    Seems that a good number of posters fundamentally disagree with this statement?

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    Disagree with the natural right framing, but not the choice to make this a practical axiom

    My political evolution, highly condensed 

    1980s: Can’t vote but love America and Reagan and Bush and hate the Russians and Dukakis and the Democrats suck

    1990s-2000: I can vote and the Clintons fucked us and oh thank God Gore lost.

    2003: Iraq?  Really?  Fuck this, I’m done for now, and will sit out/vote 3rd party while the GOP realigns a little

    2008: Sarah Palin?  Really?  Fuck this, I like John McCain on some things, but I will keep sitting out/voting 3rd party and hoping the GOP gets its shit together.

    2012: The world didn’t end with Obama winning.  Not a big fan of Romney.  Still staying away from the GOP

    2016, 2020, 2024: The GOP must lose. By a lot.  I’m never coming back.

    Better late than never.  Talking about me, pretty much along this timeline, esp re Iraq.

    Mom used her knitting needle on the back of our legs. 
    Stung like hell when she flicked her wrist. 
    When she said “Go get my knitting needle”, just those words would turn us brothers into a sobbing puddle of tears.

    Dad just gave us a good swift kick in the ass with the side of his foot.

     

    Mom used a flyswatter.   Or her Mule slipper.

    I’ve been reading ‘The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,’ and it’s interesting to see the similarities between Hitler and his cronies rise to power and the actions of Trump and his cronies in America. It all feels very familiar. That little bald bitch Stephen Miller must have Goebbels’ face on his bedsheets.

    A fantastic book - the author was a journalist ther during theb30’s

    All I’m saying is Nikki Haley is objectively a massively more competitive and viable candidate than Trump, under normal circumstances. 

    It is also very possible Trump and his base would intentionally sabotage Nikki’s general election candidacy

    The Trump cult is poison to the GOP and the conservative movement 

    What is this conservative movement you speak of?
