That whole piece is a lie.  It has nothing to do with democracy. They were bullying the other side, not allowing the other side to speak their turn, disrupting the formal process and acting like ASSHOLES.  That's why they were ejected. MSNBC is making up fiction.

So sick. America used to be an exemplary beacon of freedom and progress and functional civilization and now look at us.  The rest of world sees us as a degenerate sewer.

Me too. Little Black Sambo was featured prominently in the decor and on the menus.

Wow.  There’s some real racism in that link.  It is true that raw IQ scores are lower, on average, in blacks, than whites, and it is true that that means at the upper tail end there will be proportionately more genius level whites than blacks (and even more Asians) but I doubt it’s a thousand to one. 

It may be true that evolutionary genetics plays a role in behavior and IQ but there are a lot of complex reasons why Africa hasn’t developed like other continents.  One very large reason is Africa, compared to Europe, has very few good ports and navigable rivers.  It was impossible for technology and higher civilization to develop there the way it did in Europe, largely due to geography.  It’s also argued that a cold climate requires higher intelligence to survive.  Equatorial jungles supply everything you need to live without having to deal with killing cold and a long winter of nothing growing.

People also evolve along with the foodstuffs in their environment.  When we forcibly moved Africans to temperate zones, and fed them European/American diets heavy in grains, this was not the optimal diet for equatorial races and in my opinion contributes to black underperformance on IQ tests to this day.  Removing them to higher latitudes reduces their vitamin D absorption and there are no doubt other impacts of not living on your own ancestral lands.  It’s true for whites also, we don’t do well in the jungle.  We get malaria to which blacks have evolved greater resistance.

There are probably other factors I’m not thinking of at the moment.  But the reality is that blacks and whites are more alike than different and these IQ average differences mean nothing when it comes to individuals.  Thomas Sowell is absolutely genius. The worst thing we can do is write off black kids as having no potential and for example cancel advanced classes in schools because “racism”. 

People migrate in modern times very fast, not slowly like 500,000 years ago, giving us time to adapt. But adapt we eventually will, mostly through interracial mixing. Exchanging genes is the best way to share evolutionary advantages with each other.

I haven't taken the time to read the act, but have seen some Tweets saying that it make using VPN's illegal.

My understanding VPNs aren’t technically illegal but it will authorize the government to investigate, snoop and spy on you for using a VPN if it thinks you are visiting sites that pose a “foreign risk” or might be doing forbidden activities such as “election interference”.  Which covers a lot of territory. 

It is similar to the Patriot Act in the sense of broadening feds powers to dig into your internet activities but far worse even than the Patriot Act.

They all seem to ignore that all communist (also socialist) countries devolved into murderous dictatorships where the population is in horrible poverty (for example, North Korea).  But they also all insist that this time we'll do communism right and everything will be rainbows and unicorns.  We're seeing the devolution of the USA right now.

It’s because they do not understand basic economics.  Like AT ALL.  They have absolutely no clue where stuff comes from and how it gets to people who consume it.  They think all food and healthcare just magically appears and can be equally distributed among everyone.

They have no idea what money is and how it works.  They think you can just print up money and give it to everyone and then everyone can buy whatever they want and need.  They have no concept of things like money supply and how it’s related to price.  High prices are the result of greedy capitalists and nothing else, they think.  They do not understand supply and demand.  They think if you outlaw price gouging then you can buy the thing at a low price.  No idea that what that does is create shortages.

Communism when attempted always results in catastrophic shortages for everyone except the elite leaders. But they’ve not been taught history or if they have they were told lies about why it failed.

If you think I’m not aware of these things, you haven’t been paying attention. But I’m not going sit around and pout, naval gaze, and throw in the cards like a lot of people here.

Will DeSantis be accepted in the DC bubble?  I have no idea.  Will Trump ever get one ounce of cooperation in the DC bubble?  You’re naive if you think he can get anything accomplished.

I’m not throwing in the cards. I said Styx said he isn’t voting for a R if it’s not Trump, I didn’t say I wouldn’t.  Only that I understand Styx’s reasoning.

Y'all are having trouble grasping the concept that the country is lost now. We're sending out military hardware to Ukraine as well as our money. The oil producers are thumbing their nose at us and driving up prices. The U.S. dollar is losing its status as the world's reserve currency. It's been a good run, but it's all over now.

Trump brought it back in 2016.  He could do it again, but he won’t be elected because elections are now completely controlled by the Uniparty.  No I didn’t say Dems.  The GOP was largely responsible for the 2022 red trickle.  The Dems and RINOS will never allow Trump or any true patriot if the people to come to power again.  If a Republican is ever elected president it will be a RINO but I doubt even that will happen.

That is the weakest argument I have ever heard.
DeSantis has a record which I am proud of.

And right you should be, as Governor of FL he’s great.  What’s that got to do with draining the DC swamp?

We have had that "will too" "will not" "will too"  "will not" "will too" "will not" "will too"  "will not" "will too" "will not" "will too"  "will not" . . .
argument so often is has become meaningless.

We will just have to wait to see what the election brings.  But if people (Rs)  don't vote because they think there is no chance, they are creating a self fulfilling prophesy, and RELINQUISHING THE ELECTION TO THE DEMS without a fight.

If people vote for Trump in the primary, and he wins, then we deserve whatever we get in the general.
And I'm very afraid this will happen because dems have learned that if they crossover in the primary and vote for the worst R, they can put him on the ballot then beat them in the general.

That is not cheating per se, but it is a vile, disgusting and legal tactic that has been proven to work (IMHO)

Well I did it.  I registered as Democrat just to vote against the most vile candidate in the Dem primary.  Can’t remember when or who.  However that was just me, I wasn’t part of an organized widespread effort to, for example, visit campuses and convince thousands of mush minded students to do it.  That’s one of the most despicable things the left does, is recruit and brainwash the impressionable young before they mature enough to think critically (and the extreme right too for that matter, Hitler’s brown shirts or religious cults).

The problem with the idea that you’re relinquishing it to the Dems if you don’t vote for a not-Trump candidate is that the not-Trump Republican is part of the Uniparty anyway so there really is no difference.  We have all been saying for years that the only difference between the Dems and Reps is the Reps are pushing us to socialism slightly more slowly. 

Neither the Dems nor the Reps have done anything to reign in the alphabets (deep state).  At least Trump started limiting the damage by requiring reversing two regulations for every one new one.  At least he recognized the problem and attempted to openly address it.  He is the only one to consistently articulate the swamp as the core problem and to have not been sucked into it himself.  I have zero faith any other Republican won’t be drawn into the coven as soon as they get to DC and become all about protecting the coven as opposed to what’s good for you and me.  And that includes DeSantis. 

So what’s the use of voting for them?  Although I grant that if you are facing retirement like Stan says, maybe you will take the Republican slower march to disaster hoping you die before the final fall off the cliff.

I think we need to clarify I was talking about the general election.

I sense that there are some people like Styx who will stay home on general Election Day if Trump is not the nominee.

If someone else (DeSantis or someone else) is the nominee, not voting for THAT person in the general would make someone an accomplice in handing the general election to the democrats.

As for your last paragraph, you could look at this both ways. I TOTALLY think the Dems want Trump to be the nominee, because they know they can beat him.

Oh okay I see what you mean. You’re right, Styx said again today he won’t vote for anyone but Trump now.  He gave a very good argument why, at least from his point of view.

I’m not sure I agree the Dems want Trump to be the nominee.  I think they’re very afraid of him.

Presidential campaigns are expensive.  The money has to come from somewhere.

Various PAC's are formed to "help" the candidate, and depending on who's putting the money in, it usually comes with strings attached.  People or organizations that make huge contributions aren't doing it for nothing.

Keep an eye on who's making the contributions.  Also, keep an eye on how much support the RNC is giving the candidate.

One of the two biggest reasons I favor Trump.  He is beholden to no one.  The other reason is his proven performance 2017-2019.  He was the ONLY president in my lifetime who made it his JOB to keep his campaign promises.

No, because I would actually prefer Nikki, and possibly a few others.  But I think they all have even less chance than Trump.  I'm promoting DeSantis, not because I am a sycophant but because I think he can win.  If I had any suspicion that trump could win the general, I would happily vote for him  Even if he can only give us 4 years.

The Trump cult consists of people that will vote for Trump even though they (should) know that they are sacrificing the election and will give us 4 more years of Biden/Harris.

False.  Voting for Trump is not “sacrificing the election”.  It’s going to be stolen even if DeSantis is the candidate.  Do you really think the Dems will allow DeSantis to win?  The racist, homophobic, transphobic, book banning Nazi?
