    Right in Trump's endorsement he talks about how much of a drug warrior he is.

    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.

    Trump’s swampy endorsements won’t make America great again
    By DANIEL HOROWITZ - MAY 29, 2024

    If we ever build a D.C. political swamp museum, I will propose that Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) receive his own, special first-floor exhibit. Despite representing a district that chose Donald Trump by 23 points, Simpson since 1999 has voted for every bill that has made our government what it is today.

    As a full-spectrum liberal, Simpson is one of the biggest spenders in all of Congress. He is a passionate supporter of DACA amnesty and endless worker visas for illegal aliens. He is a long-time supporter of redefining marriage. And, of course, he has also spoken out against Trump on multiple occasions. If we are ever going to change the uniparty, low-hanging fruit like Mike Simpson must be pruned from the GOP’s androgynous-looking family tree.

    Yet, shockingly, Trump endorsed Simpson ahead of this week’s primary — along with nearly every other liberal Republican facing any challenge.

    It’s no longer about a few ego-driven, wayward endorsements of establishment members. Trump is becoming a defeat mechanism, endorsing every single RINO with a challenger on the horizon. Open seats in solid red states are electing new McConnell-style Republicans with Trump’s help. He is even intervening in state legislatures to undermine the Freedom Caucus’ efforts to transform the party from McConnell Republicans to Trump Republicans, or at least who Trump was perceived as representing.

    Before Trump’s rise, conservatives struggled to swap out the corrupt, old-guard GOP establishment. It was a vicious cycle of well-known and well-funded incumbents and candidates who would govern in accord with the monied interests and use that superior campaign cash to ingratiate themselves with the conservative base during the primaries.

    Rewarding enemies, punishing would-be allies

    What we needed was a force-multiplier who could help candidates who struggle with money and name ID needed to actually get elected and realign the party’s priorities with those of the voters rather than donors.

    On the surface, Donald Trump was the perfect man for the job. He ran on draining the swamp, being a new type of Republican, and incessantly touted his personal wealth as a shield against undue influence from special interests. He could have endorsed Freedom Caucus-style candidates in every open seat. He might have even endorsed challengers against incumbents.

    Five cycles into Trump’s dominion over the party, conservative organizations, and conservative media, he easily could have changed the face of the party. Yet, the opposite has occurred.

    All the people who voted for the budget bills, foreign aid, and FISA reauthorization used to at least sweat a primary challenge even under the unlikely scenario they would lose. Now, they are guaranteed a 100% chance of re-election because they automatically get House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to call in the endorsement on behalf Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell’s preferred candidates.

    With few exceptions, Trump has endorsed every single incumbent who has voted for the bad bills, and unless he is pressured to stop, will do so for the remaining primaries.

    In the past, Trump would butt heads with incumbents who “said bad things” about him, which would often align with our strategic interests to remove incumbents who were bad on policy. But by backing the likes of Mike Simpson, Trump is now endorsing the worst of the worst — including past antagonists.

    This isn't about the Freedom Caucus. Jordan, Boebert, Biggs, Donalds, Gosar, Roy, are all members of the Freedom Caucus and are in the good graces of Trump. This is simply due to Bob initially endorsed Desantis. It is that petty political game. It's not a swamp conspiracy like you suggested, there is no instructions to unseat. For all you know Jim Mcguire could join the Freedom Caucus if he wins election. They are running very similar policy platforms. Just admit it, you didn't care about this race or Bob until the endorsement snub.

    Yeah, I can speak for myself thanks. And yes, Bob Good was one of the good ones. It doesn't become an issue until Trump sticks his nose in the primary and endorses someone who has a known, inferior record.

    You can deny that Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell want to eliminate the freedom caucus all you want, that doesn't change the facts.

    Edit: Yes, any DeSantis endorsement or support would play a role, mainly that it makes Trump easier to manipulate. Johnson or whoever can go to Trump and say "hey, they sided with DeSanitis, you should endorse their primary opponent".

    This is typical of some of the MAGA "influencers", such as DC_Draino. "Libertarian" is a derogatory term to them, and they are doing just as much as the neocons to get rid of "libertarians" in the GOP. Another prime example is their hatred of Massie.

    Bob Good Freedom Index is 98% (point taken off for Juneteenth Holiday which doesn't mean anything)

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Freedom Index is 97%


    Both are Trump-Humpers, and while I can't speak for either of them, I would imagine that it might have something to do with their constituents, and they don't want to risk losing them during reelection? Or maybe because if Trump does happen to do get reelected, Good and MTG would prefer not to make enemies and instead hope to have an ear?

    If I held office, I would make certain that my constituents would know the truth about other public servants, but, not everybody agrees with that.

    Anyway, it is up to the People to be aware and act accordingly. Endorsements should not mean a thing to the voters, it is simply relying on others to make your mind up for you. Actually, the whole process is like that, once you cast a vote lol.

    My personal campaign is to try to get people around me to forget kings, authority and transfers of power, and to instead think about ways to reduce reliance on state/fed government and think and act locally.

    But, for those who would rather commit suicide than to not grab hold of one of those pre-printed "I Voted" stickers (you know the ones), I am urging them to vote for RFK Jr.

    Reason: It was the 8 long year debate that we just had; 4 years Trump, 4 years Biden. Turns out, in case you didn't take notice, they are long-lost Twins!

    I have found that it is almost futile to get people to forget kings, authority, etc...

    You can have a great conversation with a person today where they appear to see the light, and the next day they are right back where they were, rationalizing stupidity... until

    That moment when something tangible happens in their life, in their experience and they see things differently, that is when they see the light and it sticks.

    When people feel the state infringing on their own life, that is when they wake up and see the value of rejecting kings, authority, etc...

    That is why I don't stand with politicians, Republican, Democrat or Libertarian. I stand with fellow citizens, voters, specifically Republican voters. As a group, they are the ones I want allies.

    This is not just about Bob Good. This is about Trump's consistent pattern of endorsing RINOs and neocons.

    If we ever build a D.C. political swamp museum, I will propose that Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) receive his own, special first-floor exhibit. Despite representing a district that chose Donald Trump by 23 points, Simpson since 1999 has voted for every bill that has made our government what it is today.

    As a full-spectrum liberal, Simpson is one of the biggest spenders in all of Congress. He is a passionate supporter of DACA amnesty and endless worker visas for illegal aliens.

    South Carolina is ground zero for the future of any party that has any semblance of any America First priorities, thanks to the South Carolina Freedom Caucus. They have worked hard to challenge these guys, and now Trump is carpet bombing them. He is endorsing every single rino who has a challenger.

    Everyone knows this is a problem, but I'm the only one who has the guts to call it out. This will continue happening if you dont voice your displeasure with his endorsement.

    How can you ever drain the swamp if you clog the drain at every opportunity?

    Stop making this personal and actually start believing in the things you espouse and demand results.

    Just talking in generalities, lefty Democrat voters are standing for dark and evil things and I don't want any part of that. Obviously that doesn't mean every individual Democrat is bad, but as a group they are gross. Obviously not every Republican voter is a good person, but as a group, I see good Christian people that oppose the evil lefty cult. I spend time every week with a well meaning lifelong Democrat and all is well. Even that Democrat voter is grossed out by the current state of the party.

    I doubt anything matters anymore when it comes to politics. I don't think the Republic will be salvaged. I would love to see the next Republican president cut the Executive branches budgets by 25% each year but I doubt anything like that is realistic. It would be cool though. The swamp is a cancer upon humanity that won't be cured.

    With all due respect, I know lots of democrats who are truly good people. I do not agree with their social policies, but they are a far cry from what republicans spend on corporate welfare, wars and the ever-growing police-state.

    Nope. Not unless we can change hearts and minds which will take longer than this republic will last.

    The repuglicans are the very cause of it. You are barking up the very wrong party, my friend. That party is worse than evil. You have just been conditioned/indoctrinated/whatever that corporate welfare and police-state is better than social welfare. Turn anarchist, and then you'll see the truth ;-)

    Your whole post is blending politicians and voters, which are very different from one another. I will make my view very simple for you.

    100% of Democrat politicians are worthless.

    90% of Republican politicians are worthless.

    Democrat voters are mixed but dominated by communists, pedophiles, groomers, etc and the ones that aren't bad refuse top stand up to the freaks.

    Republican voters are mixed but at least speak positively about the Constitution, reducing spending, stopping foreign wars, getting married, having kids, protecting kids from groomers, etc.

    I have weighed the pros and cons of anarchy. I choose to stand with Republican voters, not anarchists. I am sure you would make a good neighbor but here in the USA the lines exist and Republican voters far outnumber the anarchists and I prefer them to be my neighbors vs Democrat voters.

    Your mileage may vary.

    Indoctrination is a tough thing to break out of. It took a while for me to change from repuglican to anarchist, but I'm glad I did ;-)

    I just wish they'd vote for it. Oh, they pat themselves on the back when they find someone to vote for who speaks positively about it. But they either vote for who they've rented or they vote for whoever makes them feel good, regardless of whether or not they ever vote for it. And then they have the chutzpah to complain about not getting it. And reelect the people who didn't give it to them.

    There are good people who self-identify both ways, but between hypocrisy, apathy, and most of all, stubborn pride, the vast majority of them are ultimately as much a part of the reason why we're in this mess as the ones who profit from all this evil.

    It shouldn't take that long to break out of if you are paying attention. Glad you made it!

    Well, I'm not asking anyone's age. But you've both been around here long enough that I can testify -- he beat you to it. You're glad you joined him, so you might work at not sounding condescending...

    Most Republican voters I know are doing the best they can with the options the corrupt Republican party provides. It seems to me the voters cam come a long way from 2007 and John McCain.

    It really comes down to the primaries. That is where the percentage of good politicians like Thomas Massie can be swapped in and the bad guys like Dan Crenshaw can be replaced. It is a painfully slow process and probably would yield results in time to save the Republic. In the meantime it is fun to make turds like Mike Johnson expose themselves as being more interested in keepng the scam going than working for Republican voters.

    Not that I need to prove anything to you, but if you are interested, I voted Badnarik in 2004 and didn't vote in 2000. Since Ron Paul in 2007 my voting has a purpose that you never seem to grasp.
