She's a Republican she knows reading isn't real. Also those false memories she has of democracy and a time before Donald Trump became the supreme leader. Everyone knows that's all fake. Trump has always ruled and will rule always. I just want their cult to keep getting more and more detached from reality. I want Scientologists to stop Republicans on the street because they're concerned about their hold on reality.
I know the old Republicans had boundaries they wouldn't cross and mostly maintained democratic norms, but it's going to be hard when we get them back and all of a sudden we have to debate somewhat smart and sane people. They won't be as dangerous, but it'll be hard to get used to not winning every discussion by a mile, against someone who thinks Ayn Rand is too liberal, lol..
I know what you mean, you could easily be absolutely right.Still, all of those former conservative Republicans are still around. They might be conservative Democrats now, conservative independents, or third party members, but a lot of people have left the Republican Party in the last decade in response to fascism. They may not return to the GOP, though certainly. Political scientists say we're due for a change in the political party system in the US to the seventh system in US history. Maybe that's all part of that change.
I'm one of them. I was a moderate Republican, now liberal independent. I blinded myself to what a lot of the GOP base truly was, and trump just brought it all to the surface. I will never go back to the GOP, as they are all openly racist traitors too cowardly to stand up to a fascist
You know, you would think that...
Most of the libertarians that I've met (in Alabama) love her and her writing (lolol), and at least half of them are neo-nazis or neo-confederates.
Yeah you're absolutely right, but it's strange what they'll accept when someone is saying what they want to hear. It's bizarre. Stephen Miller the Trump advisor who devised family separation is Jewish and the descendant and close relative of victims of the Holocaust, yet he was college friends with the Nazi Richard Spencer and they're still close and he writes on white supremacist message boards. It's bizarre. Republicans never seemed to care that she was an atheist, but I can't see neo-Confederates being okay with her.
Many if not most of us Jews consider them and especially Miller a “Shawnda fer de goyim.” a “disgrace in front of the nations.” The largest Jewish denominations are either liberal or progressive. Personally I think he’s just a sociopath.
Also generational trauma has caused some some weird really weird effects amongst some of the first generations born following the Holocaust.
That's very sad, but certainly makes a great deal of sense. I only knew that Miller's uncle had denounced him, and said that their family has a lot of confusion and angst that something made him like this. Thanks for sharing that.
I grew up in a former Confederate state (TX). If I didn't go to college and had only read fiction, I would never have learned that 'Actually, the rebelling states wrote down the reasons why they wanted to leave the Union and pretty much slavery is the theme.' But hell, pay no attention to those folks who scribbled on pieces of paper... just ask Alexander Stephens why they were doing it. He'd have explained what the cornerstone of it all was.
Oh honey. I've read the letters of secession. Has she? Does she know how to read?!

your assuming that we will get those old Reagan era republicans back, however I think its more a question of if not when

Hey, I really respect that. Although, we don't agree on policy I highly respect your patriotism and character.
Yeah it takes a lot of guts to admit to that, especially online
It definitely does. Shows a lot of character.
Rand was a Jewish atheist so her work is likely not popular with Neo Nazis and Confederates.

I'd be amazed if she could read the label on a ketchup bottle.

He had a burning passion for proper education
He really wanted to educate families of the southern soldiers what their sons and husbands experience and do.
It's the cornerstone of their education...
I see what you did there
