    United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

    And if we re-elect him, do you think this will suddenly change? If so, how and why didn't he do this before?

    United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

    So why wasn't this done sooner? Again, he could've attempted it in Congress in early 2017. He could've attempted it with SCOTUS in late 2018, etc. You also avoided my question, because you previously dismissed his appointments as Establishment; why did they side with him if they were?

    Which, again, takes me back to what I said earlier: Trump could've sought to primary them.

    Doesn't that invalidate your previous contentions about the Courts and the Judges then, given they did side with him?

    They can't, no. Vote for someone willing to actually fight the system, or dispense with the niceties of it. Personally I've only voted seriously on local and State issues since 2018; in 2020 I voted for Huey Long lol. Electoralism to me at this stage is mostly a dead end, it's just waiting for...

    States can't block Federal funding bills, and if Courts can cuck Trump, why would I vote for him again when they can just cuck him again? Likewise, you evaded my question: show me the funding bill in question.

    So where is the wall? What bill was the appropriations in?

    Agreed; I've stated many times Trump can only be considered as ineffectual or in on it. I lean towards the former myself but if others don't find him culpable, the only other explanation is being ineffectual. I agree, which is where my criticisms come in, in that he could get that big tax cut...

    The abortion thing was really important to me, so I do give him credit for that. Last time this topic came up someone pointed that out to me so, yeah, credit where credit is due.

    Except for the fact the 115th Congress had 246 GOP House members, 54 Republican Senators and during his tenure, Trump appointed three SCOTUS judges, a full third of the sitting court. If we're going with the idea the Establishment prevented him from doing anything, please explain how he got...

    Honestly, the funniest take away from this election to me for those on the Right is that the two main schools of thought since 2020 got disproved; it's not fraud and it's not demographics, it's bad candidates, bad strategy and bad platforms. Not even the abortion issue can explain it fully...

    And from January of 2017 to January of 2019, he had control of the Presidency, the Supreme Court and both chambers of Congress. If you think Federal investigations somehow impeded legislation from passing, then how did he get his Tax bill through? If you think federal investigations are that...

    At that point, why vote for him then if he is too ineffectual to enact his signature campaign pledges? Asians have a TFR of around 1.3 and Hispanics now regularly vote at 30-40% Republican, with indications that will grow. As for the Black vote in the wider South: We also have pretty strong...

    On the long run, yes. North Carolina got really competitive in the 2000s and now is fairly Republican again.

    I worked on Republican campaigns in 2015 and almost did again in 2016; I tried to organize a Students for Trump chapter at my school as well. In other words, I was an extremely enthusiastic 2016 backer, but by 2020 I did a write in ballot. I did not give a shit about mean Tweets or whatever...

    I'm skeptical, given underlying trends; Georgia could be doing what North Carolina did in the 2000s. Most of the Democratic margin in the State is due to how much of the electorate are Black voters and because of suburban disgruntlement with the Trump era GOP. First, to examine the former...

    The fraud stuff is honestly just a very, very poor cope. Same, however, goes for the more Ethno-Nationalist factions who chalk it up to changing demographics. In reality the GOP just sucks because it's controlled opposition; the inability to accept this fact is what continues to hold back so...
