way ahead of you bro....
I’m not old enough yet but I would never ask how old you must be …
I waited a year so I get 80%, I signed up when Trump got elected figuring his crowd couldn't wait to start their howler monkey chorus of privitize SS bullshit. I figured 80% of something was better than 100% of nothing and that with all the freaky shit going on they just might pull it off. Waiting until I qualified for 100% wouldn't have paid off until I was 84.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

I’m not believing liberals are this naive or too dumb not to be in tune with the way it works, I could be wrong though.

If Rick Perry is a ‘RINO,’ Texas GOP may become small enough to meet in a Starbucks | Opinion
Rick Perry is a vital figure in the story of how Republicans came to dominate Texas. But amazingly, to some short-sighted party members who seem to think winning just happens, folks like Perry are deserving of the meanest label they can muster: RINO, or Republican in name only.

Perry, you see, happens to believe in things like compromising to get things done and working with Democrats in the Legislature on nonpartisan issues. Can’t have that in the new Texas GOP, or at least the sliver of it that threatens to dominate Tuesday’s primaries.

They’re pushing to make Republican fights about school vouchers, the impeachment of Ken Paxton, and whether Democrats should be allowed to chair legislative committees. They want to purify the party, over and over again. But even in Texas, they risk declaring so many people RINOs that, eventually, maybe a lot of swing voters won’t vote Republican at all.

It’s a sickness that afflicts the national party, too. It’s not about attracting more voters and winning bigger margins in the Legislature or competing in urban counties again. It’s about getting the most highly distilled, holier-than-thou candidate on the ballot.

Political parties are supposed to be broad coalitions. This one wants to be so pure that it will eventually be small enough to meet at a Starbucks.
...
But this could catch up with the GOP. Bush, Perry and others built the Republican majority by focusing on jobs and growth, better schools, cutting taxes and mainstream conservative positions on social issues such as abortion. The current batch doesn’t say nearly as much about maintaining Texas’ economic power, improving public schools or creating jobs.
Is the Republican Party sowing the seeds of it's own destruction?

Yes. I was warning of this on here in 2021.

Missed opportunity one is Ganny’s idea that they should have impeached Trump the 2nd time. Two was allowing MAGA to gain momentum in during the mid-terms and into the Primary. Both resulted with most of the remaining rational members of the party jumping ship. They’ve ceded full control now and this will leave the GOP at lost in the wilderness for years to come.

Part of this reason for missed opportunity one was that it should have been the first impeachment. The actual first impeachment was based on circumstantial evidence and shouldn't have been pursued. Democrats poisoned the well on impeaching trump.

Globalism 101

Do the most outrageously idiotic unimaginable things
that only lazy clueless idiots would vote for

Open the border let 25 million new Dem voters in enticed with all the enabling benefits… create dependency on big gov with the masses

Create extra house seats filled by liberal USA hating squads

In about 15 years when they grow up and start leaning conservative ….

Open borders again

If Republican miraculously gets elected… double down on lying and envoke 4th estate

This has all been planned out very well by the connivers
