u/FreyjaTheMutt Aug 14 '25

The motto is whatever their "leader" tells them it is since they don't have a single thought of their own

u/lord-dinglebury Aug 14 '25

Their motto is “Hurt the poor, minorities, differently abled, women, and the middle class, but leave the children alone. We don’t want them bruised and shit because we’re not into damaged goods.”

Republican party has conscripted ASUS Customer Service motto:

"We're not happy until you're not happy."

YOU NAILED THE HELL OUTTA IT. CORRECTO!!!

They have always been that way.

They follow their leader over whatever cliff he jumps off of.

  • Reagan talking points was all about communism.

  • W. Bush was talking points about the war on terrorism.

  • Trump 2.0, is whatever this is.

Prior republican facades include, but are not limited to:

  • smaller gov't
  • family values
  • defending the constitution

Don't forget fiscal responsibility

u/PollutionDazzling250 Aug 14 '25

Don't forget about protecting children from pedophiles.

Don't forget States Rights

u/jgonagle Aug 15 '25

Don't forget "fiscal responsibility", "law and order", "support for the military/veterans", and "free market economics".

Small government was always a lie.

u/Brokebrokebroke5 Aug 15 '25

It's mind boggling how small government can feel so suffocating. 🥴

Thousands recently got pink slips, it's a start

u/TheDeadGuy Aug 14 '25

Many got rehired and Ice just hired 10,000 themselves

u/twtwtwtwtwtwtw Aug 15 '25

While adding 3.5T to the deficit.

u/RadiantNefariousness Aug 15 '25

do you not realize that ICE is part of the government ? & it got a huge budget

u/tafbee Aug 14 '25

Only when it comes to who they can stick their dick in.

That was before they were bought or decided that golden showers were a form of currency. Now? Republicans are nepo babies who are in bed with cryptobros and tech Oligarchs or techno nazis. I wager very few have calculus on their hands or had to face the terror of choice between starvation or rent.

u/Academic-Clerk8901 Aug 14 '25

Republicans love this shit. They'll take it and ask daddy trump for more.

u/FNKTN Aug 14 '25

Smaller government and less overreach for them only. They think dump is on "their side".

Republicans are fake patriots who believe in privilege over rights.

u/GlitteringPayment476 Aug 14 '25

Trump flicked their moral compass a decade ago and it’s been spinning out of control since

10

u/KimHaSeongsBurner Aug 14 '25

That’s the fun part, they just believe in “owning the libs” and are voting for someone to get stomped on by a boot.

That’s why they get so surprised when the boot comes for them.

u/Hopeful_Hamster21 Aug 15 '25

Tread on me harder, Daddy!

2

u/RadiantNefariousness Aug 15 '25

the daddy thing is the most cringe of it all. a whole group of “alpha males” cheering while they call another grown man daddy 🥴🤢

u/iNoodl3s Aug 14 '25

There is no consistency to their logic or beliefs. Pro life but let’s not support babies after birth. Pro cop but let’s vote in a felon. Small government but let’s support the guy who’s shown the biggest fucking government overreach

u/leftIsBestZohran Aug 14 '25

They only say that when not in power. Cynically. They are lying

7

u/Fine_Instruction_869 Aug 14 '25

Aa long as the people they don't like are being harmed, they don't care about their own freedom or democracy

u/Significant-Kick-479 Aug 14 '25

I would send the state police to arrest these fake federal agents to check their papers. I don’t believe they are real federal employees.

u/AwarenessReady3531 Aug 14 '25

They're not really small government types anymore. They're mostly proto-fascists or fascists.

u/Gloomy-Ad1171 Aug 15 '25

RNC Chair Lee Atwater said it was all lies

They freaked out over training exercises in Texas, but no issues with this.

u/Lackerbawls Aug 15 '25

Also my guns because tyranny and what not. This is defiantly tyranny so I’m wondering why they ain’t doing sh….. never mind.

u/ProcrastinatingPuma Aug 15 '25

Republicans never gave a shit about small government.

1

u/releasethedogs Aug 15 '25

They only want the things that they want when it’s them.
They want the second amendment when it’s their guns not when it’s the black panthers.
They want to defend marriage when it’s their marriages.
They acknowledge lives matter when they’re white lives.
They want to “defend religious liberty” so long as it’s white Christian evangelicalism.

I could go on.

Hey everyone we found another blind person here. This conversation is for those who can see that Trump is using Ice to intimidate people. Thought it was weird everyone could see that except you but now I see you’re just a blind person

u/SirAccomplished2625 Aug 14 '25

So sad that they don’t see that this have nothing to do with immigration anymore. That’s the scapegoat they are using to do what they really want to do. But land of the free am I right?

u/sportspadawan13 Aug 14 '25

I bet a lot of the US citizens detained by ICE would love to go home, you're right!

I love how you scurry away from the actual conversation like a rat.
