“Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act…to say nothing when a country is burning is to say something. It is to let the country burn.” - Robert K. Hudnut on Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Good for them. Assaults on the Christian faith and its adherents went so far so fast because of a lack of visible, organized resistance. Better late than never.
Daily reminder for all DeSantis supporters: the path to DeSantis 2028 does not run through supporting Trump 2024. Roads have clearly diverged. And a vote for Trump now also means empowering MAGA in ‘28, and the election after…
@RVAwonk
It really isn’t that impressive anymore. Even though I went to school longer than any MD’s I know, PhD’s have been so watered down that it just doesn’t mean what it used to. They’ve given away far too many doctorates for nonsense…Ala Yoel.
@DVATW
Almost all religions would have a ‘spirited’ reaction. Christianity is one of the few targets that won’t typically respond violently…which is exactly why they feel safe doing this. They know they are in no danger.
This is the reality. How MAGA treated DeSantis and his supporters pushed a significant % of conservatives away from Trump. MAGA’s encore? To continue to push them away for good.
#LoseForever
The DeSantis vs Trump primary pulled me away from Trump. To see him slander and rewrite history about the most successful governor in America was disgusting…
…yet we have to swallow that disgust and vote for “no-principles” Trump over a man who has our borders open, a terrible…
Unfollowing “conservatives” who left me in a huff for not joining them in their moral compromise and bowing to Trump = a super refreshing cleanse.
#HoldFast
This was always their end game. Where it goes next is you won’t be able to do business, bank, receive health care, travel, buy food, fuel or services, attend school, or have any part in society without their authorization.
I’m as pro-life as it gets but LifeNews hid my responses, lied, and then blocked me today when I questioned their attempts to position Trump as the most pro-life candidate: a matter of debate in which I believe we have no pro-life candidates. They have critiqued his positions in…
@healthbyjames
Hitler or Stalin debate? Curious how J&J will be viewed historically as well. Also a disaster but seems relatively benign by comparison.
DeSantis is who Trump claims to be and is not. Trump must crush the authentic leader to prop up the image of the false leader who pales by comparison w/ the real.
Why does Trump/MAGA still have such a problem with DeSantis? Libs of TiKTok lying about him is a perfect example.
Do they still deem him a threat somehow?
Is it because he is showing what real leadership is in FL?
Are they still bitter that he didn't kiss Trump's arse?
@visegrad24
Spent time in Moldova, and trying to get out. They have no chance to eject Russian occupation without serious outside help, IMO. 1500 is just on the surface. Tentacles run much deeper and Russia has been quietly controlling sections for decades.
DeSantis can never run again unless Trump is crushed and there is openness to a reset. Otherwise, MAGA will always oppose, as they already do after Ron’s endorsement. If Trump wins, Don Jr will run next and RDS will always be seen as an obstacle.
I hope Trump wins.
1. Republicans will have a chance in the future
2. DeSantis can run.
3. If he loses, everyone of his supporters will go to their graves making sure DeSantis is never president. Right or wrong, they will fully blame his base.
@MattWalshBlog
Surprised Jada is leading this. At least her husband still has a small shred of dignity and some hope for redemption. The others are all walking dead, including Harry. He just doesn’t know it yet. I can envision Will possibly making a come back, but the others?
Charlie Kirk just warned earlier this week that there is no ground game for Trump/GOP compared to Biden. Instead, Republicans charge a $100 ticket to people to come listen to speeches and buy their merchandise. Democrats don’t have these big, grifting events. They use their money…
@DVATW
This is what a declining culture begins to look like before its eventual collapse. The more this is normalized, the less Americans will agree on what “good” is or what the point of being united is, meaning good luck defending this nation in war. Who will fight/die to defend this?
Was on three more MAGA lists today. They think we are all “Dem bots” because they can’t fathom conservative resistance to Trump. Why? They aren’t conservatives. Check your lists and block.
@jakeshieldsajj
Sad stuff. Would be interested to see if there are patterns in home life and job status. Have read that men over 60, in general, are a rising crime demo, possibly due to alienation. Isolation and dissociation are dangerous foes.
Serious question. Why are so many MAGA accounts suddenly following me? Trolling or considering a change? Regardless, we would love to have you on Team DeSantis.
The obvious problem for MAGA, in taking over the GOP, is they don’t have a large enough coalition to win the general but glibly refuse to build one. It’s a Goldwater ‘64 problem, except with NY Liberals now leading the GOP into the general without enough conservatives. Good luck…
WATCH Trump Jr:
"That Republican Party no longer exists. The moves that happened - that’s the final blow. People have to understand that MAGA is the new Republican Party. That is conservatism today."
Trump will purge every effective conservative leader, if allowed, and replace with sycophants. It’s right out of Dictator 101. He is the “tyrant” the founders warned about.
News out of South Florida, Donald Trump overheard telling Staff members” We need to get Ron DeSantis out of the Governor’s office immediately”
Unconfirmed, but Highly Likely.

Will require a week to cover in future history courses. The Trail of Tears and Japanese Internment now have a 21st Century comparison. Began talking about Covid issues in classes in Jan 2020 and got complaints/threats it was off-topic for history. Now clear it is not.
No I'm not, I'm simply a conservative that refuses to vote for a Leftist.
Keep Coping little buddy.!
And I tell again, why would I vote for Biden.?.... I'm a conservative.!
Same reason I will not vote for Trump.
How's that soo hard to understand.?
MAGA/GOP didn't want my vote.!
@historyinmemes
Heart breaking. Infanticide was also a major problem in Victorian London due to the gov’t paying poor mothers for the loss of each child.
MAGA admitting they would vote for “Satan himself” is…telling. Biden and the Dems are a train wreck—totally oppose—but making a deal with Satan isn’t the only other option. Believing it is explains a lot.
@hypnoksa
In my experience, it’s not only what’s being taught in classrooms that leads to this but the culture on campus. This generation, in college, live Woodstock x3 on a daily basis. High school teachers likely indoctrinate students equally but college is where they join the bacchanal.
Larry is a history prof I once admired. But Larry became an occult apologist and abandoned the search for truth to shill for MAGA. Larry blocked me for pointing out his recent record of misinformation on behalf of Trump, especially in ‘20. It’s with some sadness that I bid…
@JackPosobiec
Home schooling becomes more attractive every day. I feel for the many kids, and some good teachers, trapped behind bars in institutions like that. And I’m shocked at how many admins won’t take accountability.
@officialJosh_A
@LibertyCCanada
Hero. Keep speaking truth. They tried to kill the apostles for doing the same. Timothy was even murdered for trying to stop a pagan celebration that contradicted the way of Christ. Proud of your courage.
Dear MAGA, most constitutional conservatives who now oppose Trump do not do so out of personal malice toward Trump or his followers. We do not have TDS. I have liked him personally since I first met him in Hollywood and voted for him 2x. I oppose because he pivoted left in ‘20,…
It's almost like Trump looked at the polling data and changed every policy position to win as many votes as possible. Actually, that's exactly what he did. Abortion, FISA, Ukraine, Obama care and there is sure to be more. How can he do this you ask? MAGA will support anything.
@MattWalshBlog
The more I research, the more I realize how far left Trump went in ‘20. The more I reflect, the more ashamed I am that I ever supported him. A lot can be compartmentalized and ignored in the heat of battle. But after the smoke cleared, I saw we suffered most from friendly fire.
What’s sad is that Bill, and others returning to Trump, are emasculating themselves just so that they can push their way back onto the Titanic right before it sinks.
#LoseForever
WHY are we still fighting with MAGA?!!!
The race is over. They won. Trump kicked our ass. Fine.
Time to focus on beating Biden.
We MUST close these borders.
This is bleak. Dems are clambering to replace Joe amidst massive negatives…and he still scores higher with his own party than Trump does with the GOP. Trump’s run is one of the most self-destructive things I’ve seen in politics. His message: “If I can’t have you, no one will.”
@JesseASweeney
@charliekirk11
Same immediate thought. If a conservative broke this law, with say a Christian or Star of David flag, they’d already be investigating.
@liz_churchill8
Remember when the ads and performances were the best part? Seems like they got a lot less entertaining long before they tried to add the illicit. Seems kinda like a cook adding an insane amount of spice to mask what’s really just bad food.
Besides running for president… What exactly did DeSantis do to Trump? Is it because he didn’t kiss his ass? Is it because he outshines Trump in every category? We certainly know it wasn’t personal attacks because DeSantis doesn’t do that. Does anybody have any other ideas?
@EndWokeness
All it takes is a quick glance at the “staff picks” section of the local library to see what the Post-Modern Deconstructionist and Neo-Marxist influences on education in the previous decades gifted us: skubalon / rubbish. Is the same even in many small towns. Thanks, Zizek.
@DC_Draino
GOP is already split. DeSantis is an effect of that, not a cause. Still, this gives Trump an opportunity to unite in the general if he can take the high road and be presidential. Run on record of success, rather than mud wrestle.
@EndWokeness
@grandoldmemes
The Podesta email leak in ‘16 pulled back the curtain on what had been rumored: Satanic enculturation of the elite. Then, they denied it. Now, they flaunt it. What changed?
Truth. If you previously voted for Obama and other Dems—and now support Trump, without changing any core beliefs—how are you in any way “conservative”? How is Trump?
Here's the biggest difference between me and a lot of Trump supporters.
In my entire history of voting have never once voted for a Democrat and cannot imagine myself voting for one in my lifetime.
Many Trump supporters have and would again.
Grok, what does Donald Trump most fear?
@grok
Donald Trump seems to have a variety of fears, ranging from legal repercussions to the loss of power and influence…his greatest fears include facing legal consequences for his actions, such as the potential for prison time due to…
Today’s Iowa caucus may well decide not only the GOP nom, and the validity of polls, but whether there even is a GOP anymore. If Trump wins, how many would rather see RDS launch a new conservative party than remain in GOP? He could well win a 3-way race vs Trump/Biden.
