that user only considers women smart if they think and act the way he expects them to. otherwise he calls them “battered wives” or some gross term. projection and junior boomer privileged lefty mentality from that user

The GOP is trying to have their cake and eat it too. They NEED Trump to help get the vote out so that they can take back Congress in 2022. Trump was able to get more people to vote GOP than for Obama which is pretty impressive.

The GOP leadership wants to ignore Trump's absurd statements, keep him happy, and reap the benefits. It's very transactional.

Indeed lmao. And when a person of color doesnt vote Democrat or act the way they expect them to, they fling racist insults at them, calling them 'Uncle Tom' or 'oreo' (= "black on the outside, but white inside").

Yes, that's obviously what they are doing. Use Trump's appeal to drive turnout among segments of the electorate where he's still a draw without paying the price in Trump-sceptic districts or states.

It's also what I want the party to be doing, in essense. Trump was a net positive for the GOP for a long time for three reasons. 1. he forced the out of touch GOP elites to drop some of the most unpopular parts of their platform. 2. he brought a lot of R-leaning low propensity voters to the polls. 3. he spurred a realignment in American politics which gives the GOP a coalition which is much more efficiently distributed in the Senate and the EC.

But now that the guy has outlived his usefulness and has become a liability, I want the party to keep him in the background as much as possible while not outright alienating his diehard supporters.





Btw: this is not something unusual in politics at all. The Democrats are also trying to appeal simultaneously to Berniebros, DSoA-types and NeverTrumpers. They are currently trying to talk a big game about big bold progressive change while actually doing very little in this regard as to not alienate the pivotal moderate suburban swing voters...

Qanon is your only future lol. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the face of your party.

Flat Earth Society stuff.

Debase yourself for trump or you're out Liz.

Be like Lindsay and suck his d*** even after being doxxed.

Be a cuck like Ted who kisses his ass after trump called his wife ugly and attacked his dad.

Cuckservatives at it again. Then they will all start projecting the cuckcalling stuff over maybe.

Angry ramblings which don't address the counterexamples I just gave you.

Fine, so you essentially admit that I debunked your claim about the GOP no longer being a place for smart women.

You named three people out of literally hundreds of lawmakers.

I named two GOP lawmakers who can barely read and write.

I'm not going to google dozens of female GOP lawmakers just to disprove your silly point. I just named 3 off the top of my head.

Fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are smart and college-educated. MTG is the exception, not the rule, no matter how much you or the liberal media try to turn her into the posterchild of the contemporary GOP.

Why do you assume a card games gender?

But yeah, when I first read the abbreviation 'MTG' in a political context, I also wondered why the heck Magic the Gathering cards are supposed to be a threat to democracy.
