You nailed the problem.

Trump won the GOP nomination in 2016 by being the loudest and most outrageous misogynist race baiting xenophobic gay bashing religious bigoted flag waiving gun toting lying hypocrite in the field.

So the question is, will supporting the 2nd loudest and most outrageous misogynist race baiting xenophobic gay bashing religious bigoted flag waiving gun toting lying hypocrite in the field satisfy the electorate enough to still come out and vote or not vote for a 3rd party?

My guess is in 2020, YES for ALMOST all, especially since Trump will be at the top of the ticket, they will this time come out to vote in 2020. But in the future when Trump is not at the top of the ticket, it will cost them more than just money. That is backing the 2nd instead of the 1st loudest and most outrageous misogynist race baiting xenophobic gay bashing religious bigoted flag waiving gun toting lying hypocrite in the field will cost Republicans some votes that could matter in state wide elections like for governor especially when Trump is not on the ballot.

Hating on stigmatized populations seems to keep people from taking stock in their surroundings.

Like why is socio-economic inequality so high.

The worse part is those “pundits” complaining that Democrats have lost touch with the rural white voters and that they should try to reach out to them. Of course not, the last thing we need is the two major parties catering to the most reactionary segment of the society.

She really represents the worst aspects of the Republican party openly, which is far more honest than what the rest of the Republican cowards are doing when they don’t say anything about Trump’s awfulness but go along in the hope that he continues to help them win. We shouldn’t allow Republicans to act like this woman is “too much” for them, when she’s really no different than the current head of the party.

The GA 14th district ( where I lived until last fall) is the 10th most conservative district in the country. While there are pockets of beleaguered, wonderful Democrats, it is profoundly pro confederacy. Every stereotype you have of white poor conservatives is exemplified there. Also worthy of note, every week or two a white guy or two is arrested for underage sex, doing it or procuring it. As much as I loved the floral and fauna, I am relieved to live in Atlanta.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

His slogan is “Pro Trump, pro life, pro gun,” and he got into a recent tiff with Greene over who was more vocal in their hatred of antifa.

I know people can be really good in a specialized field but I still would not want one of these GOP brain surgeons foolin around in my head. They and their klan cause me enough headaches.

Your use of the term “reactionary” really nails it.

Reactionary is defined by political scientists as people motivated above all by “a desire to resist the liberation of marginal or powerless people."

The perfect conservative Republican female candidate: she has the looks of a FoxToons Plastic Peroxide Princess, the combined IQ (12) of Steve Doocy and Chanel Rion (journamalists extraordinaire at FoxToons and OANN, disrespectfully), the personality of smegma, and the politics of Caligula.
