Outside of elections they don’t work for us anymore.

Lankford and Thune are liars.

You guys crack me up with this "uniparty" bulls**t. There sure is a lot of excitement here to have Trump as president elect and over most of his cabinet picks. But if the parties are the same, what difference does it make?

Thune is the new majority leader. Like it or not, that's just the way it is. Thune also has a very strong record of support for the 2A. So that's a good start. He's also saying that ALL of Trump's cabinet picks should have the opportunity to be heard before the senate.

Is he a typical politician? Maybe. But he's strong on guns and he's willing to give Trump's nominees a chance to be heard.

Most of you guys would b***h if you were hung with a new rope.

Which is the party that:

Wants gun bans and other restrictions on 2A rights?
Is for killing unborn babies under nearly all circumstances?
Is OK with open borders and illegal immigration?
Establishes sanctuary cities and other safe places for illegal aliens?
Refuses to cooperate with ICE in locating and detaining illegal aliens?
Wanted (some still do) to defund police?
Allows illicit drug use?
Wants to silence dissenting voices?
Is generally soft on crime?
Doesn't know what a woman is?
Thinks you should tolerate men/boys in womens/girls bathrooms and locker rooms?
Thinks it's OK for men to compete against women?
Preaches tolerance and unity but is anything but tolerant and unifying?


The democrat party and the republican party are the same? I don't f***ing think so.

That doesn't mean the republican party is perfect and that doesn't mean there aren't a few republican senators or representatives that might be more at home in the democrat party. And many republicans are complicit in a lot of the problems we're facing today. But that doesn't equal being the same party, and to suggest there's no difference in the parties is either ignorant or dishonest if you're being objective.

And dont forget SCOTUS. If Hillary won in ‘16 we would have a leftist activist court. Repubs put in a conservative court. How is that a “uniparty”?

We're actively trying to restrike one side of the uniparty coin. It's not even remotely "BS" to try and fix a sabotaged system of government. We have iron clad, empirical evidence that our government is actively engaged in wrongdoing. What would you prefer we do? Revolt? Give up? I don't find either of those options acceptable right now, so tell us what you'd do different?

There is something to "the uniparty." When was the last time you saw the republicans stick together as much as the democrats? They should be on the same team. They act though as "oops, we didn't have enough support and failed, or when they lose (repubs) they always say, "we'll get them next time." Look at lankford, his border bill still would have let in well over a million illegals.

However you really have to look at the fact we have 428 agencies now. We will only see elimination and eliminating them if the republicans band together and work as a team. Trumps appointments need to be supported if we are to get meaningful change, otherwise it will be division and arguing, as congress always does.

That's nice...but that's not what I said.

Yes. Our current government (is/has been) engaged in wrongdoing. I don't dispute that. But the argument is the democrat and republican parties are the same. If that's the case, why vote to replace the current democrats in charge with republicans who are the same? It doesn't make sense.

And it doesn't make sense because the parties are NOT the same. I'd be willing to bet that most here are welcoming the change newly elected republicans will bring with them. People didn't vote for Trump/Vance because they're the same as what we have now. They voted because they want change. I've also argued against an actual revolt time and again right in this forum. And obviously giving up isn't an option.

So that's your answer. I voted for change because I know a government ran by the republican party will be better than one ran by democrats. Not perfect, not always doing what I want, but better. Improved to one degree or another. You're not going to get perfection regardless of how badly you want it.

The other thing I'd like to point out is nearly all of Trump's picks are current republican politicians (Musk is an exception and Gabbard is a fairly recent convert) who were part of the "uniparty" everyone's b***hing about. But suddenly many of you guys are excited and enthusiastic about that they might be able to accomplish.

It's easy to say the parties are the same, and it sounds cool and it sounds like you're really in tune with the world when you say it. But it just isn't true.
