Former Republican Voter After Capitol Riot: I Want No Association With This Party Anymore | NBC News
Two percent of the Republican party, the rich greety ones (Huns) have manipulated the system to their benefit and done zero for the rest, I can't recall ever seeing one of them at a protest, I've only heard them on the radio stirring up anger, and have been benefitting from this game for a long time, in order for it to keep working, they have to keep creating enemies of the people, nothing is off the table anymore, if it makes dollars it makes sense, no one is worth more than my next pay day, is the G.O.P. say, so watch out you new Rpbcn fish, or you could get pacmanned when they select you as ammo bait of the week…
NBC Nothing But Communist in this thread…..and police defunders aka Democrats
I'm not a republican. I'm a mean shameless conservative that values the constitution. I use to be a independent conservative, but those days ended in 2016.
the problem i see with the republican party is they have absolutely zero policies how people can align with a party that has no ideas or platform for the future is beyond me all they do is attack liberals and just talk about abortion,guns and jesus
0:25, How is flying the United States Marine Corps flag being a patriot when you are attacking the United States Capitol and launching an assault on American Democracy?!!
Being on the right was like being in a weird trance
Enemy within walk among us
January 6, 2021 the republican party some of our military went against the constitution police department fire department doctors nurses lawyers Business executives business owners rich poor alike you are your father‘s children this was worse than 911 because these people supposed to be the citizen of this country done all of this damage to this country in the name of a fool Donald Trump committed a insurrection against our Country under the name of our former president Donald Trump and Moscow Mitch, this yoke of insurrection will stay on the Republican parties neck it will go down in infamy,
"We could lose a voice in this" – The republickan party and trump killed 616,920 Americans with their corrupt and incompetent response to Covid-19. They continue to refuse to mask or get vaccinated. They are not the "Party of Personal Responsibility" they never were. They are a party of terrible twos toddlers: when asked to help they melt down completely.
I bet this guy gets threats from maga daily
Stfu you fools did the most for four years and you have the audacity to play victim when the other side plays the game. Maxine, Pelosi, Kamala, Biden, Hillary and others all saying get out there or we need to fight with people attacking bystanders who they deem morally inferior and are a contradiction, shutting down traffic, raiding courts and embassies, hurting far more police, destroying and looting businesses some of which are black/minority owned, vandalizing everything indiscriminately, causing billions in damages, shouting death threats, some calling for socialism or communism, suppressing people of all color trying to preach which is within their rights etc, throwing up Nazi fist salutes etc with democrats claiming fake collusion four years on top of impeachment’s over nothing but hatred trying to overthrow the vote of the people when he won in states that made sense with the electoral college. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
I wasnt involved in the first one but if they do it again i will try my best to go now . When your vote dont count all thats left is physical force .
We need riots to remove the democrat terrorist from Washington. You cant vote them out ..they fix elections in the open . The protection force that took a oath to defend the constitution is protecting democrats while they disassemble the constitution.
If the 12 buses that had antifa and black lives matter and the hired agitators stayed home we would have had no problem. NOT to mention the fake News. FACts do matter.
WHY ????? Be PROUD Of Who And What You ARE !!!!!
We need a recount of the Republican party votes I don't believe they won without cheating they're trying to cheat now and they're going to cheat in the future
The Republicans want their Trump rally friends to get away with killing a cop at the Capitol but they don't want everybody to vote because they want to cheat their way through it I think they need a recount of their votes cuz I think they cheated and they're trying to cheat now recount their votes too if you're going to recount buy them you might as well recount it all because they're sorry losers
First things first Trump was never for the people he was always about himself which I could see right from the start. Because his words were always wishy washy there by causing people such that put all of their faith and trust in Trump instead of putting their faith and trust in god. And as this pandemic continues to linger on conservatives are still holding to the idea. Of this pandemic being a hoax when in reality it's real right from the very start it's been a whole year since this pandemic took off , and it's given a lot of people time to plan and think to do something good or bad. Which leads me to the lead January 6 , 2021 capitol riot now I am not saying that Trump gave his minions the green light to storm the capitol , but the words he's been speaking over the. Years has been sitting inside the minds of every conservative across world meaning that these conservatives are incapable of changing their small thinking , and in their minds the. Only way to make sure that they stay in power is by overthrowing the government but in the very end the deep rooted hatred conservatives continuously carry in their hearts , and each and everyone of those. Closed minded conservative lives are about to be changed for the worst meaning that whatever sentencing is given to each of them they'll be living it out for the rest of their life.
Violence is what republicans party no values of constitution
I hate all lying no good lousy Democrats
Pretty sure Abraham Lincoln is rolling in his grave right about now. Ashamed of what his former party has become.
Fake media. How about last summer madness!? The BLM and Antifa their burned a lot of city. Thats terrorism!
Yet you guys do not want article on anybody saying the same thing about Black Lives matter and all the 'actual' rioting that they've done for over a year now…. Way to give us the news. This is why no one watches the news anymore, might as well tune in to Chinese state run media….. There's really no difference between our media and China's media, we just have more independent non mainstream media
The party has been hijacked and is really scummy now. Republicans take back your party before it's destroyed. Fascist cannot have a voice and it reflects upon all of you
Some Idiots stormed the capitol, so I don't think Pro-Life arguments are good anymore. 😂😂 That's dumb, even for a republican.😂
You have been hoodwinked like everyone else.
We don't need PARTIES. What we need is the candidate's name and their measures. That's it! The higherpower wants to continue the party system so that we can continue to be divided
The republicans need to start a Real Republican Party to save themselves from the Trump/Fascist Party members wearing a Republican suit.
They fly a flag on failure
Republicans have hated this country for decades. This is the culmination of their alignment and playing footsie with demented morons and low lifes. Problem is they are a minority party and will associate with any ilk for a vote. SAD.
This always happens after a horrible administration, it happened after Nixon, it happened after G.W. Bush and it's happening now after Trump.
Conservatives are cursed with short memories and within a couple of years their platitudes will sound better then the truth again and people will start joining again, the more fascist the better for these people.
We all know it’s just paid dems acting
Thomas Jefferson was DEAD WRONG ABOUT THIS STATEMENT Which Splintered this Country for so many centuries! " I think argue is a wonderful way of expressive debates & collied differences! That kind of thought makes us separate with paranoia.!!🇺🇸 🎵 This land is my ðŸÂ• 🎶 🎵This land is your ðŸÂÂÅ“ 🎶🎵This land is OUR ðŸÂÂÂÂ🎶 FOR The United States of America 🇺🇸 ðŸâ€â€Ã‚½Ã°Å¸Å½Â¶Ã°Å¸Å’ÂÂ
Do you think the fake news is telling the TRUTH all the time?
If you do? YES ur STUPID. And all left wing Dems think the opposite of the truth because are simply following the direction of the LEFT WING FAKE NEWS
I'll give an EXAMPLE. Look up OPPORTUNITY ZONES on GOOGLE.
A BUSINESS MAN KNEW he could get INVESTORS to INVEST MONEY into LOW INCOME DEPRESSED areas if they got EXCEPTIONAL TAX BREAKS.
Would MORE construction, BETTER HOUSING, BETTER equiped PARKS & other recreational facilities & MORE STRIP MALLS help those areas?
If course! Better quality of life! More jobs! Opportunities to find something you'd like to do!
Something to get good at!. Instead of killing, stealing, dealing?
Trump came up with the idea in his first year in office! MANY MANY MANY INVESTORS HAVE STEPPED IN!!!!
But, of course your FAKE NEWS has NEVER told you about it or REPORTED IT AT ALL.
The fake news's MOST COMMON LIES are lies of OMISSION.
MEANING THEY LEAVE OUT OERTINENT FACTS ON A SUBJECT!
IN THIS AND IN MANY CASES THEY LEAVE OUT THE WHOLE SUBJECT.
PEOPLE ARE HAPPY WHEN THEY ARE BUSY.
TRUMP CREATED THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATES EVER.
The other lies start off with SOURCES SAY! LOL
By the way, over 8,000 INVESTORS have INVESTED in OPPORTUNITY ZONES.
You should wake up now unless ur too stupid.
They are lying all day to you.
Why do you keep calling him "President"? He is not the President and he never has been a President! He has been to this country all that he is and that is a con artist!
He's already gone! Lol Crazy lol
All because of lies from the mouth of a "man" who lies as much as he breathes.
That is the unavoidable fact of right wing policies: they are not and never have been for the people.
Rather they seek to secure rights for the wealthy to whatever cost of the "common people" – they tend to sow divisions between the "true" natives of a region and those who do not look or think like them.
They play on lies to upset people, and call it 'their call to freedom'. If they wish for freedom and small government, they would refuse to get an abortion amongst themselves, but not interfere in whether anyone else is "free" to get one (no one wants an abortion, but the emergency of a situation could require it), just as an example.
It is blatant BS, and I don't understand how people keep looking that way thinking ,,this might add some progress to the society I live in"…
The lack of a socialist movement in the US throughout the last 70 years is showing more and more clearly – a result of conservative thinking (also on the part of 'Democrats', no doubt about it), but it was more or less illegal to be a socialist from the 50's and onwards – even the meekest of utterings on social justice or workers right would get you fired from your job, shone from your social life and, in the worst case, interned or jailed.
->So much for the freedom of speech and opinion, huh…
-True realized conservatism would lead back to a feudalistic society, where the workers would be at the mercy of their lords, the new land owners = the CEO's of today, and we are actually not that far from this coming to fruition.
What will happen to the Republicans
Well since their party has been split between moderates and trump extremists Democrats will win every US elections in the next 2 decade.
I was “duped†by former President Donald Trump and am now unable to provide for my daughter and disabled wife.
"I was following Trump's directive". As a result of this experience, I have learned not to be so gullible
and will not be so easily duped again. – J.Hughs (Capitol rioter)..
Mn
It will takes decades if they're doing soul searching.
The Republican party owes America an apology!!! recognize its error!!!
The best way to fix the GOP, get rid of all the tea party, trump supporters, right wing radicals. People like Ron Johnson are killing the party, and then there is Cruz, and so on. Republicans, if you want a party to survive, get rid of the cancers amongst you.
