Have you heard the term RINO's? Perhaps UNIPARTY?

So you are voting Democrat?

Or, are you increasing the chances that these police-state Democrats we have today keep winning by *not* voting for the only one with a chance to stop them.

You have to choose which is worse, and then support an unified opposition, DC. Otherwise, it's 1984 in a few years.

You claimed the 2 party's are like night and day. They aren't. House leadership is going to fund Ukraine. You are conflating DJT with republicans. He isn't one of them , and hence they oppose him. It's been 1984 for decades.

Well, we disagree.

The larger point is that the police State is *not* Republican driven.

Democrats own it. The only way to defeat it is for an awakened People to use a unified opposition party to depose the Statist Democrats. That's the Republican party, DC, no way around it.

Yes, there is residual neo-con warmongering in all of our overgrown Federal leviathan. We must get behing DJT, who started the Republican lay voter revolt in 2016, and cut out the Republican neo-cons for good. (DJT is running as a *Republican*, so yes he *is* the Republican party.)

Name the republicans that are truly fighting against the deficit, government intrusion into all education, wars around the world we should not be involved in. You will find a few, and that is all you will find.

Agreed!!

I name the freedom caucus members (you can search their names). But the freedom caucus has zero, zip, nada Democrats. And, DJT voters will lead to more freedom caucus members. In the Senate, the era of rino-McConnell is ending.

My tea leaves tell me there is a nascent and growing populist/reform movement in only 1 (one) political party today.

You don't have to be on board, DC, but why can't you at least allow for its possibility?

Totally unsurprising that Democrats are not joining with the freedom caucus. My point is Republicans join Democrats on issues where lobbyists / corporations / liberal think tanks tell them to go. Ukraine is a prime example, but silence on Covid polices, education, size of government, the ruinous debt are also obvoiusly indefensible.
