They had that chance. Now we need to burn the party to the ground and salt the ashes.
Otherwise we’ll just be doing this shit again in a decade or less and the next time they wont have a complete fucking buffoon running things.
The popular black Nazi sympathiser and Trumpstaffel who the GOP chairwoman said was the future of the Republican Party? No importance? The GOP believe otherwise
They also believe in creationism. So… Still don’t care.
She can take up space in the heads of morons, but I won’t let her take up any time in mine.

Yea this is where i’m at. The Republican party for too long has courted social or economic conservatives on one hand and the basest on the other - and eventually it was the latter that took the party over while the former two swallowed their pride (or burned their sense) and followed along.
If you think to yourself “Who can I vote for? Certainly not a Democrat?” and throw that R lever in the polls almost no matter who is running, then you on some level bear some share of the responsibility of where we are today, because you’ve been willing for decades to let the party radicalize without much of a whimper in protest. And eventually someone willing to sell out decorum, competancy, racial harmony, international stability, or truth based governance for lower taxes and less regulation starts to seem like part of the problem rather than collateral damage.
If conservatives look at Trump today and say “burn it down” - welcome on board, friend. If they look at Trump today and say “oh, sure he’s bad, but…” then you’ve just declared that that solution goes around you rather than through you.
DJT asked that we remember the victims of Toledo. Today, finally, DJT became president.
And here’s our Republican Idiot of the Day award winner (of course it’s still early):
Oh, so “No importance” = “I personally don’t care about future GOP leadership?” Then why didn’t you say. I thought you meant these people didn’t matter and dont have any effect on politics.
Not sure why you are in a politics thread insisting politicians don’t matter mind you.
Are you talking to yourself now?
Oops. Nah legowarriors reply to me.

I found this database that Mother Jones compiled pretty interesting -

I can’t find anything about Elizabeth Warren and the shooter on any non-right-wing bullshit sites. Is this a legitimate fact?

It’s a legitimate alternative fact!

I mean, I can also find 100% CERTIFIED OMG PROOF that the El Paso shooter was a Democrat but the Deep State changed his info on mylife.com (WTF?) to Republican, just to cover up their anti-Trump activities.
Evidently body count (Las Vegas) and age of victims (Sandy Hook) are insufficient to move the needle. Will frequency make a difference?
Probably not.
Targeting country clubs instead of Walmarts might.

It sounds ghoulish to say, but if US Rep from Ohio Mike Turner’s kid had been killed in the Ohio shooting, maybe we’d make a little progress. She was nearby or there slightly earlier, something like that. It would probably take the kid of each GOP Rep or Senator dying in a horrific bullet spray to get them to think about it. They’d probably still call for armed teachers or more good guys with guns but at least there’d be a chance.

This isn’t about a death count or who is killed or how often they are killed. Nothing will change due to these things naturally. These people have to be voted out for change.
Didn’t a congresswoman get shot in the head in Arizona? Didn’t seem to make much of a difference.
edit: Ah, you did specify GOP. =/
