Who the fuck are these people that fit between Dick Cheney and Trump?

Under capitalism, there is a wide variety of options that all are basically the same.

freedom is choosing the label style you prefer from five identical cans of beans

[–] Tom742@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

and being economically forced to buy the cheapest can. The luxury of choice is bourgeois decadence.

Never Trumpers are a total non-entity, but in the name of civility everyone has to believe the GOP can become good again liberalism

You'd think Vance becoming a Trump bootlicker would've taught them something.

Vance in 2020: "Trump is the American Hitler"

Vance in 2024: "... and that's a good thing!"

Why would they retake the GOP when they already have the Democratic party?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

No, the 6 people in this country who are republicans but don't like when Trump says racist things all have consulting positions in the democratic party already.

So if Trump wins, the Republican party is gonna be destroyed?

Ok, say no more trump-yassified

[–] knightly@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Same result if he loses, the party just turns to infighting instead of failing to govern.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I'm sure all four of them can do that

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

They'll just take over the democratic party instead
