Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign bashed her GOP competitors Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday, accusing them of trying to copy former President Trump.
Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney said in a memo that Haley has not been afraid to be open about the areas in which she agrees and disagrees with the former president and that she is the only one who can defeat him and President Biden.
“Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy fall all over themselves to copy Trump on everything from policy to his leadership style,” Ankney said.

If that’s the center of the Republican party today, you should be voting for the traditional center of the Republican party, the Democrats.

Are you sure you want to support the Nazi party instead?

I use Nazi to describe a party that is bigoted against multiple groups of people and trying to seize power and implement fascist policies. If you don’t like that the party you support is the Nazi party, I can’t help that. As an ethnic Jew, I saw the writing on the wall when it came to Republicans a long time ago.

Correct. There is no room for a middle ground when it comes to Nazis. You either support them or you don’t. And if you support them, what does that make you?

I am actually interested. Is all this current culture war part of a “well functioning government”? Does a “well functioning government” seek to focus on culture wars while cutting taxes, eliminating environmental protections, and eliminating technological progress in the background? Does your “well functioning government” include outlawing anything “woke”, bathroom bills, don’t say gay laws, laws that specifically seek to make the singular book “The Bluest Eyes” illegal to sell or loan to a child, outlawing trans care for adults, and instituting pregnancy checks for women at the border of abortion legal states? Is that the well functioning part? Because if not, you certainly shouldn’t consider yourself a Republican. Those things seem to be all any Republican Congress person can talk about these days.
And yes, I’m aware that they would lable my last sentence “woke” because I said Congress person, not congressman.

If you are a centrist republican then the only option is Biden. Even centrist republican politicians share many policies that echo policies of Nazi Germany, and the radical republicans that are running the party have been trying very hard for full on fascism.

Are you a Republican?
Tell me friend, do you support:
Child marraige predominantly expressed through older men marrying young girls with whom they can legally rape? (I don’t believe a child can consent, do you?)
Child labor, “the children are our future” but also we should steal their prime growth years so meat packing plants can find more meat for the grinders and not have to pay living wages.
Dissolution of the department of education to kill public education in America
Starving school children of low income families, many of which only get their highest quality meal at school
Unchecked capitalism resulting in an ever widening gap between the ultra rich and the rest of us, such that many are being priced out of any semblance of the lie that is the “American Dream” exploding the number of homeless?
Do you look down on the unhoused as just lazy entitled people who would surely squander any support on drugs, rather than your fellow Americans who are suffering hard times, mental illness, or both?
What about just flat out lawlessness, where one party is disinterested in enforcing laws against their party members and make threats of violence and civil war against any attempts by others to fairly apply the law? And instead they indicate an eagerness to lock up their political enemies despite being unable to bring any evidence of crimes?
Genuinely curious because you seem to be able to understand the current reality, but you cling to an ideal that i would guess has left you behind long ago.
I don’t think that’s really true. In particular, I think most or all of the saner/more stable/more centric Republicans abandoned the party in the wake of Trump’s insanity and are now Independents. Because only the lunatic fringe stayed on the ship, it’s now genuinely a lunatic fringe party overall.

Is it because they are well documented liars?
When Fox News successfully argued in court that no reasonable person would believe the content presented in Tucker Carlson’s production was factual or true, and was instead just entertainment, did that give you pause? Are you a reasonable person? If you’ve believed any of their programming Fox doesn’t think you are.
Or can I assume you don’t know about it because Right Wing media doesn’t cover any deficiencies of the conservative machine unless they’ve gotten out of line, and are instead just fascist cheerleaders willing to say anything for power? Ends justify the means afterall…
