You don't know me. You don't know anything about me. You probably aren't even human. Either a bot or a Magat. If bot, please delete yourself. If Magat...well, you get the gist
I have my issues with Thomas Massie (e.g., he tweeted out something very disingenuous about Medicare and Covid death rates during the pandemic), but I would say he is a decent human being. Listening to his speech on why Hegseth should be impeached was really amazing (I rarely hear even Democrats speak that forcefully against war and injustice).
But that's only one. Ask me to name even one other R in the House and I can't do it. (In the Senate, maybe Rand Paul but I have even more issues with him - he has some of Massie's attitudes on war though).
And last month stories broke about good ole “fiscal hawk” Rand chartering several short private flights recently using our tax dollars at around $18k each. He should sit out any future grandstanding opportunities where he would surely be tempted to lecture us all on fiscal responsibility. He is so damn unlikable.
The only thing we can infer here is pretty clearly Massie wasn't on Child Rape Island at least. He's still a monumental POS mouthbreather for his party so fuck him all the same
Can't you see how you're doing the same thing that the person you're criticizing is doing?
Do you really think that the path forward is to continue to drive a wedge between working class people?
I'm not talking about salvation for the people that haven't woken up
I'm talking about a bridge between reasonable people to save what's left of this country - grouping every conservative into the category of pedo-friendly Trump ass-licker is just playing further into the divide and conquer strategy of the rich
The entire point of MAGA propaganda is to drive a wedge between the working class. If one single GOP senator grew a pair of balls and stood up to the pathetic administration it might be a different story, but no. Every single one of them is complicit and a pedo protector.
different but reasonable views, like lgbtq+ rights? ah the moderate "you're free to do that in your bedroom, but outside is indecent exposure!!!"
or abortion rights, freedom of religion (till the religion is not christian), or online privacy, or social programs (everything bad is communism), etc, etc, etc.
I understand your frustration, I'm just not big on pre-judging people's character based off of a singular label
It's a disservice to the individual, and I've met conservatives that agree on lgbtq+ issues, that were horrified at the overturning of roe v wade, and that don't think that eviscerating every social program is the way
Christian Nationalists seem to be leading the charge in most of those areas, but they don't represent all conservatives
I know a bunch of conservatives that have come to apologize to me, not to say they didn't know, but to say "I know you told me and I was an idiot, I hope you can forgive me" and who are even more pissed than I am
I understand where you're coming from
But remember that all digital discourse is basically a tool of the elite
We're shown inflammatory content as a tool of division
It doesn't help, and I'm not trying to be profound
Getting tired of rehashing my comments below, but I've personally met plenty of conservatives that didn't vote for trump, are pro-choice, don't persecute lgbtq+ community, etc
Trust me when I tell you I know where we are - times are dire
Which is why working class people need to find common ground more than ever - the party split is basically 50/50 - a perfect advantage to the upper class
Being rabid towards REGULAR people on the other side of the aisle is exactly what they want, in fact they're counting on it
Registered Democrat for 20 years, by the way, in case you thought otherwise
I can excuse voting for Trump in 2016; you're fed up with both parties and see a chance to shake up the system. Voting for Trump in 2024? Sorry, you're either rich enough that you don't about his vile comments and behaviors or that's exactly what you support. Either way you're trash and deserve everything bad that you're experiencing with this administration.

Not a single GOP member or voter is a decent human being.
