Well, historically, there are a lot of Republican ideals in great awakening.
But yeah, there are some distinctly un-Republican stuff here.
Because I'm in a conversation here with people who think it's a dandy idea to force taxpayers to pay to house, feed, clothe, and provide Healthcare to homeless people and junkies because, and I quote:
What price is too high for a better society ?
Several people there seem to be very upset that I think, instead of forcing taxpayers to foot this cost, we first, 1.expect people to put on their big boy and big girl panties and take care of themselves, 2. in the cases of people who legitimately need help, that their families become involved before forcing the bill on the US taxpayer, and then barring that, 3. Just use the laws we already have in place over things like vagrancy, destruction of property, drug use, panhandling etc...and enforcing them very strictly.
This seems to be more in lines with what liberals would argue for, and definitely not Republican. So, yeah, I guess...
🤷♀️
I was only referring to the notion that we can't talk poorly about Republicans here. We can and absolutely have for years. Its ok to hold traditionally liberal and conservative ideals at the same time. Governing isn't black/white or left/right all or nothing.
As far as your points about government spending helping out people, the 10th amendment says that what powers aren't given to the federal government are thereby left to the states. Would you be ok with government assistance if it came from the local and state governments, paid for with local and state taxes and voted on and supported by the constituents of those governments?
Calirado is in on the act…lol…nail ‘em and gay dual citizen governor who bought a kid with his ‘partner’ to the wall.

Colorado Democratic Party - Federal Account
Support the Colorado County Comeback
The Colorado Democratic Party is proud to launch the Colorado County Comeback, a strategic initiative designed to take the fight to elect community-minded folks to battleground county-level district seats. This project will prioritize targeted investments into counties and candidates, comprehensive campaign planning, rigorous training, and robust staff support for dynamic campaigns led by both incumbents and challengers. Ten applicants will be awarded with the initial grants, with more grant opportunities possible later in the year.
Why Counties? Of Colorado’s 192 county commissioners, only 34% are Democrats. The stats only become more dire when considering Boards of Education, city councils, and other county-level positions. While Democrats are focused on bringing down the cost of living and protecting our outdoor spaces, far-right MAGA extremists on commissions are in the pockets of polluters, and holding back progress on delivering federal resources and creating the dynamic new jobs that will revitalize communities across Colorado. It’s time to end the supermajority of far-right Republican commissioners in Colorado.
The next frontier of Colorado politics is local. By focusing on local races, we’ll cultivate grassroots success that can translate into significant victories at the Congressional and statewide levels.
Federal contribution limit to the Colorado Democratic Party: $10,000 per person per calendar year.

It's that "when" part that always leaves me waiting....
Winred suck too. Just donate directly to who you like.
This can't be true. Senator Warren tells everyone to donate to Act Blue.
Take a gander through WinRed. Same thing, different team...
Shhh! I don't think we're supposed to realize that. Or talk about it.
This is the great awakening. We are not republicans.

So we can suddenly trust that elections and votes are valid?
Inform people and scrutinize the process. You only have 2 options to change the government, and I prefer the peaceful option.
