This is representative of every modern republican. A crowd that can excuse pedophilia but draw the line at transgenderism.

What do you say to a Republican that doesn’t like Trump. Also I know that Trump is in the white house so he gets all the attention, but both sides were littered with people in the files. Last time I checked democrats voted for Bill and Hillary Clinton.

This post is crazy. When I say I’m a republican it purely just means I want the government to have less control over my life and I want my tax dollars going to improving roads and keeping Americans safe. I don’t support all the crazy stuff on either side. I just want to live my life as I want to and I believe other people should be able to do the same

The last time a vote was cast for Bill was last century and Clinton lost the presidency by and large due to the far left not supporting her. Get a new script. This one just isn’t relevant anymore.

And the democrats voted for her and I imagine even today if given the choice they would have her in office. Plus that was just two examples. If you are a democrat and you say republicans support pdfs, you’re a hypocrite because both democrats and republicans do.

Bro stop. It just doesn’t make sense. No one supports them knowingly. If they commit a crime they deserve prison time no matter who they are. You can’t just pretend the other side supports the unsupportable without people thinking you’re a moron.

Read the files and get back to me, it’s willful ignorance.

It really isn’t. You just want to not feel bad about your own beliefs. I don’t care that you’re a moron, but generally people should not want to be morons. To think some people support the unsupportable just gives you cover to do the same. It just doesn’t make sense, and I think somewhere deep down you get that or you’re just a moron who needs to work on their critical thinking skills.

I appreciate your link but I didn’t really say anything about my wallet. I just believe that everyone should be able to live their lives however they want and the government should be focusing on improving the lives of its citizens through infrastructure and such. I’m just saying that I don’t think the government should have say over what we can do with our lives. Why should either of the candidates we vote for get to say what we can do with our bodies? It’s our lives not theirs

I hate trump, I’m just saying democrats take this high road when in actuality they support people who were doing the same things as Trump with less publicity.

im curious as to where you are pulling the information that both sides are attempting control over bodily autonomy, as it would appear to me and most people that it is the republicans pulling back abortion and women’s healthcare rights. unless youre trying to say that democratic lawmakers are pushing for people to be trans and get gender affirming care… which would be entirely untrue. i agree that our politicians should serve us, and i havent been given clear evidence that the GOP does.

I’m saying that I think our government shouldn’t have control over those kinds of things. I personally disagree with abortion but I don’t think that a politician or anyone should have control over your choice to do that or not The government shouldn’t be focused on abortion (it’s a human right that people should be able to choose) instead they should be focusing on keeping us as Americans safe and improving our lives

A. To have it be a provable you need a grand jury with an special counsel fully empowered to go after them, outside of the DOJ. This hasn’t been done and those in power now obviously don’t want it done. B. Timing matters if the public doesn’t know when they cast the votes that is excusable ignorance, if there are strong suspicious at the time i.e. trump for his last two elections that’s not excusable. There is a reason why Hillary is went put up when Biden stepped aside.

we absolutely agree that our lawmakers should serve us. 100%. im glad that despite your personal belief, which you are 1000% entitled to have and i respect you for that, you recognize that the government should have no control over our bodies. i agree. i do think, though, that for things like women’s healthcare and healthcare in GENERAL, for everyone, should be deeply protected by the state, because our health deserves that. not banned, but regulated, so no one dies who shouldnt.

Yeah I completely agree. I think that the government should focus on the safety of it rather than the legality of it I’m glad we were able to have this conversation and I hope you and anyone else who’s reading this has a great day

I don’t get the point of A, and as for B, like I said willful ignorance.

The point of A is a deterrence effect and increasing public trust that justice is served. For B are you saying that Trump supporters are willfully ignorant of these things? If so I’m not sure I agree. I think most have heard it but choose not to care for a variety of reasons.

I understand that sentiment however your ideals don’t match the current Republican Party.

Most reasonable conservatives like yourself are considered RINOs by modern MAGA. Trump’s terms seem to have created a deep schism in the former Republican base. I believe OP is referring to the core of the GOP base, which is currently MAGA, and not more traditional conservatives like yourself (because your sentiments echo actual conservatism, the likes of which I haven’t been alive long enough to see in a GOP presidency)
