2016 the Tea Party destroyed the Republican Party making way for Trump. Trump is not a conservative. He has nothing to do with the Tea Party.

I don't like republicans but I like taking down the big government. If Trump does that he will be a hero to many of us. We will see what happens.

If only some folks understand of how politics work, then they wouldn't expect the government to solve all our problems.
Upvote.

What are you trying to say with this meme, that Republicans don't lobby/grift? Because I'll be the first to tell you that both sides do this.

Of course, but dems turn it into a circle jerk by giving government money to favored identity/business groups who then donate money to the DNC. How much lobbying does the corporation for public broadcasting do? Any money they do that with was taxpayers to begin with, not a company like Ford using thier profits for said purpose.

It's hilarious that there are still people who believe DC is divided along party lines...

No doubt, there would have been no difference at all had everyone voted democrat straight down the ticket. I admit there is a uniparty in Washington, but to say there are not true differences between the parties and their platforms is a stretch.

First, suggesting that Democrats alone use government money in a “circle jerk” of donations is misleading. Both parties have a history of redirecting taxpayer money toward favored contractors, business allies, and interest groups, that will support their party. For Republicans, defense contractors, large agricultural businesses, and oil and gas companies have historically benefited from significant government spending and tend to support Republican candidates through donations. So, framing this as a uniquely “Democratic” issue suggests you might have an unfair bias of the broader political landscape. So let's not go on pretending that gov't funding is only used by Dems in this way.

Also, while it’s true that public entities like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) receive taxpayer funds, this doesn’t equate to automatic political donations to the Democratic National Committee. The CPB has a specific mandate to remain non-partisan and serves as a public good by promoting educational and cultural content, which is distinct from corporate lobbying. Now, it's entirely possible that shows on that network individually donate to candidates, but I don't think the network itself does.

Maybe I'm just taking your meme too seriously. Or maybe there's a lot of misconceptions out there that we should start working together to put to rest. This chaos between elections has been getting out of hand, in my opinion.

"The CPB has a specific mandate to remain non-partisan and serves as a public good by promoting educational and cultural content, which is distinct from corporate lobbying."

I know, that's why when I listen to "all sides" or "all things considered" I know I'm getting a very non biased and across the board view (not). It's nothing but "Dah, comrade" programming, paid for by the taxpayer (and the Chubb group, whoever the hell they are).

I hear you, I do. But I think the phrase goes "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." There are laws in place that require representatives and senators to show who donates to them. So, if OPB was doing that, whoever they donated to would have to show it. I'd like to be able to accuse people of donating to candidates I don't agree with to further my agenda, but as my name implies, facts first/only. I can certainly speculate, but that's a slippery slope from assumption to certainty through accusation. You know what I mean?

I’m here because I believe in conservative values, and I genuinely want to discuss and support those ideas. Disagreeing with someone on one or two issues or following diverse streams doesn’t make me a leftist. It’s possible to engage with different viewpoints and still stand firmly in my beliefs.

Your verbal camouflage is not working.

Create a new alt account, try again.

It isn't about disagreement, it is about you trying to spread leftist nonsense.

You typed many words based on YOUR beliefs and ZERO supporting FACTS.

Typical leftist behavior.

Agent provocateur - nothing more.

Ah, all transference, no facts.

I struck a nerve.

I know you find directness uncomfortable and disconcerting.

Try to embolden yourself to stand firm in the face of adversity.

It seems apparent you are trolling.

I am sure the OP will appreciate all the comments you are soliciting getting the meme a high ranking.

Ah, I see you.

Your knee-jerk labeling and accusations are nothing more than deflection. You toss around terms like 'verbal camouflage' and 'leftist nonsense' as if any disagreement or differing nuance is a threat.

Conservative values aren’t about ideological gatekeeping; they’re about strong principles and intellectual honesty, which includes being able to debate without immediately devolving into baseless accusations. Since you don't fit that, how do you label yourself?

Just because I’m willing to engage in genuine discussion without parroting every hardline opinion doesn’t make me a 'leftist' or 'troll.' All I've been doing is asking questions for the most part. Your fixation on purity tests and projecting motives only highlights an insecurity in your stance.

If you’re so quick to dismiss anyone who doesn’t fit a narrow mold, it says more about your comfort zone than mine.

Maybe it's time to toughen up and engage in real conversation rather than labeling anything unfamiliar as a threat."

It's a shame that you're burying your head in the sand. Perhaps when you grow up a little bit and are more open to amicable discussion, I might be able to take you seriously. Until then, God bless.

Communication relies heavily on context clues. I'm new here, so I don't know you. This is why I asked.

The title specifically states: "We are sick of the good grifting and the waste of the Democrats. Tea Party people won this election" This suggests a viewpoint that "grifting" and "waste" are problems associated uniquely with Democrats, which implies that Republicans, particularly those aligned with the Tea Party movement, are not engaged in similar practices. By framing the statement as a criticism directed only at Democrats, it implicitly positions Tea Party Republicans as more principled, fiscally responsible, and free from self-serving or wasteful behavior.

I'm not going up to bat for the Dems, far from it. I'm more the Umpire that sees the fouls played by Dems, and also the ones by the MAGA Conservatives. I'm more of a traditional Republican. I think they're referred to as Neo-Cons? But I guess that's a derogatory name when used by MAGA, so Idk.
