@JayTC53@joekent16jan19 It's so hilarious to see you people that literally align with (or claim to) EVERYTHING that Massie believes in, but you just follow marching orders from Trump. 14 years of "nothing" isn't a smear on Massie, it's actually smear on every rep who DIDN'T support Massie's AF policies.
What Massie’s loss means for America 1st & why I’m optimistic about the future of our movement.
We can save our Republic if we can build a broad populist movement against more wars & foreign influence:
I unfortunately have to admit something.
I voted for a high school kid to run this country in 2024.
Thomas Massie votes against a bill? "Worst Republican in history." "Disloyal." "Sanctimonious fool." "May we never have to deal with him again."
Lauren Boebert campaigns for the wrong person? "Weak minded." "Dumb." "Carpetbagger." "Deserves a good primary fight."
This is the President of the United States.
Publicly trashing members of his own party because they didn't fall in line.
Not debating their positions. Not explaining why they're wrong. Not making a case.
Name calling.
On social media.
Like a teenager who got left out of the group chat.
"He's disloyal." "She's weak minded." "Vote them out."
That's not leadership. That's a popularity contest at a lunch table.
You disagree with the boss and instead of a conversation you get publicly humiliated and threatened with a primary challenger.
That's not how a president handles disagreement.
That's how a bully handles it.
Massie voted no on something he believed was wrong. That's literally his job. That's what Americans elected him to do. Think for himself and represent his district.
But in this version of the Republican Party, thinking for yourself gets you a public hit piece from the leader of the free world.
And the base cheers for it.
When did "loyalty to one man" replace "loyalty to the Constitution"?
I voted for a president.
I got a hall monitor with a Truth Social account.
