in real life, i only socialize with republicans. i do not know one republican, in real life, that will support dt in 2024.
Two questions....
1. Do you ask people if they are Republicans or Democrats (or supporters of other parties) before you decide to (or not to) "socialize" with them?
Either way, I have no real beef with you but if what you say is true, that probably makes you an even more shallow person than I would have assumed you are.
2. Have you actually asked EVERY Republican you have socialized with if they will support DT in 2024
or are you just stating those you have asked - said they won't/wouldn't?

New President - New Gutter. I am going to pledge my allegiance to Donald J. Trump and for the next 4 years I am going to be an even bigger asshole than I already am.
So they folks who gave us "alternative facts" now give us another gem "subjectively believe".
Former President Donald Trump's legal team threatened to sue the cable network CNN for defamation, and the letter signals his attorneys are using a strategy likely to be a central defense should he ever face criminal charges related to his role in attempts to cling to power despite losing the 2020 election.
In the 282-page document, his lawyers said that the television network repeatedly said that Trump was "lying" and "fed a narrative that denounced President Trump's legitimacy and competency" following the presidential election.
The lawyers said CNN's portrayal of Trump is inaccurate because Trump "subjectively believes" there was election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
One of the likely defense strategies Trump's lawyers could employ is to argue that he genuinely believed that there was election fraud and did not have the intent to commit a criminal act.
For instance, in the document, the lawyers go into more detail about how Trump did not lie about election fraud by writing the full definition of that word.
"Webster's Dictionary defines a 'lie' as an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker to be untrue with intent to deceive," they wrote. "The definition, then, is not limited to simply being wrong about an assertion; it instead requires the speaker to know he or she is speaking falsely and to specifically harbor an intent to mislead. "
The Trump lawyers also argued that numerous claims after the election suggested that there were problems with vote counting — assertions that would prove baseless and failed in courts when they were presented at all.
"Substantial numbers of Americans shared President Trump's genuinely-held view that voter fraud affected the results of the 2020 election," the lawyers wrote.
So the fact that a lot of republican rubes believed his lies is supportive evidence that he had good reason to believe his own lies? Is that their position?
Doesn't the fact that numerous members of his own party and cabinet told him he lost and there was no large scale fraud, undermine his argument that he was mentally competent if he isn't a liar?
I guess if they actually file the lawsuit we would get to see trump take the stand and testify under oath as to the basis for these deeply held beliefs.

And many child molesters "subjectively believe" that it is OK for adults to have sexual relationships with minors. Good luck with that defense, Mr. Trump. I hope that fool takes the stand in a court case.

When the desire to "own a lib" becomes your primary function as a political party then your political party ceases to exist for any productive purpose whatsoever. Just sad and pathetic what they have allowed themselves to become.
fortunately, nobody here is an elected representative
imagine the horror of people discussing politics on a politics board
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Sorry, but some of you spend way too much time trying to "own the pubs" to complain about them trying to "own the libs". Imo of course.
Carry on kids.
As I have stated before, I feel too many people don't spend enough time paying attention to the insane pubs. If you ignore a problem it remains an issue and doesn't get resolved.

I don't harbor some sort of "you can only complain about something if you have never done something that someone else might complain about" notion as that is ignorant and childish so I think I'll just keep right on complaining about the disgusting actions, events, policies, statements and comments made by members of the GOP and their supporters.
That CPAC conference wasn't limited to just a bunch of random citizens sitting around discussing the state of politics in America. It was a major political event held by the Republican Party and many Republican Party politicians participated. If you don't understand the difference then you're truly stuck in Bothsiderism hell and cannot figure out how to shut that off in your own brain.
