If a moderate Republican with a diverse staff and an ability to maintain decorum were to step up, I think things could swing back toward the center. But MAGA is literally stoking fires in our country and the sad honest truth is most of the people supporting this are not intelligent enough to realize they are in a cult that is making a mockery out of white Christians.

Go search social media to see what people are getting out of Truth Social. It’s some seriously crazy sad stuff. Even if you dislike the far left, you cannot compare it to the psychotic break of the far right.

you conveniently left out the psychotic break of the far left. the fear mongering and belief that the world will actually end under Trump is alive and well. not to mention burning of American flags and literal pro-terrorism rhetoric in response to Biden’s Israel policy and support.

This. The far left is also a cult. The problem is we’ve lost independent critical thinking in favor of group think all around. Left socialist who is now a moderate here. I’m not voting for either party. You have all lost your damn minds.

But the far left has almost no representation among elected Dems and the far right is the mainstream of elected R’s.

+1 The far left has no power, the far right currently controls the U.S. House of Representatives.

And I'll add..it's possible he is being groomed to run in 2028.

And that probably won't change because I, like so many, will vote blue for POTUS just because alternative is Trump, but red for everything else....I'm focusing more on 2028 if you really must know.

Trump is going to win the working-class voters because Democrats fail to understand that social policies and woke ideology makes them lose

Trump winning or losing I think will all depend on who Harris picks for her VP.

That being said, current social policies and woke ideology is what has driven many to the right. It needs to be reined in a bit. Just take a look at all the attacks on JK Rowling. That is wrong IMHO and I have LGBTQ friends. I stand with JK Rowling, she has the right to her opinion and beliefs. That does not make her anti-LGBTQ.

She shouldn’t be getting death threats, but her anti-LGTBQ beliefs are what make her anti-LGBTQ.

Nope. We'll have to agree to disagree. Because saying you don't believe minors should get gender re-assignment surgery is not anti-LGBTQ. It's not anti-LGBTQ to personally not believe the different genders either - it's called freedom of religion and is a protected class to be equally protected. I respect LGBTQ and their beliefs but vice versa should also stand true.

You are speaking for JK Rowling?

WTF does religion have to do with being a bigot? Oh wait…

And therein lies the problem and the breakdown because folks like you go straight for name-calling. You can't accept the fact that someone can support LGBTQ rights but also have a difference of opinion on certain specific issues. Moderates are tired of the intolerance of their differences of opinion. Why can't you accept that we have differences of opinion on certain issues...must we all agree to only your opinions? Fine, take religion out of it....differences of opinion should be respected. Agree to disagree. Compromise.

+1.

We are the silent majority. The woke are very vocal about their beliefs online, which misleads them to assume they are the majority when they are not.

[phone]

And honestly, I blame them for the mess our country is in now just as much as I blame the far-right extremist Christians who want to ban abortion. If common sense had prevailed and their intolerance (oh, the irony) were not an issue, we would not have Trump as the only Republican nominee this year. They are no better and just as divisive as the far-right extremist Christians.

The difference is, of course, the "woke" left are a fringe. The religious fundamentalists are core to the current MAGA/GOP and leadership.

Kinda important.

Kinda important to understand that many who were on the fence went pro-Trump because of the intolerant cancel culture of the "woke" left. And the more I hear that kind of talk, the more I'm willing to right the pendulum that went far off balance to the left. And being taxed more for just making $200K is not OK in my book either. I also don't believe in socialist universal health care as many EU countries have because I know firsthand how imperfect it is. And my stance on illegal immigration...well you know...the more I think about it and seeing the continued intolerance from the "woke" left...don't be too surprise if Trump wins and you will only have yourselves to blame.

I don’t understand how people immediately pivot to “we can’t have socialist healthcare!!” when our healthcare system is demonstrably failing really badly on so many different metrics.

Shortages of medical professionals, sky high costs in every respect, high infant and maternal mortality rates, medical debt driving people into bankruptcy, hedge funds taking over hospitals and closing them or making doctors lives miserable, on and on and on.

But socialism is the problem? Sorry pp we desperately need intervention and it’s going to take some policies inspired by “socialism” because medical capitalism is JUST. not. Working. Sorry, its not.

I agree - we need health care reform just like we need immigration reform, but the two toddlers (Dems and Reps) need to stop it with their tantrums and work together to create bipartisan reforms that work for the majority of the US constituency. There will have to be compromise on both sides though.

Since they are ALL in the pocket of various big money entities, this won’t happen. Division and dissolution of the US with politicians selling out country to get fat off self-interest is the name of the game.
