Well, I think that is still happening even though they are technically not in "full control"
If they end up with full control you’ll see the difference. The gloves and masks come off and it will be a renewed push to single payer healthcare, higher taxes, putting more justices on the SC, more regulation via the EPA.. it goes on and on brother. There is a massive difference. You guys have been widely insulated from it because of where you live. But that’s slowly changing and if you look around your particular state I’m sure you can find examples. You’ll also find examples of pushback but ask yourself this question: would it be needed say 20-30 years ago? If the answer is no then you have your proof that I’m correct and that changes are taking place.

Who the frick are these people to decide what’s the greater good? It’s just as retarded as the left thinking they’re “on the right side of history.” Our elected officials aren’t our betters or kings or lords or moral leaders. Their job is to bring forth the will of those who put them there nothing more nothing less. An idiot could a better job at then all the midwits there now.
This is a good point. Somewhere down the line it seems to have been forgotten that they are supposed to be representatives, not rulers, and we are supposed to be citizens, not subjects. I don't know if it can be called back at this point but it needs to be

This is the battle playing out before us now.
I'm not too optimistic either.

That's not true. Johnson isn't in a swing state or district. He won with 65% of the vote.
Don’t be obtuse. I said swing districts after you mentioned this:

They keep exposing themselves so we have to keep removing them as they do.
Which is an all encompassing statement. My statement that swing districts will be lost… and they will be.
The poison pill we have to decide on is whether it is better to live with a mushy Republican that will give you most of what you want most of the time and will leave you hanging at other times.. or if a dem in the seat is preferable. Those are the options in swing districts and states. I’ll take the RINO in this scenario because handing the dems full control is a recipe for absolute disaster and we’ll get nothing that we would’ve liked to have had. All you have to do is look at California. The proof is right there for anyone to take a look at.

Not it's not the only option. That's just your fear speaking.
What has your ideology in the process gotten the American Citizen? What we have right now is the correct answer. A March towards communism.

Are there "swing districts" that you think hinge on voting for more Ukraine funding?
That's what makes this argument sort of a cop out to me. And I'm not even blaming you for making it, as it's basically the conventional go-to at this point.

I think the foundation was laid long ago. What we’re living through now is seeing the fruits of their labor and it’s accelerating. Yuri Bezmenov’s video shows that and that was filmed in 1984 if I remember correctly.

Exactly and Paul is Rons bestie so therefore Ron also pushed this bill forward

How did Pisshead Paul end up with so much clout? He’s not particularly bright. He looks like he has AIDS. He never crafted anything of value during his stint as Speaker.
He acted like he would reluctantly take the job if it was pushed on him. Then once in power he showed his true RINO stripes.

HA!! Well, former treasonous phony House "leader" Paul Ryan (Sock-Puppet--R) is just trolling us now , pointing and laughing:
"[Speaker Johnson] did it as a statesman, risking his own personal political fortune for the greater good that he believes in.”
VERY nice troll-job. So Johnson just did WHAT again?
1) Bent Over like a b#ch 2) Allowed the Rats to seize House power. 3) Betrayed his constituents, hung America out to dry while committed treason ("GOOD BOY!! *patted on head by Ryan and Schumer*)
Let's be reminded that ALL GOP "leadership" has been bending over for Dems AND trolling us all along. Republicans have NOT advanced any pro-America agenda legislation since at least the mid-1990s.
For S&Gs check out this clown-lineup of our recent GOP "Reps" and so-called "Leaders":
McCarthy
McConnell
Boehner
Dennis Hastert
Trent Lott?
A Who's-Who of flaccid but t(R)eacherous, t(R)easonous, unprincipled House & Senate (R)ubber-stamps for Scorched Earth America.
No doubt ALL "state$men, ri$king it all for the greater good...(for their Global Master$, tyrant$, and perv$ everywhere.)

No. I’m not talking about what the House has passed in this last week. I’m talking in generalities of what the MAGA platform is and how that doesn’t play well in swing districts because it has been demonized and attached to the hip of “extremism”… the dems have done a very good job of positioning themselves as non extremists (I laugh at it but they’ve successfully done it). We’re the extremists for being pro life (read that as anti women’s rights), we’re pro 2nd Amendment (read that as enabling mass shootings), we’re for jailing criminals (we’re for institutional racism), we’re pro business (read that as we’re for businesses gouging consumers) and so on.
The dems through the media and darn near every other institution makes these arguments for them and they’ve been successful in doing so. Because of that messaging taking hold we, MAGA, have real problems winning the swing districts. RINOs are more likely to win these places in part because voters emotions have been manipulated. I hope that clears it up some.

Just re-watched that vid.
You are correct.
Bezmenov’s warning that we were already toast at the time came in 1984. 40 YEARS AGO! His mind seemed blown that most were totally oblivious to the ongoing Operational Agenda at the time -- and yet no one still was taking him seriously.
This rotten empire run by its rotten shadow-elites and financiers now relish the end-game of their rotten luciferian agenda -- rotten fruit that is now being harvested. Running their Scorched Earth in broad daylight didn't alert ANY one, nor was anyone willing to stop it.
May God have mercy on us.

You know, it's really odd to me that the state of Mississippi has produced some of the most power politicians that you never think of because you never hear from them. It's like this weird club.
Cochran (Thad)
Wicker
Maybus
Lott
These are powerful quiet men who don't really go out in the public forum. Wicker.. When is the last time you heard from him?

Paul Ryan:
“Look, Trump’s not a conservative. He’s an authoritarian narcissist. So I think they basically called him out for that. He’s a populist, authoritarian narcissist. So historically speaking, all of his tendencies are basically where narcissism takes him, which is whatever makes him popular, makes him feel good at any given moment… He doesn’t think in classical liberal-conservative terms. He thinks in an authoritarian way. And he’s been able to get a big chunk of the Republican base to follow him because he’s the culture warrior.”
