I for one would love to see it happen. I hate Lindsey Graham and really the entire SC GOP in general. For such a red state they produce some of the most horrid RINOs imaginable.

Term limits alone won't be enough. We need to get money out of politics.

Sadly Pelosi will never retire. That witch will remain in power until the day she dies.

Agreed 100%. Libertarianism sounds great on paper, and for the longest time I was very much of the "you do you" mindset, but in practice such a mindset has done nothing but cause degenerecy and criminality to run amok and for the left to only grow stronger and stronger. We need to run strong MAGA-fueled candidates to counteract that. And for all the people replying to you worrying about authoritarian takeover, the reality is that it's inevitable anyway at the rate our society is headed. We're sooner or later going to fall prey to one form of authoritarianism or the other. But when it comes down to it, I'd rather that authoritarianism come from the right.

@WinterRaven25 The "leave me the hell alone" mentality has led to lockdown and vaccine tyranny, big tech growing stronger and stronger, the 2020 election being stolen, and pizza diddling and oversexualization of our youth becoming normalized and accepted in our society. There's only so much degeneracy society can withstand before it completely falls apart and leads to the sort of chaos Thomas Hobbes wrote about. I get that you're nostalgic for the 1980's and early 90's when the establishment was much better at hiding their inner lust for total and complete power, but those days are long over and we need to be prepared in any way we can.

@ImAManMann That's you blindly assuming there will be a C choice, and there won't be at the rate our current political trajectory is headed. Like it or not, we're maybe like 5 years AT MOST away from heading towards a Civil War, and the only way that war will be won is if we begin to firmly choose sides. By all means if you want to continue living by the mentality of "just let the politicians do what they want, the constitution will save me in the end anyway", even though such a mindset has repeatedly been proven not to work, you do you, but you'll be left in the dust. You may not like that fact, but it's the brually honest truth. I don't think you truly understand the monster we're up against if you actually think lolbertarianism is a viable solution.

That only happens when they need a convenient scapegoat to throw under the bus in order to cover up the crimes of their fellow Democrats. The establishment knew that if Cuomo's nursing home scandal continued to gain traction, it would eventually reach and spread out to other evil Democrat governors like Whitmer and Murphy, and could eventually take almost the whole party down. And of course the power-hungry Dems can't bear the thought of that! So they Me-Too'd Cuomo to prevent that from happening and also since they knew that next in line was someone even more evil than him anyway!

Amen to that. Anyone still trying to cling on to the neoconservatism that defined the Bush and Reagan years need no role in today's GOP and can frankly become Dems for all I care.

And once we get rid of dark money. Getting rid of term limits alone won't accomplish much so long as money still plays a huge role in how politicians vote.

The Dems know damn well that the vast majority of Americans are firmly opposed to the garbage in their platform and want no part of it, which is why they relied almost exclusively on "Orange Man Bad" for 4 years straight. Needless to say, it's biting them in the arse!

Can't wait to see far leftism get absolutely trounced next year!

@ImAManMann Well then that's too damn bad, because like it or not, authoritarian regimes are coming. It doesn't matter if we want them or not. It's an inevitability with how polarized and brutal our modern political climate is, and so we must be prepared for it in any way possible. Also, you clearly have been trying to espouse your libertarian philosophy this entire time and shaming everyone else for not agreeing with it.

@WinterRaven25 I don't think you understand my point so let me spell it out for you as well: Inaction breeds corruption and tyranny. As nice and ideal as it may sound on paper to just live your entire life free of any kind of government intervention, at some point society collapses when you then allow a particular government breed as well as corporate elitists to grow stronger and stronger and decide your fate for you anyway. The elites know they can get away with imposing whatever kind of dictatorial nonsense they want on us so long as we never fire back or demand better from them. They rely on complacency to be able to pull off all the stunts they do. Just imagine, for instance, if every single 2A supporter showed up at the headquarters of Walmart armed and ready for confrontation tomorrow. Perhaps then at that point they'd consider re-evaluating some of their scummy practices if they feel genuine fear for their lives and bottom line. But then if we just assume they and all the other corporate dictators will one day appease us, well then it will only embolden them. That's libertarianism's fundamental flaw: It doesn't take into account the human race's lust for money and power. No matter what we do we can't change human nature. For the unvaccinated like me and you, they have no problem squishing all over us so long as we're willing to be good little lap dogs and comply with everything they want us to. Such behavior only ends when the people are willing to show resistance and put their foot down. Perhaps we can talk about going back to a "live and let live" sort of mindset once we've fully or almost fully cleared American society free of the immoral and destructive framework and laws the left has built, but until that day comes now is the time for action and a little more than just saying "please show me mercy".
