@sbell021 Everybody linked to Moore and Harbaugh should be fired immediately. Let the Mormons take over and run this place with class and dignity like we deserve. Win some games too.
@LangmanVince She is voting according to the law. This is not for or against Trump. She works for the people to defend and uphold the constitution. The personal attacks against her from both sides are horrific.
@JMorris23 Agree completely. Way too many games for a college player. Not necessary since any team under 12 really has no chance of winning anyway. Enough with the greed.
I grew up Republican. Still am in many ways. But MAGA pushed the party so far right that I get called a liberal now.
Let me explain the difference:
Traditional Republicans believe in:
โข Fiscal responsibility (balanced budgets, not exploding deficits for tax cuts)
โข Limited government (actual small government, not big government that punishes your enemies)
โข Strong institutions (courts, elections, constitutional norms matter)
โข Personal responsibility (your actions have consequences)
โข Free markets (not tariffs and trade wars)
โข Strong alliances (NATO, international partnerships)
โข Rule of law (no one is above it, including the president)
MAGA Republicans believe in:
โข Whatever Trump says today (even if it contradicts yesterday)
โข Loyalty tests (agree 100% or you're a traitor/RINO)
โข Conspiracy theories over facts (stolen election, deep state, QAnon adjacent stuff)
โข Grievance politics (owning the libs > actual policy)
โข Personality cult (Trump loyalty above party, above country, above truth)
โข Performative outrage (culture war theater instead of governance)
โข Ends justify means (storm the Capitol, ignore election results, whatever it takes)
I didn't move left. The party moved off a cliff.
I still believe in conservative principles. But when you say "maybe we should respect election results" or "fiscal responsibility matters" or "rule of law applies to everyone," you get called a liberal.
That's not conservatism. That's a cult.
