Why?

I think the party has a good future.

QAnon is the future of the GOP. Do you think that's a good future?

QAnon is the future of a small niche of the party which the establishment openly rejects.

The establishment openly rejected Trump in 2015. But the voters wanted him. And they'll want Q.

I expected that some Sanders supporters would find themselves in the GOP this decade. It happened to the Republicans after the Roosevelt v. Taft split in the 19th century. Which was the last time we had a political party that consisted of progressives, freedmen, and an American Bourgeoise.

Uhh the Qs and the Roses in one party. This is going to be an ugly decade.

I never supported Sanders. (nor am I voting Republican, I'm voting for Kanye)

You know he's not as bad as Trump.

That's easy to say about somebody that doesn't have a chance.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to be seated and that sends a message to other QuAcks (I'm trying to coin this term, admittedly it's not that great) that they can be elected with the Republican Party as their vehicle. Even if they don't become the establishment outright they are going to be much more than a niche soon enough.

He earned ballot access in three states these last couple days. He's doing fine. Winning the electoral college isn't the main goal anyways.

Also, you're all implying Q is fake or something.

Conservative political discourse is so worthless. Not one idea to make the future better, just endless fearmongering about people who oppose *checks notes* fascism and police brutality.

Hillary Clinton was not arrested for being a cannibal pedophile in September 2017.

I’m happy for your success. It’s a big deal to be doing well enough to become a Republican. Unless you are a mailroom Republican. That sounds hard.

To your knowledge, no.

Q isn't just wrong about everything, he doesn't exist.

Right wingers got conned once again, and they will never bring themselves to realize it. They'll probably rationalize this reality as being another conspiracy theory. That's what they're for anyway-to help distraught people cope with things that they cannot control and/or cannot accept.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Come on! I just put this poster on ignore! Recommend the post or something, fine, but there was no need to empty quote them. It was right above yours!

Save yourself some time and put the other one on Ignore, too.  They're both doing a tiresome shtick.

Cliched joke that doesn't even make sense here strikes again! Yeah, I'm done.

Republicans complaining about celebrities at the DNC is merely anger about the RNC only managing to pull D-List and viral celebrities. Having that crazy couple from St. Louis was the equivalent of the DNC having the "YOU ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR JOB!" lady speak.

Had the RNC been about to get Eva Longoria Republicans would have been on Twitter saying "WE AREN'T RACIST! WE GOT THE MEXICAN WOMAN FROM DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES TO HOST OUR CONVENTION! CRY HARDER, LIBERALS HAHAHAHA!"

This kind of mindset is exactly why Trump won in 2016.

The tolerant left strikes again!

If they can’t refute what you’ve told them and if they can’t
make a counter argument against the points you raise
they either ignore you or ridicule you and try to delegitimise
your opinions

that’s why he put both of us on “ignore”
