking for it. Going “oh well republicans don’t want this” rings hallow when the change isn’t there
He does not have the backing of the voters. Most everyone is on MTG and Thomas Massey’s side of the Republican Party, we just can’t do anything about it right now because he has all his yes men in office and until the next elections we are stuck between a rock and a hard place because the representatives aren’t actually representing the American people they are representing Donald Trump.
I only mention echo chambers because your lack of common, easily accessible information about the Republican Party is lacking. So it’s obvious you haven’t had many conversations on the subject where you listened to anything anyone was saying because that’s a pretty large point right now over the past 2 months or so.
The elites, aka the ones with the money to fund people running for office, are on trumps side. Not me, not the republicans at my school, not the republicans in my hometown, just the elites. Because they have an incentive (and the power) to give money to people who are going to back Trump.
Y’all are all having to talk in circles because y’all refuse to understand my point that the average Republican American does not support what Trump is doing. You know that’s the argument I’m making and you have no rebuttal to it because there’s nothing to argue about so you keep trying to change the talking point so you can make yourself right. My point was never do defend Trump in any way, it was to try to make y’all realize that we, average Americans, don’t stand for what he’s doing.
• In 2016, Donald Trump received approximately 56.7 million votes from Republicans, winning about 90% of the party. • In 2020, his support among Republicans grew to 70.5 million votes, which was 95% of the party's voters. • In 2024, he received an estimated 71.1 million votes from Republicans, accounting for 92% of the party. • While his percentage of the party dipped slightly in the most recent election, his total number of Republican votes reached its highest point yet.
Because he’s not doing the shit he said he was going to do when he was running you fucking moron. I already told you I didn’t vote for him this last election if you can fucking read because apparently none of y’all can. You sound like you would literally rather watch the world burn than find common ground with a republican which is what I was trying to do but y’all are so fucking self righteous that you refuse to find common ground. Grow up.
He is doing exactly what everyone knew he would do. What common ground is there? Republicans are near universally fascists. They’ve been cheering on all the terrible things he’s done (even this war to some degree), but finally I guess AI Trump-Jesus is too far, even though they’ve been making literal golden idols of him for years). You people have morals which are fundamentally incompatible with a free, democratic society, and support policies that aren’t just bad or lacking evidence in
What common ground? Idk maybe the fact that we all live in the same country and probably want the best for it. we just have different views of how to go about it. He is not for my view of it or yours but you would still refuse to find common ground with me because I disagree with you about how to go about it. The fascist argument is old outplayed and wrong evident by the fact that republicans are turning on him.
