Will we be a democracy anymore? I have already cast my vote for Ilhan. It seems the only accusations the Trump administration has are that she was 18 not 17 when she applied for citizenship which seems weak to deport a sitting congress person. This seems like a political tactic commonly used to punish and get rid of the political opposition commonly used in authoritarian states. Its extra egregious especially considering how close to an election we are. Not to mention all the other ways democracy is being subverted. AKA subversion of the judiciary (reducing independence), attacks on free speech (the press), extreme gerrymandering, and this 5k check if Republicans win (never going to happen). I'm sure there are countless more examples of democracy being undermined.

So, would Ilhan Omar being deported be the final straw that we can no longer consider ourselves a democracy?

Israel always donates and gives stuff to isereal why? I just want a president that fixes our problems and stops giving money to isereal and support countries that are actually in need Palestine, Africa and more countries are in need why does us fund specifically isereal

Do Republicans REALLY think that Dems are responsible for high prices?

I was watching a town hall yesterday and the Republican rep (Andy Harris) said, "Yes! Prices ARE out of control and gas is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! And do you know WHY its so expensive? Democrats are fighting everything and the Democratic environmental policies are driving every day living costs up."

The folks in the town hall started laughing and the rep got mad end shook his head.

Do Republicans really truly believe that our cost of living is all democratic fault? Dems havent had control of any chamber or white house for 2 years now.

I saw another news clip where they were interviewing maga after a Trump rally yesterday and they were swearing up and down that we have Iran under control and the pres is doing a great job etc.

I realize maga are too far gone so im asking on the Republican side......is everything we are going through the Dems fault? How could anyone POSSIBLY see it like that? Is it willfull blindness? Cult mentality? Uneducated people? A mixture of ot all?

I know we can spend the entirety of this thread doing some good ol fashioned Trump bashing but im looking for serious answers here people.

I appreciate all of you guys time

Anyone know how to navigate a relationship with parents that is split by politics. My dad is very maga hail trump etc. It hurts my feelings as a woman that he thinks mental health episodes are not real, abortion is murder, a woman should stay at home with kids( if not you dont love them), ice is good and needs no repercussion, we need to defund federal benefits and just so much more that is sexist, racist and homophobic. Im so tired of it and it makes me not like him. He generally narcissistic and will never hear me out when i explain how some of his views hurt me and offend me. I try to talk and he screams for me to go away or says his view will be right bc he served in the military. I am 22 recent graduate moving soon just looking for jobs etc. but i wanna have a good relationship but idk this is just preventing me from it.( this and his overall narcissistic habits lol). What do i do, can i get to him or is it a lost cause. Maybe ill feel better when im moved out and established… just sucks bc so many of his views look at me as less than.
