Random Political Discussion

I'm more worried about the smugness, the certainly, about it all. On the one hand they point out how modern cultural mores, post-modernist sympathies, and law changes over the past 60 years have opened up political access and even advantage while on the other hand their amusement at success in turning the tables and staging a perfectly legal (in their eyes, right and proper) coup against the ethnic and religious majority of the US.

It is taking place in a very "slowly boil the frog" manner. The UK seems to have merely reached a more :in your face" stage already.

Is anyone else surprised by all the Trump-endorsed candidates winning their primaries? I was a bit disappointed that the Trump-endorsed Ken Paxton won the Texas republican primary unseating John Cornyn.

I know a lot of people consider Cornyn a "RINO," but I thought he was an effective politician. He still had a mind of his own and was not in "party lock-step." I'm sorry that Paxton won; I consider him a person of low moral character and a bit shady, but I suppose that's the political MO. A lot of people don't believe Paxton can beat the democrat's rising star and nutjob Talirico (a professed Christian who believes there are 6 sexes. 🤡 :oops:)
 
Sad to report that Chip Roy lost his bid for Texas Attorney General. I hope he will remain in politics at some level. Statement from Roy... "“I have the second-highest score of any member of Congress in terms of fidelity to the Republican platform, and alignment with President Trump,” Roy told supporters at Blanco BBQ in March. “But I unapologetically have stood up when I disagree with the President because it is my job to do it … and you need people willing to do it.”

I was gonna ask what you thought of the outcome. I was a little surprised that Trump's support was not the kiss of death, based upon media rhetoric. I still maintain that the ginned-up hatred for Trump is because he is a disruptor of bilateral corruption.

I'm not sure how I feel about the direction things are going. There is frustration with the Do Nothing Party, so the pendulum may swing. I would like to see the SCOTUS ruling that gutted the Enumerated Powers clause overturned, Then, the idiots in DC would hold less sway over us, and the scope of corruption would be narrowed. "Do Nothing" is a good state of being for politicians, as long as both sides are (or are not) doing (or not doing) it.
