Johnathan Allen spoke to Trump supporters in Pennsylvania and found some willing to pay more at the pump while others were calling it quits with Trump.
A couple weeks ago I had a back-and-forth with a conservative poster who staunchly believed that the GOP is still the “Party of Lincoln.” I was telling them how that wasn’t the case anymore, described the fifth party system, explained that the two parties switched views in the mid-20th century. They responded by saying I had been brain-washed by the MSM and calling me a sheep. I hadn’t seen so many emojis in a reply since ~2009, so I shrugged them off as a bot.
Maybe I gave them the benefit of the doubt a bit too freely.

Sure they have, but not since the shift to the 5th party system.
Conservatives have certainly never made life better for the working class, but Republicans haven’t always been conservative.

funny the one that started the whole movement had alzheimers dementia and the current one has it as well.
Hilariously, we’re now doomed to repeat history.
Some people liked Theodore Roosevelt.
Not by the numbers, no.
