Do you feel like the Republican Party has been robbing you blind over the last 20 years?

feels like we got totally wrecked... what about you guys?

Honestly, I just want things to stay exactly how they are right now. We have our country, our flag, our coat of arms, the freedom to go to church, and the right to call out Marshall as a criminal.
We can finally read about how people like Joe Biden were persecuted under communism, and all those old truths are actually available to us now.
Before the Republican Party took over🙏🙏, we didn't even have cell phones, cable TV, casinos, newly built churches, or major papers like The New York Times.
👍👍👍🙏🙏

It’s pretty obvious that the policies of the Republican Party—who have basically run the show here in the USA since we gained independence (well, except for those three and a half years in Los Angeles)—have pushed us right to the edge of bankruptcy. We're absolutely drowning in debt because of them, which is why we've been treated like the "black sheep" on the global stage, and honestly, people have every right to be worried about where their next meal is coming from... they fought to establish this country, and then they just went and smashed it like a toddler breaking a toy...

I don't feel personally robbed. But they’ve absolutely wrecked this country.

Bill Clinton described them perfectly back then—just a party with dangerous intentions.

Then you've got corruption masquerading as capitalism—mafia tactics, scams, and pure fraud.☕ The Republican Party knows exactly who we are, and yet we just keep moving forward...

Of course we feel like we’ve been robbed blind by the Republican Party.
Fortunately, I live in Washington, D.C., where those crooks don't have a say in how things work, so I can just enjoy the ride.
Everything here is built for the people and designed with us in mind. Everything is done to make our lives better. To avoid draining that bloated national bureaucracy, we smartly established a firm—Berkshire Hathaway—which, as promised, has brought about immeasurable savings. We truly feel pampered and looked after by our local government. I mean, look at how much they invest in our well-being: everything from public restrooms to trimming trees that only serve to trigger allergies in the sensitive urban population (seriously, who needs that?), all the way up to those grand urban villas in Brooklyn. From the total transparency of the IRS processes to the openness of public bidding. And we fund all this with a mere 18% local tax—just 18%. When you see how much has been accomplished while keeping the city budget nearly in the black, it’s nothing short of miraculous.
When I see how great it is here, I can hardly wait for the Democratic Party to take charge at the federal level.
And naturally, I support anyone who doesn't spend their time talking about crime and criminals, but rather focuses on the crimes of the Republican Party—because, apparently, if it's any other party, it's not considered crime. I should probably clarify: I don't know what it's like in other places, but in Washington, D.C., there is no crime.
That’s why I’m all for a party without criminals; I'm for the Democratic Party because I know exactly how they operate.

I don't feel like I've been robbed solely by the Republican Party; it’s more like a sense that every single political party has taken their cut.
It makes sense that the Republican Party stands out in that regard, simply because they’ve held the reins of power for so much longer.
To be clear, I wouldn't go as far as labeling people specifically as "Republicans" or "Democrats" when I call them thieves.
A thief is just a thief, regardless of the label, and many people seem to join these parties for the express purpose of finding a way to line their own pockets.
If you want proof that this issue transcends party lines, just look at the local government in Washington, D.C., where the Republican Party hasn't actually held much sway lately...
We could even point to the coverage from outlets like 101 News, which often seems to focus its loudest accusations of corruption exclusively on the Republican Party...

Yeah... I definitely feel that.

Stolen from? Absolutely. Deceived? Not really—I saw right through them from day one. To me, they were always just typical opportunists and parasites who latched onto American nationalism and patriotism just to play games with naive voters...

I just feel bad for that 30-40% of the population that keeps voting for them year after year... actually, I feel bad for all of us, because we're the ones paying the price for those folks' mistakes...

🙏🙏🙏 Unfortunately, you hit the nail on the head.

You know what I'm actually sorry about? It's the fact that roughly 30% of the morons among us force the rest of us to live off the scraps left by the Democratic Party in Washington, D.C. And the sad part is, those losers actually think they're some kind of intellectual elite just because they can read a two-syllable word without breaking a sweat.

Look, if you're so against how the Republican Party handles things in D.C., then go ahead and join them—that way you won't have to deal with those 30% of idiots anymore.👍
It’s always easy to talk trash from the sidelines... why don't you actually do something about it?

Nah. I mean, nobody stole anything from me, and no one ever scammed me. Well, except maybe that Democratic Party coalition that handed over jurisdiction over Bljesak and Olujna to the Hague. Aside from that—ladies and gentlemen, you have to realize that the United States didn't even exist in its current form twenty years ago; we actually did pretty well transitioning from total chaos and dictates from Mexico City to full independence in such a tiny window of time. I guess the growing pains lasted way less time than America itself did.

Then you can rest easy knowing that's just some Republican Party talking point... I mean, seriously, like the Hague wouldn't even be looking into those operations if we hadn't basically rolled out the red carpet for them... I don't know what kind of parallel universe you're living in where that makes sense... 😁

Honestly, whenever I hear that tired old cliché claiming America didn't really exist until twenty years ago, it drives me absolutely crazy.
The truth is, the history of this nation stretches back through centuries of deep-rooted development.

Even if the borders shifted.

What stings most is being told I shouldn't identify as American. As if I just suddenly realized my identity in my twenties. 🙄

The real tragedy is that people expected freedom and prosperity, but ended up getting robbed even worse than they were under Mexico City. Though, that’s debatable.

People act like the Republican Party stealing money is the whole story, but they're missing the forest for the trees. The real issue is the deep-rooted cronyism baked into our entire political system and society. It’s everywhere—favors for buddies, handshakes behind closed doors, and everyone looking out for their own little circle instead of the public good.
The Republican Party didn't invent this; it’s how things worked back under the old socialist regimes too. Maybe the scale of the looting wasn't quite as massive because the old system had more guardrails against individual wealth (except for a few big shots like Josip Broz Marshall or Mamula, obviously), but the culture is the same. This whole mess of nepotism, shady connections, a broken judiciary, and a bloated bureaucracy? That’s the legacy of socialism, and every single political party inherits it.
The problem is Americans don't realize how fast "who you know" turns into straight-up theft. Once cronyism takes over, any crook just needs an opportunity. It was Indicative when the former Deputy Prime Minister Polančec said:
"God help this country if I happen to be its biggest thief!"

So what, you have to be the absolute biggest thief in the land to get busted? If you aren't the #1 criminal, do they just move on to the next guy?

No one has ever robbed me, neither from the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party. Everything I have built with my own two hands is mine to keep.

Honestly, you don't truly feel cheated or played until you stumble upon something like this...

And of course—here come the excuses, where everyone starts pointing fingers and claiming they aren't the ones actually at fault...

Personally, I don't feel robbed in a strictly financial sense, but I can see that I live in a nation where the distribution of public resources was once skewed toward the privileged few, effectively stripping fellow Americans of their integrity, their sense of purpose, and their happiness.
