    Agree. If he werent such a pig and just a guy with policy differences this country would be better off. Desantis is a troll too but I wouldnt throw Nicki Haley in that group. We need adults and the top choices on the GOP ticket arent.

    DeSantis doesn't do everything the way I want but I'd take him as permanent Governor. I think he'd be a good President too. He's more disciplined than Trump.

    What top democrat choices do you admire?

    Where were you last spring? Everyone knew this, but just let MAGA steamroll the entire process. I'm glad DeSantis put his foot down and said "No" to Lara Trump taking our Senate seat. I'll take Moody over that piece of worn-out trash every day and Sunday too.

    And Germany elected Hitler
    the less than 50% of the votes that went for him were heavily influenced by misinformation and hatred encouraged by Musk and the musketeers. X very own Ai labeled Elon Musk the biggest purveyor of misinformation on the internet. America voters fd up big time. Want to help fix it, tell your senator to stop djt

    What's mind boggling about it. It is who he is and who he has always been. You knew that when you voted for him. His petty insecure self just makes chit up trying to impress people. Insults and belittles others to try and raise himself. That’s your guy.

    We are talking about populist trolling and purposefully demonizing Americans. Desantis has no issue doing that. That doesnt play as well on the Democrat side. Dems worst characteristic is that they campaign on working class ideas but take corporate money and influence as often as the GOP letting down their constituents. Its a different problem. The populist trolling is uniquely GOP right now.

    I’ve know a few like her. Very anti gay and abortion. However when Obama was nominated they voted for him. I ask one why? “Because he’s like me”. His color trumped their religious beliefs.

    Does calling republicans 'deplorables' or 'garbage' qualify as demonizing Americans?

    A single comment from 2016 that was regrettable and in full context: "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that."

    Those people are deplorable but they dont make up half of the right.

    You guys hold on to the once a decade comment and I can pull a quote from every day since Trump became president for comparison.

    You dont really care but, No, its different when your primary message ongoing everyday is that liberals are evil and trying to destroy the country and a very poorly delivered point that racists on the right are bad people and have too much of a voice in the GOP. I know you know the difference and ignore it. Its that "hate" that Bill embraces and accuses other of on here of having.

    Yes it is different. Dems don't take it to the extreme that Trump does ('scum', 'vermin'...) and don't do it on a daily basis like Trump does. That you're having to go back nearly 10 years to find an example of a Dem doing it just makes the point.

    I like that John Fetterman guy. Not sure the effects of his medical issues though.

    Correct. It's entirely different. This guy sums it up well;


    Now you can go moan about the bad lady who said the bad thing one time.. .....

    ... .....
    but you voted for, and shill for, a guy whose almost entire platform was telling racist lies, intending to stoke fear and hate, and degrade other groups. Frequently other races, at that.

    So again - yes, totally different.

    And you should pretend to be a victim somewhere else.
