Of course. Massie is maybe the only conservative left in office who doesn’t really care about Trump. He’s consistent in his own weird libertarian way.

In the Age of Trump it has truly been anything goes, but if there's one thing I am increasingly certain of it's that JD Vance will never be Trump's successor. He's certainly smarter than Trump (who isn't?), but he has none of Trump's charisma, bluster, or ability to connect with working-class whites, even though he comes from that very group. Trump is a plutocrat with a powerful appeal to the white working class, Vance is a wannabe, socially upwardly-mobile yuppie who, unlike Trump, can't hide his contempt for his roots or his lifelong desire to leave them behind as soon as possible. He'll never have the kind of hold on MAGA Nation that Trump has developed, imo.I’m already looking forward to Hillbilly Eulogy.
The water that the frog is in keeps getting warmer, and the frog is in the "turn it up higher" cult.I am increasingly skeptical that there will ever again be elections for federal office in the sense of having an outcome not be predetermined by the current regime. I dont say that to be reactionary or overly paranoid. I just feel that the current path is one of escalating WTF moments that the public isnt prepared for.
You might be right. The word you're looking for is "too reactive." Reactionary is what they are. It wasn't a distinction that was terribly important a decade ago, but it is today.I am increasingly skeptical that there will ever again be elections for federal office in the sense of having an outcome not be predetermined by the current regime. I dont say that to be reactionary or overly paranoid. I just feel that the current path is one of escalating WTF moments that the public isnt prepared for.
Rather than copy/paste the definitions of each from an online dictionary, which wouldn't be useful, I'll say that these are examples of what I'm talking about:
"My platform is that every single person should have housing, and I think faced with these two options, the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right? For what?" Mamdani questioned in a resurfaced video that has been clipped and reposted across conservative social media.
"If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now," Mamdani said.
Mamdani sparks firestorm with resurfaced comment on abolishing private property: 'He's a communist'

I’m a registered Republican because I want to vote against any and all Trump supported candidates. I vote straight (blindfolded) D on Election Day.I don't care much about voter registration. For one thing, it's unclear how many registration changes occurred just so people could vote against Trump in the primary. Second, as the article indicates, it's a lagging indicator.
I’m close to that….I’m a registered Republican because I want to vote against any and all Trump supported candidates. I vote straight (blindfolded) D on Election Day.
