RINO - George W bush, Jeb Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Dick Chaney, Mitch McConnell, etc.
I read that of all the living Republican former Presidents, V.P.s,, or nominees, the only Republican to endorse Trump in 2024 is Sarah Palin? Jeez, just read this list of GOP notables that disavow Trump for a second term.

I guess I've been a RINO for 40 years and didn't know it. Or maybe Orange man IS bad!

@ Puddy Tat, as a liberal, I have a question for you.
What is it specifically that you dislike about the Democrat agenda?
As a liberal, I can offer some type of response. Most of the problems conservatives have with liberal policies boil down to not realizing they have choices or that the problem requires a solution that isnt easily solved by ignoring it or more practical solutions.

Bigoted conservatives have a problem with liberal policies because they run counter to their bigotry. Its that simple

So exactly what is the point of this post, seems to me that this is no different than CJKunts clickbait posts, and the OP is just trying to stir the pot with an obvious argument.
The political forum should be renamed the idiot containment zone. LOL.

Moderate Democrat: propose solutions to real problems that government can solve
Conservative: I don't want to pay for it because I got mine
MAGA: screams something about Mexicans and trans people
Conservative: tries to remind MAGA that while they are on the same side, there are plenty of conservative Mexicans and you need their votes
Far Left: somehow brings the current trendy cause into the discussion (currently: Gaza)
(Shouting max ensues between the far left and MAGA, nothing gets done and the Conservative wins because conservatives like the status quo and prefer for nothing to ever happen)

@ Puddy Tat, I will admit that last sentence turned into a run-on sentence.
Rewrite: Most of the problems conservatives have with liberal policies boil down to not realizing they have choices. Most of our current problems require practical solutions that aren't just "ignore it".

@ Puddy Tat. combination of economic illiteracy, creating strife among Americans, destroying the social fabric or shared values of the country, rolling back explicit constitutional rights under the premise of "safety," sacrificing strength abroad in favor of looking "nice."
Economic illiteracy: I assume you mean taxing businesses more so that they in turn tax citizens more. Why can't their be a reasonable limit on how much a business can tax despite government involvement. A 15% cap on price increases within 24 months of federal business tax on domestic corporations would be fair.
Creating Strife: This is entirely dependent on context. Are we referring to the Transgender Agenda, The Conservative Agenda, The Woke Politics, The Evangelical Politics, Project 2025 (or its toned down derivatives). The truth is that most people don't want to live under any of these.
Rolling back Constitution: I assume you mean 2nd Amendment. This could be a discussion by itself. Regulations would go a long way in keeping certain problems under control. However, even I will admit that there is little you can do against mass shooting. Typically the firearms involved were LEGALLY bought. Unless we want to put security guards at every school setting, we really don't have a solution.
Sacrifice strength aboard: This is based on whether you believe the US should have interventionist policy. The truth is Europe needs to rearm itself and meets its bare minimum defense spending. I think the US really shouldn't be involved in most foreign conflicts (that means Ukraine and Israel). The Evangelicals pushing supporting Israel has inevitably meant we have to continue supporting proxy wars in the Middle East with no tangible benefits to us. Ukraine is a money laundering operation. Isolationism, for at least 4 years, should be implemented. Israel won't fall. Ukraine was going to have to submit anyway.
