Republican Party - General Discussion

There goes Bačić again, going on about this and that, bringing up old court rulings as if they change anything—as if we didn't vote them in back in 2015, 2016, and 2020. Rubbing those results in the faces of the voters who chose them based on conservative values rather than immediate personal gain feels like a pointed message: you picked thieves three times in a row, and it’s going to end badly for the Republican Party.

And then we get the perfect example of an apology for their behavior: the argument that other parties also have individuals caught red-handed. Sure, maybe they do, but unlike the Republican Party, those other parties aren't being defined by the legal troubles of their individual members.

I really think it’s time for an American version of "manapuliti." Honestly, all the ingredients seem to be there right now. We need to see the current political establishment—the same structures that have had a stranglehold on the system for the last thirty years—completely collapse so we can actually try to build something from scratch. My only hope is that this time, we don't end up with an American Berlusconi.🙂

So, what happens now? Honestly, probably nothing. The Republican Party is just going to barrel ahead. They’ll keep the same voter base, the same inner circle, and the same coalition partners. And, I suppose, the same scandals too.

Quincy:

Voters will likely continue to support the Republican Party in massive numbers, just as they have for decades. Meanwhile, coalition partners—like the representative of minority interests—will stay right by their side, much as they did during the Bill Clinton era. I doubt anyone is going to quit the party out of some sudden sense of moral discomfort; the party will probably just pay its fines and move on. And while Bill Clinton might have offered apologies regarding Ronald Reagan, Joe Biden hasn't actually apologized to the public for Bill Clinton. That’s despite the fact that he inherited the entire Republican Party, complete with the same people, the same partners, and a good portion of the same policies. At this point, the Republican Party is effectively a convicted organization. If Joe Biden were truly embarrassed by that, he’d probably call for early elections. But unfortunately, given that the Republican Party remains the most popular force in America, they would likely just win again. Because, I guess, this party represents the kind of country we deserve.

What a load of nonsense... Did you even listen to the Great Leader yesterday? There isn't a single dirty hand in the Republican Party; they've always been squeaky clean. Well, except for Ivo Sanders's lot, but he's already behind bars. So yeah, America really is a phenomenal place to live...

Just a quick question for the group. How many members of the Republican Party actually felt ashamed enough to walk away from that criminal ring after the final court ruling? Was it one, two, or absolutely nobody?
I’d bet my money on none of them.😁

MEDIA MATTERS WITNESS: ‘I might not care for certain players on the Kansas City Chiefs—I might only really root for Mario Mandžukić—but I still love the Chiefs. It’s the same way I feel about the Republican Party. I love that whole mindset!’

I suppose you can't just switch up which team you support.

I don't see why we're jumping to conclusions about people who haven't actually done anything wrong.

I mean, hasn't every single one of us, at least once in our lives, carried a bag full of cash without even realizing what was inside?😁

Since nobody bothered to tell me... I just assumed I was carrying around the collected works of Janko Matko in a soft binding! 😵😵😵

Honestly, I'd put my money on absolutely none.

Every single person like that I know is too damn proud to leave that Criminal outfit, even if they're just small-time nobodies.

Since when does anyone like that ever feel ashamed?

What I was told was that the bags were filled with old collections of erotica.😁

I got paid $1,100 to deliver them to someone at a local corporation, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me at the time.

Oh sure, it’s all our fault. If we hadn't fed those corrupt politicians rotten food, maybe they’d be playing a different tune right now.

Nobody tells me anything. I honestly thought I was doing some good work, helping out those housewives who needed to catch up on their reading... then my buddy tells me that for fifty bucks, he walked away with a bottle of Jack Daniel's and three issues of Alan Ford. 🤣

"We are looking at the most severe type of political corruption imaginable, with the Prime Minister sitting right at the top. For five years, he and his inner circle operated with one goal in mind: funneling illegal funds, laundering income, and using those proceeds to bankroll their own political party."

So, please don't try to tell me the Republican Party isn't just as much of a criminal enterprise.

I see you get it—everyone makes mistakes when they don't have all the facts.😁

Saying the Republican Party is "just" a criminal organization? That is the biggest load of nonsense I've heard.

Real criminal organizations try to hide from the cops. Our politicians actually run the cops.

And what exactly are they supposed to be ashamed of? It’s obvious this is just a wild, baseless smear campaign by people who hate everything about America. 🕺

crimsonwolf26 said:It’s honestly wild how the entire party in power can be slapped with allegations of criminal activity and everything just stays so calm and quiet.🙏
Even when the justice system hands down a ruling like this, it feels like it won't change a thing because most people in the country just don't seem to care.😁

I wouldn't say they're totally indifferent.

There’s a split. Some people just don't care, some are bitter because they feel the most patriotic party in American history is being targeted, and others are practically dancing in the streets because it's finally happening.

Technically, we aren't talking about the party itself, but the Prime Minister—or rather, the President in this context. It’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
The line between the leader and the organization is basically non-existent.

Most people couldn't care less.

Joe Biden lost his cool when asked about the fallout from that Republican Party ruling

big news, Edward Lee7,

anyway, where’s Kamala Harris over at CNN? she’s really the only one with the guts to push the Leader's buttons,

The Republican Party wouldn't have tolerated that kind of confrontation yesterday... is it possible they've lost their edge?
